A Brief Thought for a Couple of Oklahoma City Thunder Fans Dad & I Met in NYC

The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the NBA Final 103-91 to win their first NBA Title since 1979 when they were known as the Seattle Super Sonics. 

On Friday afternoon while Dad and I were on NYC's High Line we ended up sitting down a bench overlooking the corner of 10th Avenue and West 28th Street. Dad began speaking to a brother and sister visiting the city who soon informed us they were from Oklahoma City. I asked them if they were looking forward to Game 7. The brother said he had wished they had won Game 6 but were confident of the Thunder's chances in Game 7. I wished their team luck and hope their city would enjoy a championship parade.

Now had we run into a brother and sister from Indianapolis, I would have wished them the same luck. But as it happened, we crossed paths with folks from Oklahoma. I hope they get back in time to partake in the parade. From this day forward, when I think of the Oklahoma City Thunder's NBA Title, I shall always think of this brother and sister.
