OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER (“Tuoni”) – La decisione de nome Thunder e’ legata principalmente a due motivi: primo la zona di Oklahoma e’ famosa per i temporali molto forti caratterizzati proprio dai tuoni; secondo ad Oklahoma City e’ situato il 45° Reggimento di Fanteria Carristi dell’esercito degli Stati Uniti D’America ed il soprannome del reggimento e’ quello di “Thunder”. La franchigia e’ nata nel 2008 dai Seatte Sonics. Pero’ a Seattle, dopo mesi di discussioni, sono rimasti nome, logo e colori sociali dei team dei Sonics mentre ad OKC si e’ “solo” trasferito tutto l’organico della societa’ (dai dirigenti ai giocatori).
