So few people in the arena the motion sensors didn't pick anything up.

Think it would be cool to name it after someone like Kobe or Russell to try to add meaning to it but I understand they want to see if this works first.

I saw this video title and thought it might be a series overemphasized claps in front of the ref but one solitary clap? Cmonnn

But Paycom predates the Thunder...

Well at least when it comes to McDonalds, the city doesn't have to pay for them to be built... Can you point to some of the companies that have been attracted by the Thunder? For the top employers in OKC I'm just seeing a bunch of health industry and government jobs...

Aubrey McClendon already did

You're getting at the point I was getting at - the Deer District is what revitalized the area and conceivably it would've done the same thing combined with the previous arena. You can see a similar effect with how LA Live revitalized the area around the Staples Center despite being built separately several years later.

That's a fair angle to take and more honest than people twisting themselves into knots insisting that giving a billionaire hundreds of millions of dollars is going to pay for itself.

Is that the study from the Mayor's press release? I have three guesses as to who paid for it

Can you elaborate? Wasn't the Fiserv Forum built next door to the old arena? What was stopping the Bucks from revitalizing the surrounding area before?

Except the Thunder, like many teams, get a sweetheart lease deal. The last one had them paying 1.6 million a year with the team keeping the naming rights. How does this come close to being a good investment?

I forget the nuances of the anti-flopping rule but I don't hate the no-call here - he takes himself out of the play and gives the Sun the advantage on the fast break.
