Both Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Darius Bazley have referred to themselves as the “Fresh Prince” on the Thunder roster over the last few months. Who truly holds the crown? Olivia Panchal and Brandon Rahbar square off.
When making the case for the one, true Fresh Prince of OKC, the evidence in favor of Darius Bazley dates back to 1984 (sixteen years before Bazley was even born). Prior to being drafted by the Thunder in June, Bazley withdrew his commitment to play college basketball at Syracuse and instead opted for a one-year, $1 million internship at New Balance – one of the most iconic brands of the 80s and 90s.
