I am a huge Thunder fan. I've been intensely following the team since they announced. I've always been a huge NBA fan but I was born and raised in Oklahoma, so I never had a team I felt was my own. I grew up when Jordan was at his height, I of course loved the Bulls then. After he retired I had no reason to like the bulls. I kind of went for Dallas because of the vicinity and Dirk. But, never really fell in love. When OKC got the Hornets I was very excited. I followed the team with a casual passion only. I was a fan, but I never felt I could truly get invested into a team that for sure was not staying in the city. Regardless of how it happened, it happened, the Sonics landed in OKC. I do feel sorry for those fans, but that is not going to make me stop loving the team.
I still haven't been to a game, very sad. I lived in Indiana during the first season, and I currently don't live in the US, so no chance of going to a game this season. But, I try to listen to all the games.
I really like other sports, but I use this profile for WelcomeToLoudCity.com, the Thunder fan blog, for the most part.
a fan of
Oklahoma City Thunder
