The Oklahoma City Thunder makes their first-ever NBA Finals appearance in more than 10 years. That’s right; after a long wait from 2012, the Thunder have danced their way back into the most glamorous jazz in basketball. They are the Western Conference champions, and now the hype is truly real.
Fully, the internet had a swirl. A barrage of harassment descended on Jalen Williams for the in-game 2K model, one user lamented, “Why does Jdub look like that 😭😭😭?” Another user was saying that the game was unfinished when the Thunder’s conference win had just been announced; “Damn the game not even over yet,” with the other adding jokingly, “Game ain’t even finished 🙏🙏😭.”
Then came the doubters. Someone “would love” for the Thunder to be “get destroyed by the Pacers,” starting a whole argument in the replies. “29-1 vs East this year. Again, 29-1 vs east,” was the reply stating stats. Says a lot.
NBA 2K25 bashing came next, with one player ranting about the servers being disabled for Xbox One thus wiping out MyCareer. “Thinking about getting rid of my 2K games bcuz I love playing the career modes,” he stated. Ouch. Then came a guy who just simply wants a locker code. Priorities, eh?
The Thunder’s road to the Finals, punctuated with dramatics, awaits the crowning moment. It is time to talk: Are you hyped? Are you doubting? Or are you just here for the memes? And maybe the boys at 2K might finally get that Jalen Williams scan done- there’s always hope.
So, the Thunder are back in the Finals. Will the trophy join their ranks, though? Time will tell. For now, it’s a celebration for the people of Oklahoma City and an ominous warning to the rest of the NBA.
