@@abdiaden7049 It is still funny 4 months later. But the OKC fans didn't initially have a poor opinion of Harden when he left. It is just over the years OKC and Houston have had some very important playoff series against each other, some very physical games, some cheap shot injuries, and several fights break out.

I’m at the game rn and I teared up😭
He gave blood sweat and tear for our city, he did so much on and off the court for us. He still gets loud cheers every time he returns.
I’m a grown man and when I watched this live, it was non-stop ugly crying for a solid 5 minutes. Most of the people from Oklahoma, It was easy being a Thunder fan during the KD era.. but I always idolized Russell- -not just for his assassin’s mentality on the court, his will to be the best dad he can possibly be, or his hilarious demeanor on and off the court.. but it was the fact that every time he was on the court..every bone headed play, there was a sequence/crazy shot/dunk/game winner that had me flying out of my seat, yelling louder than I ever had before. Brodie will always be my dude and my favorite player
wow I want Russ back in OKC the amount of respect he has earned in that city it’s his home man

Oklahoma loves him, even though he got traded without winning them a championship/finals. Other teams have hated players for leaving cause they didn’t accomplish anything, but Oklahoma is really appreciative and thankful for Russ and the way he has helped the team/state.
Every time I see this tribute video I shed a tear. My favorite nba player of all time

If he had better shooting, better late game decision-making, and better use of his athletic gifts on defense especially in off ball situations, he could absolutely be the greatest point guard of all time. Among point guards that haven’t retired yet, his career is probably top 3 right behind Steph and CP3.
