Oklahoma City's unwavering fans finally get to celebrate a championship after suffering through several close calls and heartbreaking moments the past two decades.
-
The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Indiana Pacers on Sunday to clinch the NBA title, and the city was holding a parade on Tuesday to honor its first major professional championship. Finals MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, All-Star Jalen Williams and their teammates will pass through downtown for an event that is scheduled to last 90 minutes.
Oklahoma City first hosted an NBA team during the 2005-06 season, when the New Orleans Hornets temporarily relocated after Hurricane Katrina. Oklahoma City’s fans fell in love with the team and a young point guard named Chris Paul who would be named rookie of the year.
