Steve Nash: “My favorite for MVP is Shai.” LeBron James: “For him to play on the perimeter as much as he does, playing midrange as much as he does and still be as super efficient as he is. It’s Jordan-esque.” (Mind the Game)

Cool Thunder crowd/Russell Westbrook moment. In 2011, Westbrook was an emerging superstar but had been struggling. Criticism started coming from all corners. Except in OKC. Westbrook went to the free throw line and a “Russ-ell!” chant broke out.

Sam Presti discussing the NBA aprons: highly recommended viewing. “It’s giving everybody the same opportunity to make a choice to push in and spend aggressively if they feel they have a team that warrants that. But not everyone can do that, but the choice is there.”

SVP addresses his comments on SGA: “…that bothered me. Cause I did say ‘he’s not fun to watch, I don’t like watching him play.’ Well that’s not the way I feel. Because he’s great. He’s a basketball genius.” Good follow up conversation from SVP. Worth a full watch. (SVPod)

SGA telling the story of Sam Presti giving him The Tortoise and the Hare book during his Sportsman of the Year speech is a must watch. "I'll never forget when I first arrived at OKC and you gave me the book The Tortoise and the Hare. You explained to me the meaning behind it and I’d be lying if I said I hoped I didn’t need it at the time. And boy were the next few years very, very rough. I think we won 25 games one of the following seasons and that was a lot. Eventually, when we started to weather the storm, I revisited that story and I started to see how it relates to my own path and our own path. This past season, when we won the championship he gave me a statue of the tortoise, and that's a very Sam Presti way of saying 'I told you so.' I keep that beside my championship ring, my MVP trophy, and thank you for that." (Sports Illustrated)

Brian Windhorst on OKC: “I spent the whole season listening to people in the NBA, a lot of it off the record, disrespecting this team, not believing in this team. I don’t know how you could watch these last couple of weeks and not understand this team is a serious problem going forward.” (NBA on ESPN)

So either.. An MVP voter doesn’t know OKC’s All-NBA forward has been out the last 4 playoff games.. or he’s getting JDub & JWill mixed up 4 seasons, 3 playoff runs and 1 championship into their careers.. or he’s analyzing a game he obviously didn’t watch.
