2007-08 Kevin Durant Rookie Seattle SuperSonics Game-Used Road Jersey

Kevin Durant’s 2007-2008 Seattle SuperSonics Game-Worn Jersey

A Historic Rookie Season

Kevin Durant, a name synonymous with basketball excellence, began his illustrious NBA career when he was selected second overall in the 2007 NBA Draft by the Seattle SuperSonics, a team that would later become the Oklahoma City Thunder. Durant’s rookie season was nothing short of spectacular, as he averaged an impressive 20.3 points per game. This achievement shattered the SuperSonics/Thunder’s 40-year-old rookie record, previously held by Bob Rule during the 1967-68 season.

Details of the Iconic Jersey

This remarkable jersey, worn by Durant during his groundbreaking rookie season, is a testament to his early impact on the league. The front left tail of the jersey features an “adidas” manufacturer’s tag, with “35 DURANT” inscribed under “PLAYER ID” in pen, a customary marking for early Durant SuperSonics jerseys. Attached to the tag are four flag tags that read:

• “50”
• “CLIMALITE”
• “2007-2008”
• “+4 LENGTH”

On the left chest, an official “NBA” logo is embroidered, while the v-neck proudly displays a SuperSonics logo. Across the front, “SEATTLE” is emblazoned in yellow on green on yellow triple tackle twill. The player number “35” appears below and on the back in white on yellow tackle twill. The player name “DURANT” is elegantly sewn in white tackle twill directly onto the green jersey.
