  You're listening to the Bring the Thunder Podcast, a podcast
• 0:07
  by fans, for fans. Yes, you are welcome everybody
• 0:12
  to another episode from the Bring the Thunder podcast.
• 0:15
  We have myself, Gabe, we got Jack here today.
• 0:18
  We're doing the friendship test, which was recommended by someone
• 0:22
  in one of our live streams. They mentioned a comment saying
• 0:24
  that we've been doing this together for a while.
• 0:26
  We've been on this podcast for quite some time.
• 0:28
  So basically what we've done is we got a list of questions that
• 0:30
  are Thunder related. I'm trying to guess what Jack
• 0:33
  would answer, Jack trying to guess what I would answer.
• 0:35
  And we will see how well we know each other.
• 0:37
  So I mean, yeah, that kind of just the premise of this one.
• 0:41
  We got some good questions here, some good, good answers for
• 0:44
  sure. So let's just dive right into
• 0:45
  it, Jack, if you're ready. I'm ready.
• 0:48
  All right, first up, we have favorite Thunder player ever.
• 0:52
  The way this is going to work, we're going to alternate.
• 0:53
  So I'm going to guess Gabe's first.
• 0:55
  He's going to guess mine, then he's going to guess mine for the
• 0:57
  next question. So Gabe's favorite Thunder
• 1:00
  player ever is Paul George. Man, I'm already going to say
• 1:07
  no. It's for us.
• 1:10
  I talk about Paul George. More.
• 1:12
  I talk about Paul George more than I talk about Ross because
• 1:14
  for me, it's just like, it's for us.
• 1:16
  But like, isn't Paul George? No, it's Ross.
• 1:19
  It's Ross. But I'll give you half a point.
• 1:21
  Yours is Steven Adams, right? Yeah.
• 1:24
  One point I was going to say, OK, all right, next right.
• 1:31
  Favorite current Thunder player? See, I'll let you go first.
• 1:37
  We'll, we'll, I'll start, OK. I feel like yours has got to be
• 1:40
  Wiggins. Yeah, you are on 2 points.
• 1:44
  OK, let's. Go big.
• 1:48
  Could be Shay, could be dub. I don't think it is dub.
• 1:55
  Favorite current I'm going Shay. It is Shay.
• 1:58
  Good, good. You got it down to the Shay and
• 2:00
  Dub. It was easily one of those two,
• 2:02
  but yeah, you got it. You got to go Shay, you got to
• 2:04
  go Shay. But I your Wiggins pick was,
• 2:06
  yeah, that's a good one. Bread and butter.
• 2:08
  Yeah. All right.
• 2:10
  Favorite current Thunder Jersey out of the four options?
• 2:13
  Orange, white, blue city. Let me think.
• 2:19
  Everyone hates orange, so I'm going to eliminate that.
• 2:22
  I'm between I'm, I'm just going to say blue.
• 2:25
  You have it up on your wall right behind you.
• 2:27
  I'm going with the blue. It is blue.
• 2:30
  It is in fact blue. Nothing wrong with good old
• 2:32
  blue. Another point.
• 2:34
  Oh man, for you, like you said, everyone hates orange.
• 2:36
  I I'll disagree with you there. Would it be?
• 2:40
  I don't think it's going to be city.
• 2:42
  I feel like you could have just gone blue too.
• 2:43
  It's just, it's just classic. But the White's good too because
• 2:46
  you can get a sign. But I see more Blues.
• 2:48
  I'm going to go with blue. I write down the city Jazzy.
• 2:52
  I'm really a big fan of the City Jazzy, so should.
• 2:55
  Not have counted those out, they are super nice.
• 2:58
  I already bought 1 so that's fair right?
• 3:03
  What do we have next? The a former Thunder player, you
• 3:06
  would add, who isn't currently in the league for this team.
• 3:09
  Now this, this is a hard one. This is a hard. 1.
• 3:15
  Do you want to go first? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 3:16
  I'm thinking so like if you like the easy answer in terms of like
• 3:20
  going back to who you would like would be Steven Adams.
• 3:22
  But I feel like Steven Adams wouldn't make sense on this
• 3:25
  team. And there's a section called
• 3:28
  current former Thunder players, so it could be Steven there.
