Thunder has one glaring shortcoming
The Thunder has supplied some of the best highlights in the NBA this season.
Russell Westbrook’s dunk over Shane Battier at Houston; Westbrook’s follow dunk at New Jersey; Kevin Durant’s game-opening dunk against Minnesota; Serge Ibaka’s ally-oop from Eric Maynor against San Antonio; Jeff Green’s block of a Chris Paul layup; James Harden’s coast-to-coast, tomahawk dunk against Cleveland with a Cheshire Cat smile finish; Cole Aldrich’s first two points as a pro.
All these vintage possibilities, yet the pregame highlight video contains footage of players inside the practice facility. Nine shopping days until Christmas and we’re still watching scenes from training camp in September? Seriously? Many NBA teams update their pregame video weekly. Some update it more frequently than that, if it’s warranted.
The Thunder video is archaic and its fans deserve better. When your players offer some of the best highlights in the league, your pregame video also should rank among the elite.
It’s time to overhaul the Thunder’s pregame video, which could be unwrapped on Christmas Day against Denver. Here are a few suggested clips:
