Here's another piece of evidence that having an NBA team is a plus for a city like ours. Watch the whole piece to see what they have to say:

Very nice, Balanced and factual discussion. I think as we progress more and more national reviewers will come to a similar conclusion regarding the relative lack of importance of where you play versus winning and salary. This is one of my keeper interviews. Rome seems to be on a OKC bandwagon kind of thing lately

Very nice and thanks Betts for the post. Is it just my computer or does anyone else have trouble with low audio volume in the video?

The OP's clip appears to have been recorded from a handheld camcorder. Here's another version that has much better audio and video:

Loved that! Thanks so much for posting this. I just moved from another one pro team town (NBA too), Orlando, and never did I feel this much pride for the team there that I do here...I was even living there during the Magic's run to the Finals last year and there just was not the vibe that the city here has with its team and we have not even officially made the playoffs yet! It just is a way different feeling in OKC and I LOVE IT! I am addicted to watching this team and well-up with pride that they are our own.
