Nick Collison Wants Thunder to Retire Durant's Jersey: 'He's a Big Part of What We Did Here'

Warriors forward Kevin Durant will be in Oklahoma City on Wednesday when the Thunder retire the jersey of his ex-teammate, Nick Collison. The former OKC forward will be the first Thunder player to have his jersey retired and Collison is calling for Durant to ultimately have his name in the Oklahoma City rafters.

"[Durant] has meant a ton to Thunder basketball and spent a huge majority of his career here. A lot of these honors are just kind of what the team decides to do, and I think players are appreciative of them," Collison told ESPN's Royce Young.
