Imagine showing this video to someone in 2010
-
And now We’ve seen every possible duo between those 3 players
-
OKC has a 3-1 series lead vs golden state... snd blows it. Then Durant joins that team. Still amazed to this day by this sequence of events
-
“I’m here to hit the backboard” - Paul George
-
To think that they drafted 3 mvps in 3 straight drafts. That's wild. Something that's unlikely to happen ever again. In ANY sport
-
The dynasty that never was.
-
Seattle losing their team is the real tragedy
-
The weirdest thing is that I used to root for Durant, Harden, and Westbrook when they all played together; now, I don’t root for a single one of them. Damn the Thunder screwed this one up.
-
Damn the 30 for 30 that ESPN is bout to make ten years from now focusing on the Thunder is going to be wild.
-
This video will be in the spank bank of thousands of Sonics fans.
-
It's crazy that even after losing 3 MVPs that this team was still very competent with SGA, CP3, Dennis the Menace, Danilo and Steven Adams. Goes to show how teams can multiply their assets by drafting well.
-
we need this series back but for the 2016 cubs or the bears!
-
You forgot to mention the fact that Oladipo is an all star and Ibaka is a champ now
-
"I'm here to stay" - Paul George
-
sam presti boutta go on a rampage with his 20+ draft picks
-
OKC downfall was trading Jeff Green for Perkins in 2011, Perks big contract was the reason Presti could not pay James Harden the extra 4Million on his extension in 2012.
-
Never forget how good those mid-2010s Grizzlies were.
-
Losing 3 MVPs that had 8 scoring titles & 3 assist titles between them is a real tragedy...
-
Who's here after Harden got traded to the Nets???
-
OKC is a perfect example of how basketball isn't just about getting good players, it's about making a good team.
