  You're listening to the Bring the Thunder Podcast, a podcast
• 0:06
  by fans, for fans. Yes, you are indeed, ladies and
• 0:11
  gentlemen, and welcome back to the Bring the Thunder Podcast.
• 0:14
  I'm here with Savvier today, episode 31 of the Bring the
• 0:18
  Thunder podcast already. I mean, I feel like we just
• 0:21
  started yesterday, but here we are 31 episodes D how many
• 0:25
  countless videos and game recaps already done, but episode 31
• 0:31
  today. Sapir, why don't you explain to
• 0:33
  people at home what's going down today?
• 0:35
  Yeah, we're going to be doing our official locks for bring the
• 0:40
  Thunder awards for the 2025 season.
• 0:43
  So this is just for the calendar year.
• 0:45
  So that was the playoffs from starting of January all the way
• 0:49
  up until now. And obviously we started this
• 0:52
  year pretty hot, but a lot of this is going to revolve around
• 0:56
  the playoffs, I'm sure, because we won the championship, of
• 0:58
  course. But let's go ahead and get
• 1:00
  straight into it. Our first category for the year
• 1:03
  is Player of the year. I'll let Joe go first.
• 1:06
  Yeah, I mean, listen, some of these I tried to pick some pick
• 1:13
  the some things that weren't like too obvious, but this one's
• 1:16
  pretty obvious. It's going to the MVP, the
• 1:19
  Finals MVP, the conference Finals MVP, the scoring champ
• 1:23
  Shake, the oldest Alexander. You can't choose anyone else.
• 1:26
  I in my opinion, I mean I don't know how you could, but over the
• 1:30
  next few I have some interesting ones but this one I I can't
• 1:33
  choose anyone outside of SGA. Yeah, I have to completely
• 1:38
  agree. Best player on the best team
• 1:41
  carried us all last year, dominated the playoffs,
• 1:45
  dominated the finals. I mean, he's not just the best
• 1:49
  player in our team, I think he's just the best player on the
• 1:52
  planet. Barely can play fourth quarters.
• 1:56
  It's just there shouldn't be a debate on this.
• 1:59
  And if there's anyone else that thinks there's the there is a
• 2:02
  debate, please reach out to us in the comment section.
• 2:04
  We'd love to hear your opposing thoughts.
• 2:07
  And moving to the second award show, for us, it's game of the
• 2:12
  year. Where do you think we're going
• 2:14
  to go with this one? Yeah, well, for me, there's
• 2:17
  actually 2 that I chose. And it's not it's not game seven
• 2:21
  of the NBA Finals, I'll tell you that.
• 2:23
  I want to be interesting here. My my favorite game of the year
• 2:27
  personally, was Game 4 Western Conference Finals in Minnesota.
• 2:31
  Huge win to go up 31, clutch performance at the end.
• 2:35
  It got like unnecessarily close, like OKC was kind of riding it
• 2:39
  out and then all of a sudden Minnesota was back within a
• 2:42
  score or two. But Game 4, Minnesota really
• 2:45
  stamped the fact that we were going back to the NBA Finals for
• 2:48
  the first time in 14 years, 1314 seasons.
• 2:52
  So that was probably my favorite game of the year.
• 2:55
  My second favorite comes game four of the Finals, Game four in
• 3:04
  Indiana, which I'll talk about that game a little bit more
• 3:07
  because I also brought that up again soon.
• 3:11
  Yes. For me, I'm going to choose game
• 3:15
  seven of the NBA Finals or it was nerve racking to even get to
• 3:19
  that point. I mean, the nerves, the tension,
• 3:25
  the history, everything builds up to that moment.
• 3:28
  I mean, if we had lost that moment, there's not many
• 3:30
  opportunities like a small market team can get to even get,
• 3:35
  you know, a chance to win their first championship in a game
• 3:37
  seven. It felt like every possession
• 3:41
  mattered, every person that stepped up in that one.
• 3:44
  It just required the whole franchise.
• 3:46
  Honestly, it, it was just a built up moment that fans really
• 3:51
  deserved it. And I mean, I feel like Thunder
• 3:54
  fans are going to remember that moment for the rest of the rest
• 3:57
  of their lives, 'cause I mean, it's the biggest moment in our
• 4:00
  history so far. So for me, it was an easy choice
• 4:06
  all right. I was going to say really quick,
• 4:08
  I do agree with that one. Obviously it took, I like how
• 4:11
  you brought it, brought it, you know, it took the whole
• 4:13
  franchise. It took the fans, just took
• 4:14
  players, the coaches. The spirit in Oklahoma City was
• 4:17
  just, everything was so perfect about it.
