Every Lu Dort 3-Pointer in the Thunder's Championship Year vs the Pacers.
The home crowd shouting "Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" was always amazing. Farewell Lu Dort.
Lu Dort was the longest tenured Thunder player and genuinely one of my favorite players of all time
He was a catalyst that turned the Thunder around in 2019-2020 as an undrafted rookie who became a starter and gave Harden hell round one before one of the greatest game 7 peer romances ever
He grew into one of the best defenders in the sport and a knockdown shooter who saved the championship run in that series vs the Nuggets
His moonball three from halfcourt in game 7 is the moment where it felt like the championship was won
From undrafted to a champion with the Thunder, I hope the #5 isn’t worn for the Thunder again
Thank you @luthebeast for everything, we’re not champions without you
These 3 Lu Dort 3’s in a row in the 4th quarter of game 5 of the 2025 WCSF will go down as one of, if not the most important on-court sequence in Thunder history so far.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are finalizing a trade to send guard Aaron Wiggins to the Atlanta Hawks for two second-round picks (Atlanta's in 2030 and the least favorable of Hawks/Lakers in 2032), sources tell ESPN.
People choosing to focus on officiating instead of that incredible basketball game have OKC-induced madness.
Wemby is getting held like crazy. Shai is getting held like crazy. This is playoff basketball. It's physical, especially off-ball, and you play through it. That's it.
