This video is satirical. A few months ago I heard the story of a Father who took his young son to a Thunder game. Upon winning a nailbiter, the son was disappointed. When asked why, he told his Father. “We’re supposed to be tanking for picks!” This culture is pathetic and I had fun making this video.
@@DirtyDev Aint no one care about that unless they go 74-8 or win the chip. Trust me no one gonna remember this season for OKC other than it being Chets rookie season
@@FrankMichaelSmithyou’re not a game changer-you’re a clown ass idiot 😂😂 Okc a game away from being the # 1 seed in the west. This team is already a contender and waaaaaay ahead of schedule. One of the dumbest takes I’ve ever seen lmao
Futures bright for OKC tho and there's a very good chance you guys make the playoffs without even having to go through the play ins so most likely a 6th seed?
I've lived in Oklahoma City for 57 years and I will be voting no Because what he is telling you is b******* the thunder didn't agree to pay for half of the arena they agreed to pay for 50 million the taxpayers are stuck with the rest
Is he a clippers fan or a Philly fan I figured since he's from Pennsylvania he's a Philly fan but either way he's probably mad because The Thunder saw the value in Isaiah Joe whereas the sixers were letting him ride the pine lol
Disrespectful for no reason, why are the thunder trashed for having 2 rebuild seasons (last season wasn’t even one) and teams like the magic or pistons aren’t called out to the same degree as them.
I can’t stand that! Always saying the team needs to be relocated because we had a small time we didn’t know what direction the team was going in or because we haven’t won a title. When the last time Orlando won a title or been to a conference finals? When the last time the Grizzlies competed for a title? People are weird lol
Winning 40 games and making the play-in tournament with the youngest team in the league the 3rd year into a rebuild is a “pathetic culture”? Can you tell me how the Rockets and Pistons rebuilds are going? Did the Spurs just tank for Wemby? Didn’t the Blazers bench Lilliard to tank? Why would you single out the Thunder? As far as I’m concerned they’ve done this rebuild right and faster than many other teams have over the past 20 years.
Satire or not…this aged like milk left outside in the summer. The I’ve never been more hyped or enthusiastic about Thunder basketball, including the 2012 season.
Thunder have literally 2 losing seasons, and suddenly our team never wins, just talking to talk. Same way SVP said we should be penalized for being the face of tank, when we had literally 2 bad years where Shai was injured for most of it. Pay attention to the game instead of just talking
“This culture is pathetic” Sorry that we don’t have to tank to make our team better, we just have the GOAT GM. And in a couple of years we will se how pathetic that ring is.
I guess I don't understand the need for a new arena since our current one is in a great location and seats within 2000 of the largest arena in the NBA.
The thing is OKC needs the Thunder. I live in Oklahoma City and we behind them 💯. OKC needs to grow as a city. It will benefit everyone more than hurt us.
It is growing there building huge factories and distribution centers to create jobs. They are building many neighborhoods like crazy. More and more people are moving in from out of state.
They're a good young team plus they have 16 1st Round draft selections over the next 6 years? If their GM handles this right they could be the next Dynasty!!!
Let’s talk about them wanting to build the biggest skyscraper in North America as part of this arena. It sounds crazy, but I’m with it. I don’t like it when people don’t think big so I say go for it.
The taxpayer always foots the bill, that how’s government spending works. It won’t increase taxes, and many actions do sustain themselves. Arenas with city funding often pump money into the economy, and the cities wallet for future spending. Some people just go “government spend money >:(“. There’s a reason you’re not in charge.
@@ryanrzjr It is not the government and taxpayers responsibility to pay for arenas and stadiums that team owners use to make millions in profits. Studies show that the 'economic growth/impact' does not pay the bills. Taxpayers who receive ZERO benefit from the arena or stadium often pay the lion's share of the taxes and cost. At the least, shifting tax revenue to the arena/stadium leaves other programs needing funding. The claim is the total of the economic impact equals the cost but that averages the impact to every taxpayer when very few taxpayers receive any benefit. A few will receive much more benefit that they pay in taxes. Developers, hotel owners, restaurants, and such will win big and fund the political campaigns.
@@ryanrzjr " Arenas with city funding often pump money into the economy, and the cities wallet for future spending. " Yes, but only a few taxpayers benefit more than it costs them in taxes. Politicians get campaign funds and expand government at the expense of taxpayers. Are you a socialist?
@@idadho I think you have a big misunderstanding of both why the government would spend this money and why it comes out as a profit. No one has a responsibility. Sports teams don’t even have a responsibility to get a new stadium, so using the word responsibility here serves no purpose as it’s about entertainment The city itself does gain money on attractions, not just the people with profit in the stadium. Sports are one of the best tourist attractions as it invites plenty of people from around to come in and spend money, money you tax, money that boosts your local economy, and money that returns to the spending budget. Bigger stadium = more seats = more tickets = more tourism. There is a very large financial incentive for a city government to foot a portion of the bill and in return gain money not just from previously listed methods, but also portions of the income of the stadium. Studies show that city governments see more spending money after large stadium expansions, and that’s money that goes into other programs to help the city and its residents.

