thats what all the players and announcers said too. You gotta understand. We’re a very pro-sports culture and this was our first professional team. Of course we went nutsI Haven’t you ever heard an OU fan before? Thats why I wasn’t that surprised when durant did us the way he did, just ghosting the entire team and organization…. HE WAS A TEXAS LONGHORN !! DID YOU THINK HE WASNT A P@SSY?!!!
Those were the good old days, When we had 4 future all stars on the same team but they just couldn’t afford to keep them together. Then they didn’t put enough help around durant and westbrook. Durant left in the middle of the night like the baltimore colts and then Russ put the entire state on his shoulders and went supernova that season. Making history. Russ will always be loved and respected here and I hope to see his jersey up there someday next to Nick collisons… Ps.. don’t sleep on us now either, we got a lot of good young players and few crafty vets. I think our boys are gonna make some noise in the near future and everyone here will be cheering them on
It's a shame OKC never hit on those later draft picks. Guys like Cameron Payne/Reggie Jackson would have to find themselves almost out of the league before developing. Booker got taken one spot ahead of OKC who said they were going to draft him. They just needed one more scoring or shooting option who wouldn't be a complete defensive liability, and relying on Dion Waiters to be that punch was too unreliable. KD should've stayed though. They would've been able to flip Ibaka for Oladipo/Sabonis then potentially go after PG the following year, and Horford said he would've signed if KD stayed.
Can we talk about how lucky us Thunder fans are that in our first 4 years we went to the conference finals twice. And we went to 4 conference finals in our first 8 years.
Yeah but bro look toward the future y'all got a future Dynasty. Right now you have an all NBA 1st team point guard, probably the best complimenting 2 guard for him who can playmake to take the load of the point and score by any means and a unicorn at center. I'd say that's a pretty sweet spot to be in right now.
Crazy to think ever since this run KD and Russ were never really healthy in each playoff run until 2016. Add harden in there if they payed the luxury tax and we would be looking at the greatest dynasty ever possibly
Durant'made his decision to join warriors'how lucky he is got his 1st ring w/dubs',sad to see'he then switched'diff.teams,(result)struggling,embarrassed,🥶he can't lift a team through champs,w/o joining the warriors😆😆😃😃

@@cottonmather8146 agreed.. They sure were fun to watch though
This aged well

Soooooo spoiled!! Remember those double and triple overtime playoff games with memphis? I hadn’t seen basketball like that since I was a kid!
I never had so much fun watching basketball. They’re a good young team on the cusp right now and are pretty fun to watch
@@jay-weezy-c3m absolutely right they are going to get back to the conference finals again soon I just know it!
the ending of this game still gives me chills man. Miss our Thunder :(
the new okc squad will be back here
We’re back. Now let’s just see what happens but the present version of the Thunder are really good
9:10 Pop was screaming for them to foul 😭😭😭😂😂😂😂
KD so dominant we will never see another like like him again.
The good old days
I miss you guys
In 2023 I can say that I miss this these days

2024: OKC is now #1 in the west
As good as the 2011-12 team was this version of OKC is better but again
They also traded Josh giddey a young player like harden

This was peak OKC Thunder basketball
When we were up 3-1 in 2016 that was our peak. Woulda been the biggest upset in nba history had we won in 5
@@vjlong4581that okc team against lebron's cavs would've been a sick series
In fact we could see a thunder vs Cavs in 2024-25
It’s almost as if what didn’t happen in 2016 will happen 9 years later

I miss these days
Goddamn after that Perkins dunk that is the craziest I’ve ever seen an arena
Manifesting this, this year, 2024. Thunder Up ⚡️
My fucking heart 💔
Kd is the best thunder player of all time
I miss this OKC ERA 😢🥺
They had KD, Russ, Harden, Ibaka, Jeff Green & Reggie Jackson on one roster. And they were all 24 or younger…
Hayallerimiz falan vardı esasında
If i made a perfect basketball video it would look like this

Then went to the finals and got that ass whooped bron and them did them boys so bad that series
