Ginoblli. Nice ,, like if you didn’t know how good AJ came out the gate last season, you weren’t watching.
⚡️🔥
The Thunder couldve pick Jalen Johnson&kel el
Great Video. You narration and delivery is top-notch
the thunder organization is a refreshing throwback to an old school sports team philosophy regarding scouting for character patient player development and maximizing bench utilization
this was the standard blueprint for sports in the 70s and there was less player relocation especially via free agency
hopefully less teams will be tempted to break the bank and their future for a championship cough clippers ahem
Jaylen well is a diamond 2…..
Good job! Fundamental breakdown
Well done as always
Another great Thunder breakdown video. TTFU
all big euroopeon football clubs do that
Bucks need this
He kind of reminds me of Chris Paul. He also has a really good connection with Isaiah Hartenstein.
Injuries in OKC looks more like everyone has a chance to get minutes while the others rest 😂😂😂 just give your 100% for 15-20 games ,take a break of 10 games and work on your weakness then come back smarter and stronger
Every pro team says next man up. Thunder actually mean it
Royce Young aka The Goat
the secret is flopping watch the games is hilarious
stupid fuckin video – OKCs advantage is that Chet & Jdub have been and are currently on the last year of their rookie contracts and sga is making 35 mil a season atm.
The point you're making has yet to be an advantage for OKC.
Fellow lefty and Belgian. One more reason to root for a Thunder b2b
im telling yall barnhizer will be nba ready next season
PJ Dozier was the best 35 in OKC history!
Barnhizer is looking like another 2nd round 2-way gem. And we all already know about the out of nowhere find that is Carlson.
Just like the other footbal(soccer) does it. Your analysis is a great insight that is coming from someone who played both sports!!!🎉
Yay Knicks! We just keep making others champions
This is great. This is how European sports clubs operate. Case n point Barcelona fc la masia academy. No wonder thunder are killing it. Most thought after the kd harden and RW era they would take a long time to rebuild. But with great talent pipeline and a genius of a gm at the helm took less than less than a decade to build the next nba great dynasty. Nothing but respect. P.s. raptors fan 😂.
Great video.
Love the Minecraft edit in there😂
His game does remind me of Ginobli. Very very impactful no matter the role and can make any role have a big impact on the game
That Manu pull was great, I totally see it
you're so right it's manu
