Reminiscent of the Thunder airport welcomes in 2012 when the Thunder made their run to the Finals as kids. So much has transpired since then. The team is so different. Harden is in Houston. Perk and Thabo in other cities as well. Reggie Jackson is a minimalist starting point guard for the upstart Detroit Pistons. Cole Aldrich is a Clipper. Derek Fisher has been a head coach with the NY Knicks and fired. Scott Brooks about to begin his head coaching career with the Wizards. Kevin Durant possibly on the cusp of leaving thru free agency this July.
It feels like a lifetime between then and now basketball wise.
It puts a lump in my throat watching this video. So many good memories flash in an instant. This is what some of the national media don’t get about the Thunder in Oklahoma City. The small market closeness which has brought the city together. Like the Packers are in Green Bay—the Thunder are the focal point of the community.
