Greatest day ever for Oklahoma City!
N game 1 of the 2012 finals
Nah at the end of Game 4 of the 2016 Western Conference finals
Adam Samuel yeah😂
Greatest year
Man if this Thunder team beat the Heat in the 2012 nba finals that would have been a ture underdog story
who's watching this after KD signed to the warrior's? man it'll never be the same without him.
Yeah I watched this after he signed it's so sad if only he would've stayed and closed out the warriors and beat the cavs for that first ring but sadly life decided thunder fans needed a really devastating curve ball
You're right, but I had a feeling if he's gonna win championship in oakland he'll be back to OKC and win their first title just like Lebron did to cleveland. Time will tell and i hope it's possible.
Yeah I hope he takes that route but I don't think he will cause Westbrook might be leaving after this season
Really? We'll okc's a young team though, they will rebuild and became stronger in the future.
8:37 bruh... i'm not a Thunder fan and it hurts
That Thunder-Spurs series was a huge upset
When OKC was down 2-0 no one thought they would win the series but they won 4 straight which was a shocker
I remember being at Best Buy watching this game on the TV. And the whole store went wild when it was over chanting KD KD KD😁
Are you from okc
Whos watching this after
Harden got traded to the Rockets
Durant signed with Warriors
Westbrook traded to Rockets
OKC DIED
How did OKC screw this up?
Can't believe how things change in nba in 7 years.
Durant signed with nets
@@luvjay3649 I know
I meant when he left.
They look pretty alive to me. With 16 First Round draft picks through now and 2026
Kd was the most loved player ever…..it makes me sad as a kd fan😢now he is an nba villain
Well nobody hates him anymore
Okc Dumb Asf For Letting Harden Go
Shamon Shaw They traded him so they could keep kendrick Perkins
@@trickytoes 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He avg 7 ppg in a 3 game stretch in the finals….
Man the energy in that building, I’m a spurs fan and watching this from home seeing and listening to that crowd, even when we went up 16 points, I knew there was a small chance that we’d hold on to that lead. Westbrook Durant and harden were like sharks in blood infested waters
This OKC crowd was hype!
everytime i think of the 2012 nba playoffs i get emotional... first of all OKC is my team and we had a great group of guys definatly we had the chance to win it all and it all started when we swept Dallas beat LA and the beat the Spurs.. Although i really wish my team could of won it that year but unfortinatly life has to be the way it is
I feel you bro I thought that was our year
yea man same i felt like we got rigged against miami
+MalleiAm We might get it this year
we will win this year thunderup
+Sean Dube lol
Reggie Jackson
Russell Westbrook
Serge Ibaka
Kevin Durant
James Harden
PhilUp Rivers Oladipo
Sebonis
Warren France No, wtf
Warren France wtf that was way after this 2012 Big 3 OKC run and after the KD and Harden era in OKC ended.
PhilUp Rivers can’t forget the key vets that played a big part like Perkins and D Fisher. Nick Collison also provided depth at the 5 and OKC also had a young Sefolosha. Overall they had a well rounded team with a high amount of raw starpower. It’s a shame Sam Presti didn’t re-sign Harden.
Reggie is trash
2:59 KD cross tf out Leonard
yeah kawhi sucked in 2012
"As they await the winner from Boston-Miami."
R.I.P. Boston Big Three :-(
“the baby thunder” took out the champs (dallas mavericks) then kobe, gasol and the lakers in the semi finals then the veteran spurs in the western conference finals being down O - 2 to start the series.
respect it but it's not baby thunder bro
@@nguasaya1305 yeah they were the big three were under 25 at the time
@@joycewelcome9154they were 23 and 22 with the exception of Perkins
As great as this was, could you imagine what it would have been like if Boston beat Miami to face OKC in the finals and then OKC come out on top? Talk about storybook. Think about it. OKC takes its losses in the playoffs: first rounds, semis, WCFs only to then come back and knock off the Mavs (a thorn in Kobe's side and former NBA champs) Kobe's Lakers, which was the team of this past era, then the Spurs (Kobe's top competiton and 4 'now 5' time champs and then take down the Celtics (former champs who beat Kobe and Lebron). It would have been like a new era of basketball had just begun.
The curry era has begun
Erick Acosta
I gladly cosign with that.
Both the spurs and Celtics were 2-4 of better basketball to reach the finals
Durant the best of all time
No
He doesnt play like that anymore. You can see the youthful energy he had here. Now its all skill and less explosion.
Facts. He doesn’t drive to the basket as aggressive. Him getting injured honestly helped him perfect his craft more and become more efficient
Back when Thunder vs Heat looked to be the next great feud. Thunder was supposed to dominate the rest of the decade.
spurs and okc rivalry was really fun to watch
Ah yes KD before the heel turn
MVP KEVIN DURANT!
Glory days of the nba East and west had top dawgs and it was an all out war. Personally in my opinion the 2nd best season (2016 being the #1)
And that yr, both west and east, #1 seed vs #2 seed were in Round 3 : conference finals. But in Round 4 : nba finals. West #2 seed East #1 seed.
