The Oklahoma City Thunder dominated the regular season and now
enter the playoffs as one of the favorites to win the West thanks
to MVP candidate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. For nearly two decades,
the Thunder have been one of the unlikeliest success stories in NBA
history. In the win-now-at-all-costs superteam era, the Thunder
have prioritized building for the future. In the era of superstars
dictating their own moves to major media markets, the Thunder have
thrived in one of the smallest markets in pro sports. In
Blood and Thunder, a special feature from the Ringer Podcast
Network, Brian Phillips is joined by his fellow Oklahoma native
Tyler Parker to talk about where the Thunder have been and where
they’re going, why this year’s team is so fun to watch, and what
the franchise means to Oklahoma. We’re also joined by Jordan Ritter
Conn, the host of the podcast Sonic Boom: How Seattle Lost Its
Team, to talk about the legacy of the team’s move from Seattle and
whether a new Sonics franchise could help put the ghosts of the
past to rest. Host: Brian Phillips Guests: Tyler Parker and Jordan
Ritter Conn Producers: Mike Wargon, Isaac Levy-Rubinett and Vikram
