Best part about this is most people’s reaction would be “you too” or something to that effect. Nah dub just hits him with the “gonna be a good series”

I know this video of Jalen Williams being mic’d up during the first game against Dallas was already posted here but this part in way is hilarious and encapsulates the 2023/24 Thunder experience.
Despite finishing as the first seed in the West and sweeping the first round it still comes as a surprise to people that Thunder are actually good. It’s as if the opposition fans and players don’t take Thunder seriously until the game has started.
And I actually don’t think it’s a bad thing. Basically no other team this young has ever played at this level so people think the Thunder will still collapse at one point (due to inexperience and size). But it’s funny to see how people outside of Thunder bubble perceive basketball teams. For example, if Thunder added a player like KD, Embiid or Booker, the general consensus would be that the Thunder are the best team, but in reality the team is as good as it is right now mainly because of how every player know their role and adding an established player would most likely disrupt this balance.

Good to see the Mavs know ball even if their fans don’t.
