Media day for teams is always a fun, low-pressure environment for players to introduce themselves (or reintroduce themselves) to their fanbase.
The Oklahoman grabbed the 10 best quotes from the Thunder’s media day, and here are a few for you to enjoy. Not surprisingly, Russell Westbrook gave a remarkably nuanced answer to his approach:
I be myself at all times as you guys know, and it’s important to do that, and that’s part of being a leader, part of being a leader of this team, an organization, and that’s what I do.
Yeah, just kidding.
Here is Billy Donovan discussing newcomer Dennis Schroder:
Well, before the trade ever happened, I had an opportunity to speak with Dennis, and we had some very, very candid conversations, and the one thing I would say coming from those conversations is that he’s extremely competitive, and winning is a high priority for him.
Here’s Paul George on Westbrook’s recruitment house party:
Russ got a new house?
Lastly, be sure to check out all of them, but my favorite is Schroder reminiscing on pre-draft workouts which involved one youthfully shorn Steven Adams:
I remember his screens still.
We’re inching closer. Hang in there, we’ll make it through this offseason together. Just thinking about it makes Enes Kanter’s nipples hard.