• 4:20
  I I didn't want to choose it, but you had to shout it out.
• 4:24
  Yeah, most definitely. And moving towards the next
• 4:28
  topic here, it's going to be the play of the year.
• 4:32
  I'm actually going to start with this one.
• 4:35
  This is this is a great moment to mention this.
• 4:38
  It was a Lou Dort desperation deep three-game seven shot clock
• 4:44
  dying down. Nothing was going in and he
• 4:47
  pretty much just launched up a prayer and drilled it and the
• 4:51
  arena absolutely erupted. It was one of the loudest
• 4:54
  moments in Thunder history. It wasn't just it didn't feel
• 4:58
  like just another bucket. It felt like that was a big
• 5:01
  momentum swing. I know we had pretty substantial
• 5:04
  lead at that point, but that was a moment for me where nothing
• 5:08
  was dropping and he, he made Thunder history with that
• 5:12
  moment, in my opinion. So that's my play of the year.
• 5:14
  I know there's probably tons of other ones that we could have
• 5:17
  chosen, some amazing moments, but Joe, I'd love to hear yours.
• 5:23
  Yeah, I think for yours anyway. I think when Lou made that shot,
• 5:27
  everyone kind of felt that OK, we're going to win this game,
• 5:30
  we're going to be champions. I I love that play.
• 5:33
  I'll always remember that. Mine goes back to game four in
• 5:37
  Indiana finals. J Dub and and Shay were running
• 5:41
  the two man game down the stretch here and we were down
• 5:44
  and SGA kind of just took over. But there was a play that really
• 5:46
  stuck out. J Dub drove right, hit SGA on
• 5:50
  the right wing, no hesitation. SGA drills the three, OKC goes
• 5:57
  up and I'll there's more. I'm going to talk about this
• 6:01
  game, but that play in specific, I mean, SGA and J Dub were just
• 6:05
  nails during that final stretch of game four.
• 6:07
  He doesn't make that shot. We most likely don't win the
• 6:10
  finals. We're going down 31.
• 6:13
  So probably for me, that's the play of the year.
• 6:16
  Yeah, most definitely. That was a huge moment as well.
• 6:19
  Mine wasn't as high leverage, but it just felt like just a
• 6:23
  moment that everyone can think back to pretty easily.
• 6:26
  All right, we're going to move towards the best defensive
• 6:29
  performance. We may have thought of the same
• 6:31
  one, maybe not. I'm hoping you chose the one I
• 6:35
  was originally thinking of, but I'm going to go with Chet
• 6:37
  Holmgren in game seven. I felt like he altered the
• 6:40
  paint, altered shots. He was huge for us.
• 6:43
  I don't think we win without him.
• 6:45
  And the reason I'm mentioning Ludor, Chet, Holmgren in these
• 6:48
  moments and even other players we're going to mention is
• 6:51
  there's so much trade talk right now with us on a pretty, you
• 6:54
  know, losing stint and everything else.
• 6:56
  We need to take a deep breath. We have a championship level
• 7:00
  roster that we've only added more depth pieces to.
• 7:03
  We have more players coming in next season, even in the draft
• 7:06
  this upcoming year. So we have a lot to look forward
• 7:10
  to and we've won a lot of games and we should just be very
• 7:12
  thankful and happy we're in the holiday season.
• 7:15
  So stay in that holiday spirit. And Chet Holmgren actually had a
• 7:19
  record amount of blocks in game seven, especially for his age.
• 7:23
  And he just showed us why he's a defensive franchise pillar.
• 7:27
  That's that's right. He's still in in the leader in
• 7:31
  DPOY race this year. And he was huge for us in that
• 7:34
  finals run. So for everyone calling him
• 7:36
  weak, whatever else, I mean, come on, he's won a championship
• 7:39
  ring and that's a lot better than Wimby has done.
• 7:43
  Savvy, I went with chat Game 7 record setting, most blocks in
• 7:49
  the NBA Finals, Game 7 history. I mean, how can you not choose
• 7:52
  it? I know we had a lot of defensive
• 7:54
  moments last year. I also just wanted to shout out
• 7:57
  like it's not even a specific moment, just Alex Caruso
• 8:00
  guarding Nicola Yokich and Jaron.
