'Bring the Thunder': Local artist paints murals for OKC send-off to NBA restart

Two murals, eight feet tall and 16 feet wide, lined a concrete path at Will Rogers World Airport when the Thunder’s bus pulled up Wednesday afternoon.

“Bring the Thunder” and “OKC in ORL” were spray painted in graffiti-style bubble letters on propped-up plywood panels.

The murals were quite literally the last signs of Oklahoma City before Thunder players boarded their flight to Orlando for the season restart. The Thunder entered the NBA bubble Wednesday night and practiced for the first time Friday. Their level of play will determine how long of a stay it will be.

Zach Junker, a diehard Thunder fan, will be tuned into every game when the team resumes its season Aug.
