SGA’s dad says he’ll never leave OKC for Toronto because family would always be asking him for tickets, and he doesn’t see him leaving for a big market with nightlife distractions.
“Shai is perfect where he is in OKC, and I don’t think he will ever leave.”

@geola388 Man I love Joe. Im really bummed. I understand he fell out of playoff rotation, and I get all of the money stuff. But he was such a good reg szn player. When his 3 ball was dropping(which was most the time) it made the game so much easier for others. He helped us get the 1 seed.
Our championship year has been the greatest year in our city’s history. Not just from the thrill of victory, but because our success on the basketball court became a prism through which the world viewed our city’s renaissance. Like never before, it was our year of arrival on the world stage. That new plateau doesn’t reset. We’ll build upon it from here.
On behalf of the people of Oklahoma City, thank you to the entire Thunder organization - the players, the coaches, the staff and the owners - for what you have given our city, and for what you will continue to give our city. Though this season didn’t end exactly the way we wanted, we know that we have years of basketball excellence ahead of us (much of which will be experienced in a new world-class arena).
The bond between this team and this city is unlike anything else in major league professional sports. Thunder Up Forever.
