You gotta figure at some point this storming after a pivotal Thunder win this ‘storming’has some sort of super-natural merit to it. It’s pouring at the Deer Creek mini-ranch as I sit on the back porch looking into the abyss of nature and greenery.
Plus…you have to take into consideration the Hall of Fame Oklahoma weatherman, Gary England, passed this week at the age of 85. The same Gary England who was featured prominently in Sam Anderson’s book Boom Town. There could in fact be some double mojo working on this Thunder victory storm.
This is how MJ’s Three Favorite Weathermen of All-Time would go in this order…1 Gary England, 2 Willard Scott-NBC, and 3 Jimmy Cantore of the Weather Channel. Gary England was a gentleman, a pioneer, and a wonderful human being.
Either way…MJ doesn’t feel like playing Dreams again unless the Thunder have made it certain there’s going to be a parade in downtown Oklahoma City.
And unlike the bulbous Chuck Barkley, this MJ isn’t declaring a winner until one of these teams has four wins next to their name and Adam Silver is handing the O’Brien Trophy to either Shai or Siakam with confetti falling from the rafters.
A song would be nice though to take the edge off last night since as a still living Stage 4 cancer survivor I believe Dr. Showalter has told me he will kill me before the Stage 4 cancer if he finds out I’ve smoked a victory cigar or downed a real beer. Dr. S has a stare-down for certain.
So, yeah, here’s a Saturday morning different Fleetwood Mac song in honor of both teams’ performance in these Finals to date.
Love and peace.
MJ
