OKC Thunder

I am really stoked about the Thunder's success in the NBA this year.  Ever since my 4th grade girlfriend, Kalina Goodwin, moved to Seattle in 1994 I have been a Seattle Supersonics fan.  The 1996 finals were the glory days of the Sonics with Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton,  Detlef Schrempf, Hershey Hawkins, and Sam Perkins.  There was a rough patch of 10 years where the Sonics/Thunder did horrible and got amazing draft picks.  Eventually Sam Presti used those picks to make up the current Thunder roster of Kevin Durant, Russel Westbrook, James Harden, Kendrick Perkins, Serge Ibaka, etc.  I think we have an amazing trio in KD, Westbrook, and Harden.  I love that Kevin Durant is one of the best players in the NBA, but he is actually humble about it.  You also gotta love Harden's beard (#FeartheBeard.)
