Oklahoma City Blue gives players a shot at the Thunder

Oklahoma City has become a basketball town. From the billboards featuring superstar athletes Russell Westbrook and Steven Adams to the monumental Thunder flag flying high above Bricktown, it's obvious this city loves its NBA team.

What many fans may not know, however, is that Oklahoma City is also home to an NBA Development League franchise, the Oklahoma City Blue. The roster is a unique blend of experienced veterans and young, stashed draft picks all trying to reach the NBA.

Tomislav Zubcic, or Zuba as he is affectionately known to his teammates, is one such player trying his hand at earning a shot to play in the NBA.
