Nick Collison, the Oklahoma City Thunder’s resident patriarch of the franchise, 15 year vet, and one of the select few who remained with the same franchise throughout, is hanging up his high tops.
In a press release today, Collison announced his retirement from the NBA.
“My goal was always to make a career out of basketball, and I was blessed to be in the NBA for 15 seasons...As my time as a basketball player comes to an end, I’m so grateful for my family, friends, teammates, coaches, fans, my hometown, Kansas University, the Thunder organization and everyone else who has helped me along the way.
