The Oklahoma City Thunder have started this season strong; their record now is 12-1.
Out of the thirteen games they’ve played they only lost one, that is quite the accomplishment.
The team won the championship last year and this year they are proving that they aren’t going to stop there. The team is certainly proving that they are one of the best teams in the league.
The Thunder started the season with two double overtime wins. This team has gone from the ground up.
A lot of fans thought that the end of OKC basketball was near when we lost Kevin Durant, Russel Westbrook and Steven Adams. This, however, was proven wrong last year when they went and won it all.
Oklahoma City and the state of Oklahoma have been so proud of the Thunder and their accomplishments since last year and this year the team is proving that they are still wanting to break records and grow.
Chet Holmgren has been a player that I really enjoyed watching.
Holmgren was injured last year while playing against the Golden State Warriors, this year he helped the team beat them in a 126-102 win.
The team has proven that even though they have been beaten once this season, they aren’t going to give up.
The team is already fighting to get another ring and championship win here in Oklahoma.
Last year the parade was a lot of fun, and all the players tried to interact with the fans.
I was fortunate enough to go to the parade and be close enough to a border to get high-fives.
The most fun thing about the parade though was probably seeing all the guys truly celebrate with the fans.
Where I was standing with my family there was a guy across the borders who had airhorns attached to a drill so that when you clicked the drill on the air horns would make noise.
When Isaiah Hartenstein saw it, he went and grabbed it from the fan and had fun playing around with it for a while then returned it to the owner.
There was a picture that went viral from the parade of Shai Gilgious-Alexander with his arm stretched out as they were in front of the Oklahoma City bombing memorial.
This photo meant a lot to various people in OKC, and it has become one of my favorite pictures to see.
We really saw the end and the rebirth in the picture. What we thought would end OKC became a growth and to see the team really honor that was such a great thing.
