Okay…I’ll just come out and write this on my blog. The very last thing I want my blog to be is something akin to the work LNG*, Michael Cage, and the other Thunder sycophants on Sam Presti’s payroll churn out on a 24/7 basis.
This MJ doesn’t need a Sam Presti’s Thunder subsidy.. This MJ worked his tail off for fifty years or so and completely undertstands the Darwinian aspects of the American free enterprise economy…which btw has had a sense of socialism attached to it since the days of FDR thru Eisenhower thru LBJ thru thru Richard Nixon* thru Bush 41 thru President Obama thru Sleepy Joe Biden thru Trump to date.
I don’t want or need that money. I keep this blog going because I obviously have a burning passion for sport and have had that burning passion since I was probably five years of age.
The other MJ, the one who like me who doesn’t wear socks when he’s wearing dress clothes, pretty much has been very vocal on what he thinks of the pussification of the modern day NBA player. I just love the fact MJ doesn’t wear socks like me. I can’t get over how happy that makes me feel.
On my mission here with okcthunderground.com…I want to make it perfectly clear I do not include Shai, Lu, and Kenrich in that category. I love those guys because they, like Nick Collison and Russell, stuck with this Thunder organization through all the tanking shit Sam Presti made them crawl during the rebuild.
Those three crawled on their hands and knees through that tunnel from Shawshank into the daylight. Those three are royalty on my blog because for normal Americans it takes that type of drive and mental toughness to make it in America.
Sometimes…we play f–king hurt or when we don’t feel completely wonderful.
Like MJ who played in an entirely different generation, I’m getting a little weary of what I’m seeing agents in the NBA doing to the sport. When a fan buys a ticket to see Tony Bennett or Taylor Swift or whomever there is a reciprocal duty for that performer to give the fans an honest night of entertainment.
Again…if I were Sam Presti I’d sit Shai tonight as we’re near the All-Star break. The Pelicans are awful. Let’s see who wants to crawl through the Shawshank shit with Shai, Lu, and Kenrich and repeat as NBA champions.
It you lose the game…so what.

- From this point forward how I’ll note Little Nick Gallo on the blog.
- Eisenhower and Nixon both advanced Social Security with their full presidential endorsements. Nixon even created the EPA while in office. You Trump do-do heads…fact check me if you need to.
