America’s NBA team is playing Tuesday night in Las Vegas. I’m convinced the reason you don’t know them as America’s Team is because they haven’t been properly marketed. I just don’t see any other plausible reason.
I’m talking about the Oklahoma City Thunder. The same team that was somehow not selected among the 10 headliners to play on Christmas Day. The same team that is scheduled to be on national TV fewer times this season than the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Oklahoma City Thunder — a finalist in the NBA Cup championship game — should be an American sensation, yet it feels like they're preposterously underexposed.