• 3:31
  So if we're talking about a guy who's no longer on the team, I'm
• 3:36
  going to go. With with their prime, yeah, if
• 3:38
  that makes sense. In their prime, yeah.
• 3:43
  This is tough because it depends how you thought about this.
• 3:46
  If you thought about it like breaking down how it would work
• 3:48
  with the roster, I don't think you would have gone I.
• 3:51
  I did. That's the way I thought about
• 3:53
  it. So good.
• 3:54
  So I'm thinking maybe more of like a really good role player
• 3:57
  here, someone who I'm going to go, I'm going to go Dion
• 4:02
  Waiters. Solid guest up and down.
• 4:05
  Sergey Barker, just thinking about, I think he would be the
• 4:09
  perfect pairing with Chet Hongren.
• 4:12
  I could not even have him that, but all right.
• 4:15
  Dude now dude, Serge and Chet, no one would ever score.
• 4:19
  No, All right, now I got to how did you interpret this question?
• 4:25
  OK, I, I definitely thought about it in the sense of how
• 4:28
  would this person fit with our team.
• 4:29
  But I'll give you a little bit of a hint.
• 4:31
  It's it's less about their actual play and more about what
• 4:34
  I think they would bring in terms of like helping the team
• 4:37
  off the court. It it's more of a personality
• 4:39
  thing. I'm going to go Nick Carlson.
• 4:43
  That was a really good hit. Yeah, it's Nick Gallison.
• 4:46
  Yeah, I mean, the hit definitely out.
• 4:47
  Yeah, yeah, that was a big hit. But yeah, Mr. Thunder, I, I, I
• 4:51
  feel like our team is so good, I'd be afraid to mess with it by
• 4:53
  adding somebody. So if we just had Nick Chilling
• 4:55
  on the bench, I'd be like, yeah, this is good.
• 4:58
  Fair enough. All right, Next up, former
• 5:00
  current Thunder players to add to this team, someone who's
• 5:04
  active in the league that you would add?
• 5:07
  Steven Adams for you, right? Yeah.
• 5:09
  Nice. A bit of rebounding, get a bit
• 5:12
  of bench energy, you know, like, like you said, Olson.
• 5:16
  So now I'm I'm going to say Russ, and my reasoning is that
• 5:29
  you've just wanted to retire with us.
• 5:33
  You should get like an extra point for that one.
• 5:35
  That is exactly why I went with Ross.
• 5:37
  I don't even care if he plays. Just just have one on the
• 5:40
  roster. So yeah, that's that's that's
• 5:42
  the correct answer. Fair enough.
• 5:45
  Least favorite current player? This is a hard one.
• 5:50
  This is a really hard one. I'll let you go first.
• 5:53
  I'll be shocked if you get this. I'm not going to lie, I'm.
• 5:57
  Trying to think. Oh man, I feel like OK, yeah,
• 6:03
  never mind. You got this.
• 6:09
  If we don't really have any unlikable players, this is no
• 6:11
  problem. It's a tough.
• 6:12
  One, it's a really tough one. I had to think about my answer
• 6:14
  for this one for like 5 minutes. I'm going to go with Peyton
• 6:18
  Sanford because I know he went to the other Iowa school.
• 6:22
  You want a snipe? Yes, it is Peyton Sanford.
• 6:25
  That is incredible. I cannot believe you just pulled
• 6:27
  that. Yes, it's Peyton Sanford.
• 6:30
  Exactly what you just said. He's from Iowa.
• 6:33
  I actually like he's actually a solid guy.
• 6:35
  He's been through some health issues and like I'm glad he's
• 6:38
  doing good, but I was like, if I had to pick someone, you got to
• 6:41
  pick the Iowa alumni. That's crazy.
• 6:44
  What a snipe for you. Oh man, I'm just going to.
• 6:51
  I'm just going to go with Kenny. I just feel like he's just
• 6:53
  there. I also went to the Panthers
• 6:56
  Sandford because. Oh no.
• 6:58
  Most most recent? Irrelevant.
• 7:01
  Kind of. Player that's fair.
• 7:02
  I like I like your answer. Don't get me wrong, I like Kenny
• 7:05
  too, don't get me wrong either, but it just felt like if I had
• 7:07
  to pick someone that was just there.
