Around SBN: Kentucky Basketball: Where the Wildcats Stand as of Today

Starting the Thabolution

Greetings

I'm furrer4heisman and I author SB Nation's Virginia Tech blog, Gobbler Country and I'm also a native Oklahoman. Recently, my Thunder-loving roommate has been forcing me to watch the NBA for the first time and I'm slowly coming around.

As a college football and college basketball junkie, I can appreciate Scott Brooks defensive-minded style of play and in particular the play of Thabo Sefolosha. The other night my roommate and I got a little overserved and were watching a Thunder game and I asked where Sefolosha was from. The fact he's from Switzerland amused me for some reason (it was probably the bourbon) and I quickly became a fan of the guy.

Thus began the Thabolution.

In our inebriated state, my roommate and I cooked up a plan to try and get Sefolosha voted into the All-Star Game. It may not happen this year, but the goal is plant the seeds and eventually get his defense recognized.

I ask that you please vote for Sefolosha early and often as well as the Thunder's Big Three when you cast your ballot. You can also follow join the Thabolution through three online outlets: Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr. If there's enough interest we may have T-shirts at some point. You can also help support our campaign to send Sefolosha to the All-Star game on Twitter and Facebook if you so choose.

Thanks for your time and I look forward to seeing you around game threads here on WTLC.

I fully support

the Thabolution.

I’ve marked him as a write-in every time I’ve voted, too.

No Offense

No offense to their designer, but those shirts are pretty lame. If people want to help me come up with ideas, I have decent Photoshop skills and I could put something together.

Sounds good to me.

The more Thunder related shirts the better. So far we’ve discussed a swiss flag with “a thabolution will be televised” slogan. DT also knows about that idea.

Here is a different idea…

A Swiss Department of Defense logo based off of…

I like it

I like the DoD idea. Change the USA to OKC Thunder. Change the stars to basketballs. Does anyone know if we can legally use a picture of him?

I don’t think so, but I could be wrong.

I believe

any use of his likeness, name or the team name without permission is probably illegal.
