My Bad: Oklahoma City Squad Still Nameless

by Chris Alvino on August 27th, 2008 at 11:49 pm

I am not a fan of providing misinformation to readers, and thus I am writing this post to apologize for past posts in which I claimed that Oklahoma City’s new name is the Thunder.  According to ESPN.com, the OKC team has yet to decide on a new team name.  The organization plans on releasing its new name and uniforms on September 3.  “Thunder” is apparently one of the names being considered.

I am not sure if anyone was/ is bothered by my error(s), but if so, then I apologize.  I was under the impression that they had already settled on “Thunder.” 

As I wrote in my previous post, the OKC team has some decisions to make regarding their young centers.  Who knows, maybe their decision might involve sending one of them to the Knicks.

    Don’t know about you guys but Thunder sounds like a minor league team. Maybe its just me

    Love- I completely agree. Thunder is a pretty corny name for an NBA team. I am personally a fan of team names that are plural words, like the Knicks.
