During his time suiting up for the Sonics, Moore wore only jersey No. 33 and put up 3.3 points and 2.8 rebounds per game.
The Oklahoma City Thunder (and the Seattle Supersonics before them) have 51 jersey numbers worn by the players who have suited up for the franchise since its founding at the start of the 1967-68 season. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Thunder Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team.
And while those Supersonics jerseys may not remain part of the franchise history should a new team be established in Seattle as was the case with the return of the Charlotte Hornets, they are part of the Thunder's history today.
For this article, we continue with the 33rd jersey number in the series, jersey No. 33, with 17 players in total having donned the jersey in the history of the franchise.
The 11th of those players did so in the Seattle SuperSonics era, big man alum Mikki Moore. After ending his college career at Nebraska, Moore would go unselected in the 1997 NBA draft, instead signing with the Detroit Pistons in 1999 after a stint in the Continental Basketball Association (CBA -- that era's version of the G League) and abroad.
The Orangeburg, South Carolina native also played for the Boston Celtics, Atlanta Hawks, (then) New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets, Utah Jazz, and Los Angeles Clippers before he signed with Seattle in 2005.
His stay with the team would span a single season, coming to an end when he was dealt to the Nets in 2006. During his time suiting up for the Sonics, Moore wore only jersey No. 33 and put up 3.3 points and 2.8 rebounds per game.