• 8:05
  That was outstanding. But you can't, can't go away
• 8:08
  from what Chet did in game seven.
• 8:09
  He was everywhere in game seven. He not even you already
• 8:13
  mentioned it, not even setting the record for blocks, but he
• 8:15
  was altering like every single shot in the paint.
• 8:19
  Dominant performance by Chet won championship Chet Game 7.
• 8:23
  The award goes to from me. Yeah, most definitely.
• 8:27
  I think that was amazing defensive performance.
• 8:30
  What is the best scoring performance of the year, Joe?
• 8:34
  Where your jaw was on the floor? Yeah, there were so many.
• 8:38
  I know we're obviously thinking of the MVP when it comes to
• 8:41
  scoring performances for us, but Joe, take it away.
• 8:45
  Yeah, I mean, a lot of the Thunder fans out there right
• 8:48
  now, we're going to be like, what is he talking about?
• 8:50
  Because SGA had multiple 50 point games, multiple high 40
• 8:54
  point games. I think the best scoring
• 8:57
  performance for the Thunder all season long was Jalen Williams
• 9:00
  dropping 40 points in the NBA Finals.
• 9:03
  Huge game for J Dub. SGA played great in that game as
• 9:06
  well. But for Jalen Williams to step
• 9:08
  up in the biggest moment, the NBA Finals dropped a 40 burger
• 9:13
  at home. That was game five.
• 9:17
  I think we all thought that we were going to go into Indiana
• 9:19
  and take in six. After that performance, we
• 9:21
  obviously got killed. But that performance and that
• 9:24
  scoring performance, it stands out to me by far.
• 9:31
  Like that's just, I'm not even going to remember SG as 50 point
• 9:34
  performance in Golden State last year during the regular season
• 9:37
  in a game that we lost. I'm going to remember J Dub
• 9:40
  stepping up, dropping 40 in the NBA Finals and taking the win.
• 9:44
  Yeah, most definitely. Mine wasn't maybe as high
• 9:47
  leverage, but if you remember the career high Shay 55 point
• 9:52
  game, my job was on the floor for that one.
• 9:55
  I mean, it was one of those moments where it's like he's the
• 9:58
  best player in the league and people still think back to that
• 10:01
  game. So I I just from just a scoring
• 10:05
  perspective and we haven't had a high level score since like
• 10:07
  Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, like Shay Gilbert Alexander.
• 10:11
  So if I don't mention his name when it comes to scoring, I
• 10:14
  mean, we've got to at least, you know, give him his props as well
• 10:17
  throughout the whole season for all the crazy games that he
• 10:20
  dropped. And obviously, J Dub deserved a
• 10:23
  good shout out for this as well. Moving along here.
• 10:27
  There's one more SAP here I want to throw in there just to give
• 10:29
  him some absolute credit cause the guy was an absolute baller
• 10:32
  last year during the regular. Show I know who you're going to.
• 10:35
  Aaron Wiggins 41 point game against Sacramento, just got to
• 10:37
  put it out there. That was outstanding and he had
• 10:39
  a 14 rebounds in that game too. So shout out Aaron Wiggins.
• 10:42
  Yeah, shout out to Aaron Wiggins.
• 10:44
  We still want him starting and getting more minutes.
• 10:47
  We're going to keep hammering that until it gets somewhere.
• 10:50
  So. Role player of the year.
• 10:54
  I'm going to go ahead and lead with this.
• 10:56
  I think this is an easy one. The glue guy, veteran, elite
• 11:01
  perimeter defender, winning plays everywhere.
• 11:04
  Brought the toughness, brought the IQ, brought the playoff
• 11:07
  experience, honestly brought the ring that we needed in a
• 11:11
  championship role player that every contender could use and
• 11:15
  that we really got. Alex Crusoe.
• 11:17
  I mean, best trade by Sam Crusty.
• 11:20
  He should win executive of the year this upcoming season for
• 11:24
  those trades in those moves. And I believe he will.
• 11:26
  And Alex Russo has to be the guy.
• 11:29
  Like he let us in the playoffs when nothing was going right.
• 11:33
  We'd literally just turn to him in the second-half of games.
• 11:36
  He'd turn around games. And I haven't seen a role player
• 11:41
  like do that in a really long time.
• 11:43
  There's only probably like a lump sum, a guy that you could
• 11:46
  even name that has that ability. So what do you think, Joe?
