    How did you come up with that? Multiple players have said Westbrook is a great mentor. One in particular plays for the Blazers currently.

    Makes sense... Those are the largest and wealthiest markets and half of the teams in the conference come from ome of those states...

    Somebody tell Westbrook that the guy he beefed with at subway is actually his #1 fan.

    This will be seventh consecutive year without repeat NBA champion, longest stretch in NBA history. And only one team from major market city.

    Knicks won.last title in 1973, while we were watching Watergate hearings. Pacers won ABA title same year. Forerunner of Thunder, Seattle Super Sonics, won title in 1978, when yours truly was completing undergrad studies at University of Washington. Timberwolves entered league in 1989, along with Orlando, and have never been to NBA Finals.

    Anyone but OKC. I still don’t like how Seattle lost the Sonics. I really miss that franchise.

    Plus, their jerseys and logo are ugly and they have a ton of draft picks. Call me jealous, but whatever.

    I'm a Duck & Blazer fan so I've been imprinted to hate all things Seattle. Doesn't help that the Seahawks' broadcasts almost always pre-empt better games each week and have for years.

    anyway, it doesn't bother me that the Sonics moved to OKC; and I like well run organizations; OKC is certainly well run. Also, 48 years ago I got a speeding ticket on I-5 in Seattle on my way to see a girl friend in Bellingham...so fuck Seattle!
