The Thunder have a shot tomorrow night at bringing the series back home but they are down 3-1 right now and face elimination. If they can deny LeBron James a ring I know America will be happy and I know Oklahoma will be thrilled at their first professional sports championship!
Yes they have enjoyed national championships before but this is the pro level. The big time. This time the whole state is united behind a team instead of in different college camps.
Even if they fall tomorrow night it's likely that they will be a NBA Finals participant for at least the next five years. They have dynasty written all over them and could likely be the next Spurs or Lakers and be perennial champions. They are young, they are under long term contracts, and they are getting this experience at a very young age. They are going to be a juggernaut for the years to come.
We'll get very used to seeing the Thunder play at this high level and in the next ten years they'll eventually have a rebuilding time and be at the bottom for a year or two before climbing back up to the top again. It's just the cycle of sports. Players will come and go, the team will rise and fall, and we'll win and lose.
Right now the Thunder are definitely rising though!
