It is no secret that the Oklahoma City Thunder The Thunder are on the rise in the NBA world. With their slick play and boundless energy, they’re attracting all sorts of attention. But with that attention comes jealousy and negativity.
In a recent podcast known as The shiftThe topic of conversation revolved around the Memphis Grizzlies’ schedule, and when podcast members and guests saw the Thunder on the schedule, they gave some very interesting perspectives on the game and the team as a whole:
“I guess Oklahoma City will be the one that [the Grizzlies] They’re going to continue this year because they feel like Oklahoma City literally just stole all their flow,” Chris Vernona member of the media Grind City Media “Like doing interviews with the whole team after games and all that kind of stuff.”
Vernon then explained that the Grizzlies, led by Ja Morant, were conducting group interviews in 2022 and before being popularized by the OKC Thunder.

Last season, the Grizzlies were the ninth youngest team in the NBA and went 27-55 (with numerous injuries throughout the season). The Thunder, meanwhile, were ranked second and finished first in the West with a 57-25 record.
Fans and media personalities can talk about who stole what and other hypotheses, but at the end of the day, these are two energetic, high-octane teams that are bringing a new style to the National Basketball Association.
