For the 75th anniversary of the NBA, the league is rolling out fresh elements across various aspects of the game – a new logo for this season, a new game ball partner in Wilson, a tone-setting short film called “NBA Lane” and the announcement of the 75 greatest players in league history on Tuesday through Thursday of this week on TNT and ESPN.
For the Thunder, which is entering its 14th season as an NBA franchise, a span that encompasses 19 percent of the total league years, the occasion is an opportunity to reflect on the pioneers who helped establish the game.
