In what can only be described as a coup of the Australian NBL, three teams will travel from Australia to take on some NBA teams this preseason. The Thunder have agreed to play Melbourne United, joining the Utah Jazz and Phoenix Suns as NBA hosts.
Oh the torn loyalties for me. I was lucky enough to grow up watching the Melbourne Tigers, the team which preceded the new look Melbourne United outfit. I am also a loyal and passionate OKC Thunder fan.
When two worlds collide…
Now, fortunately, I do not have to describe to any OKC Thunder fan what they are going to get from a Russell Westbrook-led team.
