The Thunder really do have one of the best front offices when it comes to talent evaluation and stacking up draft picks. If they were in a bigger market, they would no question be a dynasty. The biggest challenge for them is money. I don't know if they will be able to keep Shai, Chet, and Jalen on high contracts long term.
"They're close in age to most of my viewers." And I took that personally.
Because the thunder claim they won a championship, when it was actually the sonics!
I'm a okc fan. I'm from Brooklyn NY.
If OKC fails to bring a championship, they'll need a super star(Giannis, Jokic, even Ja Morant)
Thunder fans are spoiled but its hard to look fondly on the past. Sure it was great basketball but it was also pure heart break. Imagine growing up watching your team go to the finals, lose, be up 3-1 against one of the best teams of all time, lose, and then that summer your favorite player leaves to go play for the team you lost to. Then it was first round exists for a while and Westbrook leaves. Not that other teams don’t deserve it but we are no strangers to heartbreak.
And the greatest team that never was made it to game 7 of the finals and were minutes away…
Another comment mentioned this already but I too think it's because they play in….. Oklahoma. A state no one really gives a damn about. Let's be honest, they could probably have JT, Jokic, Lebron, SGA, & Steph on their roster but no one would GAF about them because their team is in….. Oklahoma
As a Spurs fan this Thunder team reminds me so much of the Duncan / Parker / Ginobili / Bowen Spurs and I'll be floored if they don't win 3+ rings in the next 8-10 years. And like those Spurs teams seems like they'll get no media love along the way (seemed like no one liked the Spurs until that dominant 2014 run).
Blah blah blah
with the bulls people even know the likes of steve kerr, longley, harper, to the worldwide audience and not just kukoc, mj, pip and rodman. people forget though pippen guarded the best player, not mj, for most of the time, just like SGA's situation. also only lakers fans can hate on boston, probably ny and philly to an extent. maybe people nowadays just don't like tatum and brown so the end up rooting against them. we lakers fans don't want them to get one back in the title count because they knew lebron can't do it anymore. but they did, it was a bad day.
2017 warriors?
Listen I'm a Thunder fan from OKC and I am always skeptical about any of my teams winning a championship. As a Thunder, Vikings, Islanders and Indians fan I'm used to being let down right at the end
8:26 yup because they should’ve been won a ring in 2016 if you ask me but KD and Russ chocked that one off leading to the weakest move in sports history and they had PG and melo and lost in the playoffs to frickin rookie Donavan Mitchell 😂 like I’m not believing it until I see it with the thunder.
If you have 3 names like SGA, you sounded like just a role player to someone not familiar like how fans look at KCP, so fans won't be as interested like they give interest to 2 named players, Michael Jordan, Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson.. except maybe for Kareem Abdul Jabbar who previously was a 2 named playee
I see Andy is shooting for a Glow Up
Ok Andy and also never seen u before
It's hard for NBA fans to give teams who haven't won a championship credit.
Na, you got it all wrong: it's because SGA is in Drake's new video – and… they not like us😜
There is only one team in HISTORY of professional sports that was the betting favorites against the entire field. 2017 Warriors were about as surest thing to win a title in sports.
Two words: unproven and small market. OK that's actually three words.
