4 years, $48 million. That's the contract that was given to big man Serge Ibaka this past summer. Some loved the deal at the time, others hated it. It did seem kinda strange to sign him to a max contract when you still had to sign James Harden to one but the great Sam Presti is a genius. There is no way he's not going to be able to sign James
I think we all saw what happened last night. The Spurs defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder on a game winning shot by Tony Parker. Game over. Everybody on Oklahoma City played terribly and Scott Brooks drew up one of the worst final plays I've ever seen. Everybody just kind of stood around and waited for Kevin Durant to make his cut and then
IT'S BACK! IT'S BACK! THE NBA IS BACK! Well kinda sorta. Training camps are starting up right about now and Pre-Season games start next week. I'm here to tell you what you should be looking for this Pre-Season/Training Camp in your team and players and if you should bother watching it in the first place. Always remember though you can't gather

With the extension of Serge Ibaka, the Thunder now have three of their four key players locked up long-term.
The deal is reportedly worth $48 million over four years.

The stage has been set. The actors have all been in place. Story lines written with a flare for the dramatic. We all know about LeBron vs. Durant. We know about the Big 3!...both of them. Some say they cancel each other out. I disagree. They are different in so many ways, that I don't exactly see them having that sort of effect on each
Congratulations to the Oklahoma City Thunder, who tied up their Western Conference Finals match-up at two a piece tonight. A special shout out to the bigs from OKC as they were able to hold off San Antonio just long enough for Kevin Durant to come along in the fourth and explode for 18 points in the closing 7 minutes. The combination though,
The game was far from beautiful. It featured atrocious shooting from both Boston and Philadelphia. No one player stood out as the heroic savior of a game seven...until Paul Pierce (on a questionable charging call) fouled out with just over four minutes left in the game. It was at that point, that a savior stood up in Boston. It was at

This is definitely the coolest sports-related party figure I've ever seen.
Via Bro Bible comes a video tour of the coolest beer pong table to grace the internet, and it happens to be Thunder-themed.
The table even has an automatic ball washer as you will see, along with LED lights and a sick sound system. I'm sure one of the Thunder players
It seems fast since the 2011-12 NBA season just started a little over a month ago, but thanks to a condensed season the 2012 NBA All-Star starters were announced today.
The city of Los Angeles is the home to four of the Western Conferences' starters as Kobe Bryant and Andrew Bynum represent the Lakers and Chris Paul and Blake Griffin represent
Kevin Durant makes loud booming statements many times throughout an NBA season whether it's with a thunder dunk, defensive stop or a buzzer beater.
This time he is starting out early as he drilled a last second 3-pointer to give the Oklahoma City Thunder a 104-102 victory against the winless Dallas Mavericks.
Oklahoma City had a five point
