Post-Shaq, a LOT of people hated Kobe's playing style. Then everyone loved him once the SuperTeam Heat took over.

Once the sun sets on the Thunder's run, plenty of people will change the tune on SGA. It's like clockwork. Hell, look at Tom Brady. Most HATED the Pats yet now love Brady.

This isn't anything new.

Before they had a team? Genuine question, not trolling.



Oklahoma and Oklahoma State

Oklahoma state home games used to be packed

I moved to OK right before HS. The OU/OSU basketball games (especially OSU at home) were badass. Sad what both have become.

I would say that most people would be "meh" on SGA. But we are prisoners of the moment (goes without saying), so everything TODAY is the GOAT or WOAT. Fans of good teams act obnoxious and OKC fans are no different from Heat/Warriors/Lakers/Celtics fans. But whatever, it's an activity on which I have no impact, nor does it impact my life, since I do not gamble.

Became Bulls fan from just prior to MJ and stayed all through his years even his baseball ones. Once he retired I just rooted for many teams

You are the LAST PERSON ON EARTH to be telling anyone about being a keyboard warrior. The way you slob all over a grown man’s junk like you do judge is pathetic. Come up for air sometime, Jesus.

In addition to the NBA team, the Dodgers AAA team (OKC Comets) play in a beautiful park right in the heart of downtown.

They are also getting a 10,000 seat soccer stadium to house the new team coming in 2028 owned by Russell Westbrook and Jozy Altidore, among others.

OKC is a fantastic city. There are a million things to do. It’s clean and safe. It has great food.

Watch out, some folks in here are angry about people supporting their local (only) professional sports franchise and being more/less invested depending on how well the team is doing. Apparently that’s a rather uncommon occurrence.

I’m an OU alum that’s an Arkansas fan, St. Louis Cardinal fan, New Orleans Saints and OKC Thunder fan. I feel like that’s extremely regional and reasonable
