Amazing how good he is. And he’s young

I’ve watched him for some years and its amazing the growth he’s had. What impressed me is he’s a good person too.

When traded from Clippers to Thunder he could have rejected it or not embraced it. Yet he came in and said all the right things from day 1.

He had to go thru transition from OKC making playoffs to a basic tank type team. Always kept working.

He said he wanted to become best ever. Said he wanted to bring a title to OKC. Never once has he even hinted at wanting out and said he loved it here. Said he could see himself playing all his years here.

For a small market team thats music to our ears. He’s cemented himself in the community.

On the court he got help from Presti and saw his vision. Was patient during rebuild. Now he won MVP and on cusp of making title series.

He’s really fun to watch if anyone would spend time they’d know he’s a special talent. He could score so much more but has a knack for getting his yet making sure everyone gets theirs - not easy to do.

OKC broke so many scoring records he never played in so many 4th quarters. Else his stats would be way up there. And he doesn’t care, just wants to win.

A tradition locally is during playoffs when they return fans go out to airport to greet players. After Mon night game they got back here at 3am. Fans were there and SGA and rest came out to greet them. He could easily just skip that yet he made time.

As our only pro sport they get top billing and don’t compete with other sports like NFL, MLB, NHL, MSL, or any other pro sports. Its a very unique thing and works well here. City is spending over $1B to build a new arena, will be ready for 2028 season. He will have a big imprint on that especially if they win title this year

Bro what?

We haven’t actually talked about it yet. You just throw a fit right off the bat.

You replied to what amounts to my hypothesis. And we never get farther than that because you do, this.

And still hasn’t won shite in all those years.

Edwards on a milk carton to start.

In all sincerity, can you do us a favor and stop spamming OKC stuff? This is just a general discussion of the NBA playoffs. Reddit has a dedicated Thunder sub with live game threads if you want to homer it up with your fellow fans.

Holy melt lol

Who approves posts? Do I need to ask Chicken if its ok to post in a BB thread. Tell me who approves posts on here

Tough start for Naz Reid.

Gotta level with you dude, I agree with him 100%. I don’t blame you for being excited about our boys kicking arse but very few people here care about most of this stuff. shite we could even have a dedicated Thunder thread for this stuff elsewhere on the MSB… but this is for the playoffs, not all things OKC.

Not trying to trash your enthusiasm, just don’t think this is the place. IMO. Respectfully
