Upon their mid-day arrival from Miami on Friday, the Oklahoma City Thunder were greeted by thousands of fans showing their appreciation for a great season. Players took turns on the mic thanking fans as they were taken by surprise. As Sixth Man of The Year James Harden took the mic he stated ''I don't think any other NBA team has the support that we have, and it means a lot to us,'' ''I know my teammates are definitely appreciative of you guys. Again, thank you." ''Next year, we'll be back in that situation and we're going to bring a championship here.''
Many of the players apologized to the fans for not bringing the series back home. The Thunder has come a long way within the four years they have been in Oklahoma. That is all the fans need in order to show them that they are a huge part of that city. In the off season, there will be difficult decisions made involving James Harden and Serge Ibaka who is entering their final year with the Thunder. On another note, the line-up remains the same. I am pretty sure like any other team in the league, OKC will work hard to make sure that their fans will have the big championship parade next year.
