  • The Dynasty That Never Was: How the “Thunder” Never Created Any “Lightning” By: Austin Rader
    The Dynasty That Never Was: How The “Thunder” Never Created Any “Lightning” By: Austin Rader August 4, 2019 -- Small market teams in the NBA rarely win championships. The San Antonio Spurs are the standard blueprint that a small market organization can become a dynasty. They won four championships from 1997-2014. This was due to drafting extremely well, developing their youth, and having the greatest coach of all time didn’t hurt either. When a 22 year old James Harden hit the biggest shot of his young career that silenced the San Antonio crowd, this sent wave shocks throughout the NBA. The young Thunder were one game of going to the NBA Finals. The stepback three Harden made over Kawhi Leonard signaled the arrival as a contender in the league for years to come. This shot was in the 2012 Western Conference Finals that stretched the Thunder lead to five points in a pivotal Game Five. The cameras went straight to James Harden being greeted by Russell Westbrook and being playfully shoved by Kevin Durant. The Thunder would seal the win in San Antonio, taking a commanding 3-2 lead in the series. Two nights later, The Thunder punched their ticket to the NBA Finals. They had arrived In Game One of the Finals, Russell Westbrook made a fade-away jumper over Dwyane Wade to put the Thunder up 8 with under 2:00 minutes to go. Their game one win against Miami marked the closest they got to a championship. It wasn’t supposed to be their peak. This young talented Thunder core that GM Sam Presti drafted were supposed to bring multiple banners in Chesapeake Arena.

Though tried for first-degree murder, the jury found Drury guilty of manslaughter. Drury was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Closing statements were given by Att. David Thomas and Att. Robert McMahan on Friday. before presenting their final statements, both urged the jury to consider only the evidence and testimonies presented in court when coming to a decision. Att. Thomas told the jury, “Anger robs a man of his reason,” stating Drury that Drury had been angry with Jeff Garrison not only due to custody dis- putes between Garrison and Drury’s daughter, Misty Garrison, but also because Garrison had threatened Drury’s business as an unlicensed denturist. Thomas told the jury that Drury’s deliberate intent was shown by his actions leading up to the death of Jeff Garrison April 12, 2016 —driving from his den- tal lab in Blair to Altus to buy shotgun shells, arriving at Walmart at 5:59 p.m., tearing open the box and loading the .410 shotgun before arriving at the scene, and shooting Garrison by 6:15 p.m. that night when he called his wife to tell her he had shot Garrison.
