I could listen to Jeremy Shockey talk about Dan Morgan at the University of Miami forever. This is like 80s/90s baby Mana from heaven right here frfr. The U and Shockey were real life real time mythological legends to me 😭
This is insane. The OKC Thunder are absolutely DOMINATING the league, and their supposed starting five has played a grand total of...ZERO minutes together?!
Seriously, read that again.
ZERO. MINUTES.
We're witnessing something truly wild here.
⚡ The Thunder join the 1969-70 Knicks and the 2015-16 Warriors as the only teams in history to reach this mark.
They are actively threatening the 73-9 wins record, the one everyone thought was untouchable.
⚡ OKC is crushing opponents by an average of +16.2 points per game.
This pace is on track to smash their own NBA record of +12.9 set last season and is a higher margin than even the '96 Bulls or '16 Warriors had at this point.
⚡ Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is playing so efficiently, the Thunder are blowing out teams so badly that he ranks outside the top 240 in total minutes played in the fourth quarter.
Yet, somehow, he still leads the entire league in clutch points scored. He's winning games before they even get close.
The injuries to key guys like Jalen Williams, Lu Dort, and Isaiah Hartenstein would have been a season killer for almost any other contender.
For OKC, it's simply a testament to their ridiculous depth.
We haven't even seen the final form of the Thunder, and they are already making history.

"Congrats Shai."
"Don't listen to the people calling you a foul baiter. Allen Iverson got more fouls than you."
Fans from SGA's hometown of Hamilton got the opportunity to record messages for the Thunder star 🥹🇨🇦

"A lot of people have always said, 'stars don't want to be in Oklahoma City.' Shai Gilgeous-Alexander wants to be in Oklahoma City."
