Letter #226: Thunder!!!!

Dear Thunder,

It’s insane how much I care about you. I’ve watched more basketball in the last two weeks than this entire season combined. You could say that means I’m a bandwagon fan, but this is far from the truth. I’ve been a fan from day one. The difference is I actually have cable this season and last year I was living on a remote island. Golly, you have me hooked.

I love your youngness. The loyalty of your fans. The class of your players at least from the outside. Your ability to rally an entire state around you. The way you have turned storms that we all dread into an even more exciting atmosphere for you to play in.

I love your apparel and the what I see to be solid work ethic. The enthusiasm of your bench.  The way you’ve brought life and a stronger economy to OKC. Your post game interviews and tweets…yes, I follow players! The blue and white outs at the stadium. The OKC chant.

Basically I love everything about you, and I look forward to game 7. Let’s pull this one out please. Besides, it’ll be the last of your games I’ll get to see before moving to camp (live-stream internet website suggestions are welcome!), so let’s go out with a bang.

In need of a piece of your gear to rep you in life and at K-West,

Thundering Up all the way from Branson