• 11:50
  Yeah, it's definitely Alex Caruso.
• 11:53
  Every champion has a guy off their bench that come in in the
• 11:58
  NBA Finals and just take over and really excel off the bench.
• 12:02
  And that was Alex Caruso for us. But I'm going to go another
• 12:04
  route just 'cause I knew you were going to go Caruso.
• 12:06
  It's the obvious answer. Go.
• 12:07
  Mckayden Wallace, second year player last year starts in the
• 12:13
  NBA Finals. Like he didn't start in the 1st
• 12:16
  three series and then we were like oh OK, in this match up
• 12:19
  case and you're going to go start and matching up with like
• 12:22
  Pascal Siakam and stuff. Kayson Wallace is is my choice
• 12:27
  here for role player of the year.
• 12:28
  He started early in the regular regular season with injuries.
• 12:31
  Then he got back to the bench and he was injured, then back to
• 12:34
  the bench and starting. Then he ends up starting in the
• 12:36
  NBA Finals and winning a championship.
• 12:39
  And he also dunked on Nicola Yokich.
• 12:40
  So I'm going to go with Kayson Wallace.
• 12:43
  Yeah, can completely agree with him as well.
• 12:46
  I mean, for a guy his age and what he did for us and how
• 12:49
  consistent he was, and we needed him to step up big and he did.
• 12:53
  And to rely on a guy like that. And even this year, he's turned
• 12:56
  into a DPOY candidate, which is crazy.
• 13:00
  So big props to him. Breakout player of the year.
• 13:04
  So this could be from the playoffs or this season as well.
• 13:08
  I'm going to take J Dub. I mean, he took that leap that
• 13:11
  we were hoping for. Big moments and huge games.
• 13:15
  The play making, scoring, versatility.
• 13:17
  He played center a lot of the season.
• 13:19
  And of course that Finals impact.
• 13:21
  I mean, we asked for a secondary player to step up.
• 13:25
  I think we were down to 1 to the Nuggets.
• 13:28
  All hope was lost and out of nowhere, Jalen Williams turns
• 13:32
  into a whole different player. It doesn't matter what happened
• 13:36
  before, what you saw in the regular season, what you saw in
• 13:38
  the playoffs before that moment when we're down to 1, he turned
• 13:43
  into the player that we needed. He channeled his inner Mamba
• 13:47
  mentality. And I know Kobe's his favorite
• 13:51
  player and you know, people can say whatever about that, but he,
• 13:55
  he, he did that. And for a player to channel
• 13:59
  something deeper within themselves and turn into that
• 14:02
  player that you need in that moment and that, you know, that
• 14:05
  player can become. I mean, if I don't mention him,
• 14:08
  it's got to be him. He's the heart and goal for this
• 14:11
  team. It feels like he is that Russell
• 14:15
  Westbrook type of energy. When he dunks or has defensive
• 14:18
  players, defensive plays, he makes the crowd get energized
• 14:22
  and he's got to win this one so. Absolutely.
• 14:26
  You hit it right on the head. It is Jalen Williams for the
• 14:29
  breakout player of the year. The reason why OKC is struggling
• 14:34
  right now and very this second is because J Dub is struggling
• 14:37
  and we know it's because of his wrist and he's still getting
• 14:39
  back into things. But before on the surgery, like
• 14:44
  we said, 40 point game in the finals.
• 14:46
  You mentioned it Game 4 Denver big time performances on the
• 14:50
  road against Minnesota, big time shots first time All Star last
• 14:55
  year, all defensive team like you could.
• 14:58
  The list goes on and on for him last year.
• 14:59
  That's why OKC was so successful last year was able to win the
• 15:02
  finals because they had a number two guy who you could go to
• 15:05
  consistently for the most part in the playoffs after the first
• 15:08
  round and and the first like 3 games of the second round.
• 15:14
  And I want to, I want to interject here, and since I'm
• 15:17
  we're talking so much about this team and we want to bring
• 15:19
  positivity into the discussion. Jillian Williams didn't have a
• 15:24
  conventional offseason. People forget how important that
• 15:27
  is for a player to come in fully healthy and have that training
• 15:31
  that he needs and requires and then ramp up.
• 15:34
  This is his offseason right now. This December, I'm expecting him
• 15:40
  to get into better shape, you know, January, February and then
• 15:43
  going into the offs, that's when he's going to be hitting in full
• 15:46
  cylinder and that's really when we need him.
