View Full Version : All that hate - and now this.
MikeOKC 04-05-2010, 04:01 PM This link is from the NBA.com by celebrated NBA writer Scott Howard-Cooper. Why didn't I post this in the Sports/Thunder forum? Because it's about OKC as a city. I found it a moving piece, extremely well-written and it says a lot about our city. You need not give a whit about basketball to like this one. I think it's a must-read.

Wow. I know Keith Simonds. He's a really good guy. I never knew he was one of the first responders though.
MikeOKC 04-09-2010, 04:39 PM That whole series was tremendous. That was some serious journalism from a sports writer! Great stuff. The videos are worth watching too.
