OAKLAND – With Oklahoma City Thunder forward Nick Collison announcing his retirement from the NBA after 15 years, Warriors forward Kevin Durant spoke glowingly about his former teammate.
“Nick meant a lot to me,” Durant said Thursday afternoon. “As a young player, coming into the league. Just somebody I could lean on and build with.”
Collison was Durant’s teammate for nine years while Durant was played for the Seattle Supersonics during his rookie season and when the team relocated to Oklahoma City to become the Thunder in 2008.
