The Thunder is the only game in town, but that’s enough to make Oklahoma City one of the best basketball cities in America.
That’s according to a study by WalletHub.com, a personal finance site that examined NBA and college programs using a 21-metric methodology — including winning percentage over the past three seasons, NBA franchise value and fan engagement — to rank the best U.S. cities for basketball fans.
Oklahoma City ranked seventh overall and fifth in the NBA ranking. It was tied for last place among 290 cities in the college basketball ranking.