Right? We’ve been taking for two years, and everyone wants to act like we’re the hornets. People don’t know sh*t about the thunder.
Worst season to have that take, we’re smashing teams this year and the nuggets have been one of them multiple times this season
"except the team" as they're undefeated in the playoffs right now (so far)

I stopped watching after we lost kd, Westbrook, harden and the rest, for the first time since then I'm excited to watch the thunder
This was uncalled for and I'm not even a thunder fan
1st in west, pretty sure that is winning !
Ngl i would stand at the kiosks while the game is going on 😆
You’re eating those words now aren’t you Buddy? First seed in the west and just swept the first round.☝️
“except the team” thunder balling what you talkin about
This is old
Alright, time to make a road trip to OKC
Dynasty=4 straight titles
As a thunder fan, man its nice having that one seed🖕
If you think the team is bad you’re out of your mind
There on the come up good young team they have talent
OKC better keep drafting well or else ain’t nobody gonna lay to go play with a touch screen showing off Anthony Bennett 2.0 😂
Just to be clear he’s talking rubbish
Lol. Dude has no idea how dedicated to the Thunder's fans are to that team
We so up rn
THE WORST MISTAKE THIS YOUNG TEAM COULD MAKE IS SIGN THAT BUM LEFLOP. PLEASE DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT
I would drop my thunder like a turd if they even try going for labum

This video aged well. Lol
You just had your first rounder stolen by Sam Presti buddy

Seattle SuperSonics also had the problem with the arena despite having a good team so now what.

They got Lebron in OKC Thunder jersey. You better stop it 😂
How’s that “except the team” mindset now?
This young thunder team is really good I think we just need another big guy
Honestly an embiid or even siakam would make us title favorites
@@hhxh5769 oh yes
"except the team"
Y’all know me still the same OG but I’ve been low key,

And here we are where okc is the number one seed n the west
Eating those words now arent you? 😂

Except the team alright
yeah number two in the west sounds like we’re winning to me
"except the team" - 57 wins later...
your information on funding is wrong. OKC isn't paying half. they aren't even paying 10%
No he didn’t just shade them at the end💀
With love; from the first seed ❤
Oh how this aged so well “except the team” lmao what a joke, you obviously haven’t been paying attention. ThunderUp ⚡️
10-4 😎
He thought he was clever when he said except the team
Time for an update.
I guess I don't understand the need for a new arena since our current one is in a great location and seats within 2000 of the largest arena in the NBA.
😡 hate the last part but everything else is good. Also Frank the team is young and we were a game away from the playoffs so relax
you sobbing bro
Cookie its not that deep man. Just enjoy the show whenever the team is amazing in 2 years

I disagree with that assessment
@@hoboninjuh8057 why
If arenas and stadiums were so great from an economic standpoint the owners would fund all of their costs. They literally never do.

All they need to do is draft Bronny early and pay daddy the vet min and boom. They rule the world lol
Ngl that would’ve been badass lmao

Public funding of stadiums never pays for itself. The local taxpayers end up footing the bill.
They are using the money from the current sales tax that’s already in effect plus reallocating funds from other projects.
The taxpayer always foots the bill, that how’s government spending works. It won’t increase taxes, and many actions do sustain themselves. Arenas with city funding often pump money into the economy, and the cities wallet for future spending.
