Dear "The Brody,"
So let's get down to it- the Thunder's season isn't ideal this year. Injury after injury has plagued the team and the obvious news from this summer looms over Oklahoma City like a storm cell (pun intended).
You, however, have kept the faith.
Fans still pour into the 'Peake to witness the heart and soul that you and your teammates lay out on the floor every night. Millions across the globe tune in to make sure they don't miss out on the history you're making, and sports analysts can't get enough of the get-out responses you give to the media.
If my sources are correct (see "Google"), your triple-double count has reached 24. The closest number to you at the moment is James Harden's 14.
Yours is the fifth-most sought after NBA jersey in the nation, but I'd wager that it's by far the highest-selling jersey out of all teams in Oklahoma itself.
The fan base has adopted your me-against-the-world mentality. When somebody wrongs one person in the Thunder community- players, coaches, fans- they wrong the whole dang village. That comes with the small-town feel that which Oklahomans are so familiar and the sometimes overwhelming love that we show you and your teammates.
I think I speak for all of us when I ask you to never grow bored of us.
You are our golden child- our prized possession. You motor the whole city! Without the Thunder organization, Oklahoma City would still be the same five-street cow town that we knew 15 years ago.
We will always be here to root for you.
Please, never grow weary of Oklahoma City.
Sincerely,
The Fam