Unlike today, #1 seed are eliminated in 2nd round.
When Perkins had the wide open dunk that crowd just went absolutely nuts…. One of a kind crowd
Ever since harden left OKC, the team haven't made it yo the finals
absolutely right
ever since harden left okc he hasn't made it out of the first round
+harry beaver ... comment valid until...
+David Storm Harden still hasn't been to the Finals since.
Never did :(
I never realized how much okc really loved kd before he left
lol Steve Kerr commintating
Lol
These fans deserved a champion for real, most of the fans from other cities wait for the first field goal then sit down but they are standing in majority of the game, these actions are really encouraging those players... And rip the good kid KD we known, KD is never become the same .
The squad we had back then was INSANE. Besides the obvious KD and Westbrook, we had Reggie Jackson, Kendrick Perkins, Thabo Sefalosha, Serge Ibaka, Derek Fisher, Nick Collison, Scott Brooks (although he wasn't the best coach, at this point anything's better than Billy Donovan)...and while we didn't win the Finals, it's so upsetting to think that we didn't even give that squad a chance to improve. Who's to say we wouldn't have gone back to the Finals? We let Harden walk, among others, for some of the scrubs we have now. The 2016 Thunder will not go to the Finals with the way we're playing now. What could've been...
+Jesus Girl you had the GOAT on your team then
west finals!!
and ofc harden too
Billy Donovan is a great coach.. What are you on about?
Jackson Byrne
I said this 2 months ago. A lot's changed since then, lol.
This gives me chills and makes me sad, just hoping we get back there this year
Golden state up next
+Patience Barnett we up 1-0
Up 3-1 now
too bad we lost game 5, hopefully we can close it out in game 6 at home
uh oh...
I tend to come back here from time to time,god dawm the crowd was on their feet the whole game
Back then Kawhi was trash like Andre Robertson. Now he is a beast
i still miss those battles tbh
0:38 Wow its so weird seeing Steve Kerr as a commentator in 2020
Especially since he would go on to win 2 championships with KD
I cannot believe this was 10 years ago! I had just graduated high school and remember Oklahoma City being THE number one important team in the NBA. That was such a great time for Oklahoma that season. Sad these days are long gone and won’t be returning thanks to Sam Presti
No changes you think?
Look at the squad now. This team has ridiculous potential too and they’re younger than the 2012 group
Only 23, that ridiculous man, he's going to be something great.
It happen
Great bandwagoner
Greatest Days of OKC,
😇😇😇😇😇😇
I really hope that KD would bring a glory for OKC 😍😍😍
kd 💪💀🔥
I remember this game, what a comeback!
I love watching this
+ImSpruic we're timhberd
+Buffalo Soldier ya I think that to
no
no more warriors superteam 😭😭😭
Alex same
Currently one game away from this
Warriors still won't win LMAO
X02Overdose yikes
X02Overdose welp
X02Overdose what nigga
Kyrie 1rv1ng welp LMAO
Who would’ve thought ibakas title would come from Toronto
he's amazing.
Celtics and Thunder were down 2-0 in the conference finals series yet both of them almost won 4 straight games
Thunder did won 4 in a row Celtics won 3 in a row to lead 3-2 but LeBron forced 7 with 46 points and won in 7
But it wouldve been the first time in NBA history that both finals teams won 4 in a row in the conference finals after down 2-0 Thunder did it and Celtics were all so close
Looking at this in 2020. Still the biggest what if in NBA History... :(
i wish itt was okc vs boston man..
should have been but the refs didnt aloud for boston to beat miami
Samw
Thefunnysportsman meant same
Really wish that shit happened too
Yasss the finals would have been awesome bruh. Okc would have a better chance tho
they beat a really good San Antonio team that year that was favored to win, then they imploded in the finals against Miami
the moment we thought we got the new HIM player and the 2016 happened and 2015 season someone snatch it from kd and his group
I thought OKC almost came too far, too fast in getting to the Finals in 2012 - I think they were one year ahead of schedule. They weren't ready for the stage in getting beat down by Miami and now just three years later here they are with a new unproven coach, their two superstars at a crossroads, each having suffered a major injury at some point, and an uncertain future. They seem destined to be remembered by history as one of those "almost great" teams that never quite got there.
+walterv01 yeah your right i think if they had 1 more year until 2013 they could have just beat that Miami team
walterlv01 I got faith in Billy Donavon. He can't be worse than Scott Brooks. Brooks had no system for offense but Donavon has a spread pick n roll system that he's going to drill the players with. If OKC stays healthy they can go to the finals with Donavon
+walterlv01 Regardless of when they got there, they still lost James Harden the next year so it wasn't like they had any chance of getting better. I think your point is interesting but not really relevant in the scheme of things.
Miami was even better in 12-13
+Keith Henderson Well unfortunately, Donovan hasn't changed much for okc offense and his defense system is even worse than Brooks. Presti has proven to be a failed GM because he can't build a better bench or find a better coach.
