00:00This means a lot for Oklahoma City, man. We ain't had no win in a long time.
00:04Wouldn't have done it with any other group in the world. It feels good to be a champion.
00:07This is big for the city. He's about to put the city on. We're about to be real big out here.
00:11OKC all the way.
00:12I think this is going to change the city forever.
00:15All the achievements and the accolades and things, they don't even come close to the satisfaction of just winning with your brothers
00:22and people that you are so close to and want to succeed just as much as you want yourself to succeed.
00:27So that's been the most impressive and most fun part of it.
00:30It doesn't feel real. Like everything, like the last minute and a half of the game didn't feel like I was there anymore.
00:36It kind of just felt like I left my body a little bit and like just watched myself like get it and do that whole thing.
00:44It still doesn't feel real.
00:45OKC! OKC! OKC!
00:49It's so huge for Oklahoma City. I think we're going to grow and a lot of things are going to happen because of this.
00:56This is the start of something special. I guarantee it. I'm pulling it now.
01:00This is an uncommon team. This is a great team. You know, all the boxes that this team checked this season.
01:08It's a historic team. But there's no guarantee that you end it the way that we did.
01:14And so I just wanted it so bad for them.
01:17We're everything state. Football, basketball, both. We're going to Dynasty, Thunder, next five years be a Dynasty. We're everywhere.
01:26First of all, none of us knew how to do it. So it was more like, you know, like it was like YouTube tutorials.
01:33And so we were just asking AC how to do it. Shout out to AC for kind of teaching us how to pop champagne, I guess.
01:40This isn't something that I take for granted, you know, like like multiple times because like after we won, like I'm just like I'm bouncing.
01:49I'm jumping up and down with joy. Winning a championship is so hard at any level, especially at the NBA level, because it takes so much.
01:56It takes, you know, so many different people doing their jobs at a high level.
02:01I have 15 brothers that I just experienced a once in a lifetime experience with and I'll never forget them. They'll never forget me.