• 15:48
  So the whole trade J dub or trade chat or whatever, all this
• 15:51
  talk, just get rid of the nonsense and know we have the
• 15:55
  team that we need. It's just a little bit of
• 15:57
  patience from the squad and we're still winning games with
• 16:00
  or without these guys with how much Shay's carrying us.
• 16:02
  But I know he'll be he'll be ready when the moment needs him.
• 16:06
  And you guys got to remember he's coming off a really
• 16:08
  gruesome injury for anyone that knows about it and just wanted
• 16:13
  to point that out. He didn't have a dimensional
• 16:16
  time to, you know, get in shape and all that other stuff.
• 16:18
  So trust me, guys, he will be ready.
• 16:22
  But let's go towards our fan favorite of the year.
• 16:25
  There's an obvious choice here. I'm going to go with the obvious
• 16:28
  choice as I've done the whole video.
• 16:31
  Jaylen Williams, J Will energy guy.
• 16:33
  He gets the charges, he hustles, he has the best bench
• 16:37
  celebrations, He's a big personality.
• 16:39
  He's another glue guy. He feels like the modern day
• 16:42
  Nick Carlson. He's another guy that we could
• 16:46
  say he's the heart and soul. Him and J Dub get along really
• 16:48
  well for a reason and both of these guys are just amazing for
• 16:53
  us. But Jay Will deserves his own
• 16:55
  credit for the teammate that he is.
• 16:57
  He's always smiling. You won't find a happier player
• 17:00
  and he's he's my fan favorite and I know there's so many other
• 17:04
  names we could name. There's so many, so I'm going to
• 17:07
  shout out a player here and it's a the Bring the Thunder podcast.
• 17:10
  Fan favorite from last year is Brandon Carlson.
• 17:12
  I mean, first year on the team, Brandon Carlson steps up, plays
• 17:15
  super well in the regular season.
• 17:17
  Definitely still is a fan favorite.
• 17:19
  But I took a different route just because I knew you were
• 17:21
  going to go J Will. And I don't want to stay
• 17:23
  repetitive here. What was Sam Presti?
• 17:25
  What was Sam Presti? He's the one who brought in all
• 17:29
  this talent, the right coaching, the right players, the right
• 17:32
  people in the organization. And he turned around what was
• 17:36
  looking like. And but like what Aaron Wiggins
• 17:38
  said, the black hole of the NBA to ANBA champion and not only a
• 17:44
  champion, but a team that started off 26 and four to start
• 17:47
  this season. So shout out Sam Presti.
• 17:50
  He is at least my favorite person in the Thunder
• 17:55
  organization as of right now. Oh yeah, for sure.
• 17:58
  I mean, without saying, I don't think any of this is possible in
• 18:02
  the leadership that he has. With the ownership, it starts
• 18:05
  from the top down. So big props to him and we can
• 18:09
  name every player on the team. Every player, yeah, yeah.
• 18:14
  For best clutch performance, what do you got for this one?
• 18:18
  Yeah, I'm going back to it. This is SGA fourth quarter game
• 18:22
  four in Indiana NBA Finals took over.
• 18:26
  We were down the whole game. It was it was a close game, but
• 18:30
  we were down the whole game looking down, looking down the
• 18:33
  barrel of going down three one in the NBA Finals blowing our
• 18:37
  chance SGA comes in takes over. I already mentioned the the
• 18:41
  three pointer from the right wing drives left step back all
• 18:46
  over Naismith to go up I believe and he had it was just him.
• 18:51
  He took over the whole fourth quarter.
• 18:53
  They couldn't stop him no matter what they tried.
• 18:55
  He was not losing that game and 35 point performance on the road
• 19:00
  in game four. I don't think you can get more
• 19:02
  clutch than that. I don't.
• 19:03
  I really don't think you can. Yeah, the clutch performance for
• 19:08
  me is how we turn it around against the Nuggets.
• 19:13
  Honestly, when we're down to 1, we had the most diabolical live
• 19:19
  post game show that was deleted off the face of the planet.
• 19:22
  I went into a crazy fit of rage. I made ridiculous reels about it
• 19:28
  where I had flashbacks to back when we were down to one in the
• 19:32
  Finals and ended up only winning one game against the Miami Heat.
