I just finished reading the ESPN Nick Collison article (as told to Royce Young) and full disclosure, tears are streaming down my face. It’s not like his departure wasn’t widely expected. Many felt this would be his last season even before training camp. Rather, it’s the end of an era in a way and more importantly the OKC Thunder and the NBA have lost one of the good guys.
Collison exits having spent the entirety of his career with one franchise via four seasons in Seattle and 10 in Oklahoma City. Widely known as Mr. Thunder this is a bittersweet moment for all Thunder fans.