• 7:10
  For sure, this one is maybe more of a throwaway.
• 7:14
  I think it should be pretty easy.
• 7:16
  Favorite piece of memorabilia? So obviously I'm going to go to
• 7:20
  the sign. Shay Jersey sitting behind your
• 7:21
  head. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
• 7:23
  And I'm going to, I'm going to go with the Wiggins sign jersey
• 7:26
  that he personally signed on your bag.
• 7:29
  You'd be correct. I think that had to be the end
• 7:31
  of. All right, now the most
• 7:34
  underrated current player. This is a tough one for you, I
• 7:40
  feel like. I feel like you could have gone
• 7:43
  Wiggins just because his minutes have been, have been going down
• 7:47
  and he's not been, you know, I'm not even going to question.
• 7:48
  I'm just going Wiggins. Right.
• 7:52
  Sorry, but I put AJ Mitchell. That's fair, That's fair.
• 7:57
  I'm going to say you were big on this guy when he first came back
• 8:03
  and we were having 3 point shooting troubles and you were
• 8:06
  always saying no, it doesn't matter because Isaiah Joe is
• 8:08
  going to come back. And when he came back it fixed
• 8:11
  for a little bit. So let me say Isaiah Joe.
• 8:15
  You listen well, Jack, you listen well.
• 8:17
  It is Isaiah and Joe. Other than that, I don't think
• 8:20
  we have underrated. Like I the way that I was
• 8:22
  thinking about it is like I hear OK C fans rating our players.
• 8:27
  So like fairly let I disagree. But like Isaiah and Joe, I've
• 8:30
  seen some people were so low on him for a while.
• 8:33
  Like we remember there were people commenting on our video
• 8:35
  saying like that Joe is just not that good anymore and we should
• 8:38
  trade Joe. I don't know.
• 8:40
  I can't get behind that. I love I was I I, I love Isaiah
• 8:42
  Joe so deeply. Fair enough, just a great player
• 8:45
  I guess. I guess we're true friends.
• 8:47
  And Gabe, 'cause I think. We did good.
• 8:49
  I think we did good. Here let's.
• 8:51
  Should we go through this and give our thoughts on what Joe
• 8:54
  and Savier would pick just to? I like that.
• 8:57
  I like that. OK, alright.
• 8:59
  Let's start with favorite type of player ever for Joe.
• 9:02
  I think Russell Westbrook for. Yeah, I think it's got to be
• 9:05
  Russell Westbrook. Got to be, yeah.
• 9:08
  I would agree for both as well. We know it's savier.
• 9:09
  Yeah, yeah, All right. Current I'm savier, I'm saying
• 9:14
  is Shay. Yes.
• 9:17
  For sure, Joe Take Joe's it came up in it came up in a in an
• 9:21
  episode the other day. I feel like it's got to be Shay
• 9:24
  with how good he's been recently.
• 9:26
  I feel like Joe's been so high. I mean, it's impossible.
• 9:29
  Not to be, but the thing with Joe is he changes his favorite
• 9:31
  player every week and it was Jared McCain for a slight point.
• 9:34
  And it was. I say Joe for a slight point,
• 9:36
  Jared. McCain is crazy this early?
• 9:38
  Yeah. I don't know.
• 9:42
  This week do. We.
• 9:46
  Go, it's got to be Shay, Shay, Shay.
• 9:47
  It's got to be Shay after after that game, right?
• 9:49
  I think he's back on the OK. Yeah, the ranking fluctuates.
• 9:53
  It does fluctuate. We'll stick with Shay though.
• 9:56
  Stick with Shay, all right? Favorite jerseys for both of
• 9:59
  them. Set for the White 1 maybe?
• 10:06
  I feel like Savier would like the white one.
• 10:07
  I think I've seen him wearing a white one before.
• 10:09
  Like I feel like he would just think it's real ethical.
• 10:12
  It's just a good looking jersey. I don't know what that means,
• 10:14
  but Joe. Joe has a white BTT jersey.
• 10:19
  He. Does, but he does.
• 10:20
  For the purpose of getting signed.
• 10:22
  So I I agree. So I don't know.
• 10:23
  I don't. Would Joe.
