Perhaps it will seem odd to state the Thunder’s greatest loss this season came via a retirement. Nick Collison may not have garnered many appearances yet his presence was no less important than Russell Westbrook.
If that feels like a stretch than you probably won’t agree with TI scribe Rylan Skiles who feels Nick Collison deserve a nod to the Basketball Hall of Fame. Collison cold be considered a throw-back player. The type of veteran every team could use and whom the Thunder youngster’s reaped copious benefits from.
Last season the big man only got on the court 15 times and in those limited appearances averaged just five minutes playing time.
