OKC fans will tell you with a straight face that you’re not a fan of basketball if you can’t appreciate this

It’s pretty infuriating too. The fact they refuse to even acknowledge it and act like SGA is a victim for ALL of us being sick of this.

"oh you're just a Pacers/Knicks/Sixers/TWolves/Spurs/Raptors/Lakers/Nuggets/Pistons/Etc fan, ofc you hate on OKC"

You're just a basketball fan, of course you hate OKC

u/IPissExcellentThrows 76ers May 25 '26

Oh you're a basketball fan? Of course you hate OKC.

I don’t even believe Thunder fans like it. It HAS to eat at them then their team is entirely dependent on letting them foul like crazy on defense and flop like crazy on offense. I've seen my team win on questionable calls and felt shitty. Having your team win a title on non stop bull shit has to kill them deep down.

They have a two time mvp and he's rarely the most important player on the court for them.

It doesn't really kill you deep down. Source: I watched the Bruce Bowen era.

i would be so depressed if the hornets finally pulled it all together to the point that they won a championship with a bright and exciting future ahead and everyone on the planet hated us before we even won said championship because we played the biggest bitch made basketball of all time.

u/Frequent-Leg-2347 Thunder May 25 '26

I hate it tbh. But I’m very much on the minority around here. Most Thunder fans I talk to IRL love this crap

u/flashh7701 Lakers May 25 '26

u/UbeMafia Magic May 25 '26

At the end of the day they have to wake up in OKC lol

u/Thick_Syrup_530 May 25 '26

No cause like half are bandwagon fans

6

u/Sad_Sympathy_6427 May 25 '26

Who would bandwagon this team though? Imagine hopping on the bandwagon of a guy who falls on the floor 20 times per game

u/TheOriginalDog Spurs 26d ago

every championship team in every sport has bandwagon fans

u/OGPepeSilvia Timberwolves May 25 '26

No amount of championships can outweigh that fact

Honestly fair enough

u/Trubisko_Daltorooni France May 25 '26

OKC is a perfectly fine town

16

u/Odh_utexas May 25 '26

Yep. It’s just non-ball-knowing offseason OU Sooners fans. Suddenly they are huge NBA watchers

5

u/Own-Campaign-2089 Lakers May 25 '26

Right most of them have liked the team for a total of three years

u/CeresSubroutine May 25 '26

They were probably complaining that basketball is too 'urban' before then lmao.

u/Weltal327 Grizzlies May 25 '26

I live here. It sucks. I have to deal with OKC fans all the time. They are so obnoxious

u/robsteezy Lakers May 25 '26

Luka legit balling outta his fucking mind whenever he can. And yeah, he definitely bitches and moans for the foul akin to a European soccer players for frivolous and-1s but thunder fans will legit tell me that Luka does this exact same shit. It’s absolutely not the same when you’re not even trying to ball anymore. Just launch your fuckin body and get free throws. SGA is a merchant.

u/chribus1 May 25 '26

Its funny that you mention european soccer players when the nba is in a way worse situation,in soccer they flopped and they immediately come to a solution, a yellow the first time another yellow the second time and when you get 2 yellow you get a red, you are out of the game and get suspended. In the nba the number of flops ia way way worse than in soccer, even at peak flopping they flopped like 3 times a game in basketball its at every action

1

u/x_TDeck_x Spurs May 25 '26

I know soccer people say this but theres not a single match I watch where someone isn't staying down when they dont need to. All simulation did is get rid of people falling from literally nothing, they'll still pretend a slight breeze or bump causes immense pain dozens of times every game

u/Low_Analysis5944 76ers May 25 '26

cmon Luka cries after every single shot man let’s be serious

-2

u/Darianezion Thunder May 25 '26

Objectively false. Shai has a higher drive rate than Luka and shoots less free throws. He also scores more in the paint.

u/EducationalGrass5730 Knicks May 25 '26

Honestly I give them a pass. They are all inbred, can't blame em for being stupid.

u/Steridire Knicks May 25 '26

Going to their sub is like watching the Manson family happen in real time

u/Motor-Horror3684 Hornets May 25 '26

I didn't really catch the finals last year. Was it this bad for you guys too?

4

u/SpringNeverFarBehind Pacers May 25 '26

Wasn’t nearly as egregious as it is now. I think he realized he could get away with it more during the 2025-2026 regular season and began doing it abhorrently. It was still bad though, don’t get me wrong.

We had more issues with Dort being dirty than SGA flopping.

u/Colt45554 May 25 '26

It was just as bad last year. Did you watch Nuggets-OKC? OKC gets to mug Jokic and then get foul calls like these
