Well yeah u are right but I think it's kind of important to OKC IMO. A french journalist covering the finals couldn't believe he found a more boring city than Indy after spending some time in OKC during the finals but he also said paycom center was a good place like Windhorst. A decent amount of fans coming from South America and Europe went to OKC during the POs to watch one or a couple of playoff Thunder games and the arena being great is always a positive. Having a loud crowd and a nice arena can attract people from other places to watch live games which is good for the organisation.
That being said I'm not sure the cost/reward is worth it and it's probably the least important stuff but OKC being above average at pretty much everything is nice.


I guess. I just don’t understand the criticism of small cities with over a million people being boring. Aside from about 3-4 nba cities, what are you going to do in Dallas or Houston that you cant in OKC, Memphis or New Orleans? Dallas is bigger with more options okc isn’t a college town like Ames, Iowa. If someone is in okc for four games covering the finals, they can’t find a few decent restaurants to go eat at? Give me a break. We are talking about fans for a few nights, not an nba player building a worldwide brand. I say all of this as someone that never really cared for okc and now live in what people think is a cool city.

SGA is solid. He's no Damian Lillard! Lillard is the best player in the NBA and that $70M he's getting paid while expected to miss the entire season proves it! Lillard is the most valuable player in NBA history! Money don't lie!!!

The man has had a special year. Here's to a great offseason for our MVP and he could very well get more elite hardware if we see another year like this. Holy moly!