This our year y’all thunder up! 💪🏾
7:50 maybe my favorite sports moment ever seeing KD celebrate. God damn it I loved him in thunder blue. I still don’t get the move. He was the king of Oklahoma
yes for sure but lots of people there saying that westbrook is the best player there
both kd and russ failed, let it go
@@theonlygoodonehere2259 no Sam Presti failed
@@tech_ninja they were never going to win, all the problems they had in that 2012 finals from each 3 individual guys and their flaws being exposed in that series is still a recurring flaw to this day, they never overcame that one flaw each faced
Crazy Steve Kerr is announcing and now he runs the biggest nba dynasty with KD
this is one of the best highlight videos I always wanted to find a video where they show the rebounds also,you could've put also the moments when he got steals and blocks but it's ok nice vid peace
this was one magical game
im crying in the club
ohh i am missing good old days
This season is kd most loved fans
KD IS AWSOME LETS GO THUNDER THUNDER UP
Man take me back
i love the intro. "on a 70 degree rainy day..." gets me so hype for some reason
Watching this to get me hype come on OKC you got this tonight
This aged poorly too 😂
I literally want to cry, after this year everything went to shit :( then kd leavs us
This should've happened again Saturday night smh
Over the 2016 Warriors wouldve been an even bigger upset
Miss these days
This game was EPIC !!
NBA champ!!!
KD!!
We can do this again fam!!! #ThisIsOurYear #ThunderUp 💙⚡️
Thunder were tough this series vs my Spurs
Not saying the 2012 Finals was rigged but....... The Finals was rigged
They loved you so much.
Thunder gonna win tomorrow night in another game 6 heading to the finals... This video gives me chills!
Pet Bobo :(
R.I.P thunder fans dreamed of ever making it to the finals
This aged poorly
I'm late af but KD made Kawhi touch the earth..thank goodness for highlights I definitely over look that play back then 😱😳
made rookie kawhi touch the earth, yup thats something to get hyped about, no wonder kd got swept, comments like this made its way into his head
@@theonlygoodonehere2259 Why you so mad 🤣
@@ruth2550 not really mad, just stating facts, kd made 1st season kawhi touch the ground, but he couldn't seemingly do to tatum who had more experience than 1st season kawhi, and the results showed, an 0-4 loss, thats what happened, not being mad, just stating what happened, lol
@@theonlygoodonehere2259 I guess 🤣
@@theonlygoodonehere2259 Kd clears Kawhi
dam KD was really busting ass
Been a fan since 2010 lets get back to these finals we up 1-0‼️🏀
This aged poorly
@@yusufabdullah5008 not really 2012 finals we’re rigged asf
hopefully we do the same tonight...go thunders
MVP
That dunk to perk is hilarious now that I hear him on TV already.
And Now.. New OKC Big3 #HoodieMelo, PG, and Russ!!!
Lmao rip!
The OKC going to repeat the story of 2012 this year, buy this time going to win the ring
hope so underdog
nope
A unfortunate change of events prevented that from happening
Whos here after ibaka kd harden kanter and westbrook left okc
Damn this could've been something
he's going to be great someday
He already is
personally i believe OKC is the only team could beat spurs...hope next season KD can be back in finals
Kevin Durant doesn't even lift
He's one of the greatest
This man's personality did a complete 180
I wanna be back in the damn finals:(
Now you guys have chet and a lot of young guys you will be back
@@kdsmindset5484 lol nope that dude is the next Greg oden
@@tech_ninja Yea I see it now😭
People don't understand, this year I was so depressed, I was in Italy and Lebanon visiting, watching my spurs loose a 2 0 lead, I was so depressed, this was a huge deal, people don't understand, spurs were so lethal at this time, the big 3 Genobli and Duncan and parker were still so good this time, and 3 younger guys Durant, harden and parker beat them, that was a upset, that's exactly like Wiggins, Lavine and towns beating golden state last year, it was a shocker
when KD was cool
We going back
+dezzydhakidd This year is our year.
+Jesus Girl :( I wish it was but looking at our team
DH toranio
When I wrote that, I really thought it was but smh, we really aren't looking too good... :(
Yea , the defense and the bench is killing our hopes.
+dezzydhakidd so much times KD & Russ can save us but when we hit play offs and looking at GSW team rn it's looking long for us but faith
LOL Steve Kerr in the beginning what if he knew he would coach KD😂😂😂
12 Rounds: Season 8 (2012)
In reality that was the Seattle Super Sonics who made it to the finals
Kevin and Kyrie both clutch
Crowds dont get loud like okc any more
Left his friends, his city, his nation
Now hes a 2 time champ and wouldve been 3 times if he didnt get hurt
Imagine if the Celtics wouldve beaten Heat
It wouldve been the 1st time in NBA history that both finals teams came back from down 2-0 in the series to win 4 straight, it almost happen
what i would give to go to an okc playoff game...
With harden they just couldn't be stopped man
Liam Mcknight they got stoped by the heat and Lebron james
@@trickytoes i remember when the heat and lebron James got beat by a record margin in the finals by the Spurs…😆