• 19:37
  And for us to turn it around in that second round and turn
• 19:41
  around our history, to be honest, that game for was
• 19:45
  pivotal for my mental health and I believe every one of our
• 19:49
  mental health because nothing else after that would have been
• 19:52
  possible if we hadn't won that game.
• 19:55
  And I know that's when J Dub turned it around and the team
• 20:00
  honestly shocked me for winning that and then going on obviously
• 20:04
  to win the finals. But I thought that was just.
• 20:07
  One of those moments where it was super defining for us and it
• 20:11
  was super clutch. I know the game maybe itself.
• 20:14
  We just clamped down on defense, did what we needed to do.
• 20:17
  And I don't think the rest of the playoffs could be mentioned
• 20:22
  without that one moment because I know where everyone's head was
• 20:26
  at. Yeah.
• 20:28
  And we were in shambles. Down to 1 to the the Joker.
• 20:33
  I mean, come on. Yeah, they showed an extreme
• 20:35
  amount of resiliency that we weren't sure if the team had it
• 20:38
  or not at the time because they haven't proved that yet.
• 20:41
  But I absolutely agree with that as well.
• 20:45
  The main reason I agree with that is we all know it.
• 20:50
  We shouldn't have lost game one. They absolutely blew it.
• 20:53
  So to be down to 1 after blowing, giving one away, we
• 20:59
  were we were in, we were in deep and luckily our defense clamped
• 21:03
  up. And then Lou Dort comes home and
• 21:05
  saves the day at home and we get the job done.
• 21:07
  So yeah, that's that's another another great point for clutch
• 21:11
  moments or moments plural of the year.
• 21:14
  Yeah, and then the best Thunder moment of the year.
• 21:19
  Yeah, so obviously it's winning the NBA championship.
• 21:22
  There's no way around that. But I brought up another one
• 21:25
  just because don't want to see, you know, keep stating the
• 21:28
  obvious here. I went with game seven against
• 21:31
  Denver, Game seven against Denver, hard series, long
• 21:35
  series. Come home.
• 21:37
  It's a day game. I hate day games.
• 21:39
  I just think like everything's off during day games.
• 21:42
  Denver started off hot and then it was over.
• 21:46
  Thunder went on a roll. It was probably the best
• 21:49
  feeling. It was just like a sigh of
• 21:51
  relief. That series was so brutal.
• 21:53
  Watching Jokic, she was dominating, but just knowing
• 21:56
  that he was going to go to the line over and over and he's
• 21:58
  tackling our players and he's getting the foul calls and he's
• 22:01
  jumping on Jay Will's back and getting a foul call just to be
• 22:04
  over and done with that series and not, you know, we didn't
• 22:08
  have to watch the whole game seven.
• 22:10
  Obviously we did it. But I mean like as I'm like we
• 22:13
  won the game in the second quarter.
• 22:14
  It was already done. You can just take a big deep
• 22:17
  breath, sigh of relief. I'm going to shout out that
• 22:20
  game. I think that that game made me
• 22:21
  feel really good about where the Thunder were and I was just so
• 22:24
  happy to be done with that series and and moving on to the
• 22:27
  Western Conference. Finals I can confidently say Joe
• 22:31
  legit had a sigh of relief after that game 'cause that series was
• 22:35
  mentally brutal for all of us. Like I don't know how the
• 22:38
  players got through that one and the resilience they showed.
• 22:42
  It gives me a lot more like now that we've had a run, we're
• 22:46
  we're older now and can really watch the games the way we do.
• 22:50
  Yeah, that was a huge moment. The other one that I want to
• 22:52
  mention, obviously winning the championship is the key moment
• 22:56
  here. Confetti falling, Shay holding
• 22:58
  the trophy, giving Jada the props.
• 23:00
  And, you know, Chet after that, you know, received his ring,
• 23:04
  showed off his ring later on in the season.
• 23:06
  But that moment created another very famous moment for us, and
• 23:11
  that was the Aaron Wiggins speech, speech I've ever heard
• 23:16
  in my entire life. The most hype I've ever been.
• 23:18
  I mean, legit just going crazy listening to it when it was
• 23:24
  happening in real time. I was just so hype.
• 23:26
  And I think that brought a fan favorite moment for us.
• 23:30
  And so with the championship came a bunch of other moments.
• 23:34
  And you know, the Thunder, we're on the top of the world for
• 23:37
  once. And that feeling is going to be
• 23:40
  just forever for us. And that really concludes all
• 23:43
  our awards. I mean, that's the history.
• 23:45
