Do you feel like the Thunder’s historic season is getting enough attention?

Nobody gives a fukk about them Shai ain't a superstar and nobody gives a fucck about the other canadians and the white stick figure. Jordan was already iconic. Pippen, Rodman. Steph was must see TV. Shai is just a nikka who gets numbers . It's a bunch of nikkas who get numbers
SGA is one most popular atheltes on insta. He just doesnt do enough commercials

They dont feel like a truly great team :yeshrug:

They don't have truly great players


SGA is a manufactured superstar. He's really good, but the flopping and elbowing he gets away with it makes him a superstar

and the supporting cast has good role players who are also being inflated because of the refs swallowing the whistle.
Isn't that Tatum ? :picard:

The Chiefs not making the playoffs is a bigger story

Notre Dame not making the college playoffs is a bigger story

Probably come February people might start talking about it
100% this.

Hoop fans are locked in but the "average" American sports fan is full-go on the last 1/3 of the NFL season plus CFB playoffs.

People don't really start checking for basketball until Jan/Feb.

Shyt my Dallas Stars look like they could win the Cup in June, but I'm still focused on these sorry azz Cowboys. Make it make sense.

Bulls had the greatest player to ever play the game, fresh off retirement on a revenge tour to avenge a second round lol after winning 3 straight chips. Over half the kids in America were wearing Jordan shoes+jerseys. Also, the greatest rebounder the game has ever seen in his prime with a different hair color every night. They were rock stars

Warriors had the games greatest 3 point shooter who somehow elevated his game after winning a championship and was turning the NBA into NBA 2k on rookie mode. I seen people leave work early so they could go home and watch Steph in the middle of the season, never seen a player like him before. Shots being swished from half court 10 seconds into the offense. They also had a second Steph with Klay. Ball movement was legendary, perfectly played team ball

OKC might be both of those teams and maybe the greatest NBA team to ever take the court if a tournament could be held. Most of their bench players are starters on other teams, the entire bench not just the sixth man. Masteful build through the draft. They best player however....SGA is kinda like a dwade with some prime James harden thrown in. He's good, don't get me wrong, but he's not bringing a style of play we are unfamiliar with. Chet can shoot 3s as a seven footer but every team has that now. Jalen Williams is good but his game is basic. No one on the team stands out and nothing about them makes u want to watch a Wednesday night game when they play the trailblazers.

If anything the team is too stacked, it's not fun watching them beat everybody by 20 points every night after seeing them win a chip last yr. They got 100 first round draft picks so the talent is gonna continue to stack.

It's just not an exciting team, they dont play in an exciting market and the team is over stacked with young talent. Maybe around the all star break if they are 58-2

Yall talkin bout Jordan n all that

Well the kids that would have been entralled with jordan back in the day are now running around talkin bout "67" thats the hot shyt... this shyt white noise to the youth

The Nba needs to formulate and implement some grassroots initiatives to emotionally entrench not only youth but generations into the sport.

In college basketball at least a team can dominate all year and have a bad game in the tourney and be done

In a 7 game series I see zero teams giving the thunder a fight

Honestly I'm not even lying I think if every game started with the other team getting a 15-0 head start

Thunder would still win more games

He’s just more that way on Instagram but he’s not out in the mix. You know these days in the era of overexposure if you’re not out with rappers and actresses then you’re not outside.

Shai is a Canadian and a family man

If he was out there dropping f bombs in interviews covered head to neck in tattoos