• 10:26
  Has Joe ever wore a jersey? I don't think he wears jerseys,
• 10:30
  but I feel like if you, I don't know, I think he's either blue
• 10:32
  or city. I mean, we know he's not orange.
• 10:34
  No one. No one's orange.
• 10:35
  We'll go. We'll go with Blue.
• 10:37
  OK, I could see him just being a good old fashioned a a blue
• 10:40
  jersey guy. Yeah, a former player each would
• 10:44
  add. Wow, OK.
• 10:48
  Definitely hard. That's really hard.
• 10:53
  Kind of feel like Joe would agree with you with Ibaka, Like
• 10:56
  Joe would have brought up Surge. It just feels like a Joe.
• 10:59
  And either that or he would have pulled something just out out of
• 11:02
  left field, like, yeah, something ridiculous.
• 11:06
  Set here. Maybe Anthony Morrow?
• 11:12
  Anthony Yeah, I could. I could see that.
• 11:15
  I could definitely see Savor going to Anthony Morrow.
• 11:17
  I'm going to agree with you there.
• 11:19
  That's a good one. That's a really good one.
• 11:22
  Former plan to add who's still playing in the league?
• 11:27
  Savir's going, Ross, the same reason I did, yeah.
• 11:30
  That's just for retirement purposes.
• 11:33
  Joe, though. Oh man, does Joe go Kevin
• 11:39
  Durant? Is there a world where Joe
• 11:42
  thinks bringing Kevin Durant back is like. 100% and I see, I
• 11:45
  see the the argument is who's stopping Shay and KD?
• 11:50
  It's the way he argues about if we trade it for Giannis, it's
• 11:52
  the same thing. Yeah.
• 11:54
  OK, KD. And you bring up anything he
• 11:58
  says, it doesn't matter, we need KD.
• 11:59
  Yeah, it doesn't matter. We have to have a grant.
• 12:02
  Yeah, exactly. All right.
• 12:04
  Least favorite current player for both?
• 12:07
  Oh wow. Do we just go Payton Sanford?
• 12:11
  I think the whole panel should just say Payton Sanford.
• 12:14
  No offense to the guy at all. I know I love the guy.
• 12:17
  He's he's, he's a great guy. He just unfortunately attended
• 12:20
  the wrong. College, OK.
• 12:25
  Each of their favorite memorabilia pieces sat there
• 12:27
  would be his shade sign jersey. Yes, and Joe has an AJ Mitchell
• 12:32
  signed cap. OK, I was going to say, does Joe
• 12:34
  even? Know from when I when we went to
• 12:36
  OK see you so although we didn't get his BTT Jersey science so.
• 12:40
  Did he really? Who signed it?
• 12:41
  And now he didn't. Oh, he didn't get a sign.
• 12:43
  I think he said he did. He saw it.
• 12:45
  Unfortunate. Yeah.
• 12:49
  And then most underrated for both.
• 12:52
  Oh, why do I feel like Savor would say Chet?
• 12:58
  Definitely Savor would find a way to say that Chet Holmes is
• 13:01
  underrated right now. Yeah, OK.
• 13:03
  Lock that in and then Joe. Man, Joe would say a lot of guys
• 13:07
  are underrated. Yeah, Queso maybe.
• 13:13
  I would say either Cason or maybe agree with he might agree
• 13:16
  with you and also go AJ because he's so high on AJ like he's so
• 13:19
  high on AJ. I saw I saw a post today which
• 13:23
  not to get off topic here but someone was talking about how
• 13:25
  much AJ is reminding them of a young James Harden and OKC and
• 13:29
  that's really an interesting comp.
• 13:31
  I mean I don't know if the skill wise is like the same type of
• 13:34
  skills but I think a JS a lot better than than Harden was at
• 13:38
  that age. But I don't know we'll see.
• 13:40
  I hope AJ doesn't turn into a star that we lose, but you never
• 13:44
  know. He can turn into it the next
• 13:47
  three years at least because we got him for three years, 3 mil
• 13:50
  so. Yeah, I agree.
• 13:51
  I agree. We'll take it for sure.
• 13:55
  Yeah. All right, Well, I think we will
• 13:57
  end it there. But please, guys, let us know in
• 13:59
  the comments what are some of your favorites of those
• 14:01
  categories, Favorite players, favorite jerseys, Who's a player
