3 Jersey Numbers That The Oklahoma City Thunder Should Retire

#1 Russell Westbrook

Russell Westbrook is widely known as 'Mr. Thunder'

While Kevin Durant is the best player to ever wear an OKC jersey, Russell Westbrook is certainly the most popular. Despite playing alongside KD for seven seasons, Westbrook was considered by many as the face of the franchise, and his popularity in Oklahoma City always soured well above that of his fellow All-Star.

His popularity in recent years has also only grown, as Westbrook has ignored the likes of the Lakers in order to remain loyal to the franchise that drafted him back in 2008. Since the departure of Durant in 2016, Westbrook has also taken his game to the next level, averaging triple-doubles in three consecutive seasons, while also taking home the 2017 MVP award.

Due to his longevity with the Thunder, Westbrook now holds the franchise records in minutes played, points, assists, rebounds, and steals. Westbrook has given his all to the Thunder, and it won't be long until the number 0 jersey is hanging at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
