OKC THUNDER FANS! - click the youtube link above to listen to a song for the OKC THUNDER basketball team!!
Kevin Durant led Team USA in winning the FIBA World Championship for the first time since 1994. He led all scoring against Turkey with 28 points and was the obvious leader of Team USA. This FIBA USA team was known as the "B-Team" after the stars of the Olympic team did not return. No Kobe, no LeBron, no Wade…no problem. With Durant leading Team USA to a gold, people are now wondering, how good is Kevin Durant? ESPN has even been answering the question of whether he now becomes the best player in the world. My answer to this…Yes!
I not only like their style, I like the fact that they seem to have really adopted the State.
One priceless piece on Kevin Durant. Have to admit, I never thought I'd say kind things about a Longhorn, either, but this one has earned it big time. Highlights: When asked if he or Blake Griffin was the most popular sports figure in Oklahoma, he quickly answered Sam Bradford. Then who should have won the Heisman? Coly McCoy, of course. Loves to tease everyone north of the river flashing the Horns sign, but doesn't get mad when it's returned upside-down. Refused to pose for his Rookie Challenge MVP short until teammates Green & Westbrook were alongside.
A wonderful story about the pre-game prayer at Thunder games. It's one of those which has to be read; describing it doesn't do it justice.
"The Thunder did it patching together the kookiest lineups you’ve ever seen....Who can explain it, who can tell you why? Fools give you reasons, wise men never try....for good measure, it was OKC’s first major-league win over Dallas. The Hornets were 0-8 against Dallas when they were stationed here....But the Thunder also won because the guys who had to introduce themselves to each other while they ran down the court played a professional game."
Of course the fact that the Mavs played 3 games in 4 days with a bruiser the night before probably helped, too.
Game Highlights: Krstic's highest scoring game since 2006; Westbrook's first triple double; first triple-double since the move Great night; good job
