One of my NBA group chats has an Oklahoma City Thunder fan in it, and we tend to go at each other with regularity. To their credit, bandwagon Thunder fans do not exist. Nobody decides to root for a small market team, especially one who has choked as bad as OKC. Their fans are die-hard. They tend to be knowledgeable and overly optimistic. And why not? All they have known is a success. Well, until recently, when the franchise finally embraced a full-rebuild and compiled the most extraordinary cache of draft picks in NBA history. Plus, they have one of the best young cores in the NBA and are managed by one of the brightest GMs in the game.
