A bison, who would have guessed?! That is what I thought the team was originally going to be called.
What is his name going to be? I am guessing Billy the Bison.
Also, I want to see him fight Benny the Bull in a no holds barred Horns to Horns. Oh yeah.
Go Thunder!!!!!!!

Bison... shouldve been the team's nickname originally in my opinion.
I really have no idea why it took so long for OKC to get a mascot

Yes unfortunately Bison Dele is dead. If I remember correctly he and his wife were vacationing on their boat and I think his brother shot the both of them? Some where is South America. Happened during his NBA career.
Here is his career stats
