Unbelievable photo
An undeniably beautiful shot from today’s Thunder parade that captures the growth of the city and what it has overcome over the last 30 years to get to this moment — and just how much that title means to OKC.

That's 28 seasons in the books for me. And my 23rd Finals. Hard to believe. Thanks everyone for following along and for making #NBASky a true alternative to the other place.
If the Thunder’s first title run wasn’t scary enough, the future should spook you. NBA dynasties are supposedly dead, but Sam Presti may have cracked the code.

TV ratings being down in the US for the #NHL is not the Sun Belt teams’ fault. This is a problem of the NHL’s own making. They’ve failed to market the game to new fans, despite it naturally trending that way. A region-tailored marketing approach would help with both tv ratings + playoff revenue.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander may be the next MVP, but can he be the face of the NBA his way?
For Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, loyalty is law. It's the creed of the Thunder's face of the franchise, a starter in Sunday’s NBA All-Star Game by an overwhelming vote.

Recalling those numbers is still numbing. And now he’s shooting a career high in 3pt%. Dude is 1 of 1. Respect💯
