And the Thunder Rolls....

We went to the basketball game on Thursday when
Oklahoma City Thunder played San Antonio Spurs.

It was LOUD.....It was CROWDED..... It was FUN. 
Thunder along with the cheerleaders were there to entertain us.
Shaq/ Shaquille O'Neal was there for the halftime broadcasting.
Can you tell we were at the right place at the right time.
Charles Barkley was also there.  
 Yes we were close.  I took both of these guys pictures from my seat.
Here he is showing off his ostrich/alligator cowboy boots, complete with his initials on them, 
given to him by our Governor.  They were valued at $1500.  Apparently he was asked if he would prefer to live in Oklahoma City or San Antonio.....he chose OKC and that hasn't gone over well with
 San Antonio's mayor. 
At half time there was a bike show.
 Sorry they are kind of blurry, but he wouldn't  hold still and I was too far away.
Oh, and did I mention there was a basketball game as well.
AND THUNDER WON!!!!
Final Score 82 to 102. 

Thanks for visiting my part of THUNDER Country,
Jana

    Hi Jana, that first photo is stunning and I think that your description was spot-on! As a coincidence, I heard a program on public radio today talking about the owner of the Thunder and how his investment in the city's team has been an enormous benefit in so many ways.

    Thank you for visiting my blog today and I hope that you will stop in from time-to-time.

    Bises,
    Genie

      Hi Genie, I love getting to know new people thru blogging. Yes the Thunder has brought a lot of benefits to our state and I think Oklahoma people can be very passionate about our sports. Thanks so much for the visit and I look forward to stopping by your blog.

    Although I don't follow sports at all, this does look like fun.

    Sorry, Tyler is in the 2nd photo. I guess if you bad mouth a City for the whole season you get great boots and steak!

      Ya I heard he said OK was a "wasteland" and then I heard he said he would pick here to live? Not sure why the change if there really was one??? Also Randy thinks it looks like Tyler also.
