Not sure if this is normal for the team, but it's abnormal enough that NBA fans were caught off guard.
Either way, when we post a out the Dodgers and their pagan ritual openings, we should also share when God is being made known!

Don’t forget:
How Kyrie Irving was treated, aka ridiculed.
The Thunder is the only NBA team to hold a prayer at the start of every home game and it doesn't necessarily have to be a Christian prayer. The team has also invited clergy representing Protestants and Catholics, Rabbis and even Native American leaders.
They've been doing it since the Hornets were in OKC in 2005, it’s a 'nondenominational invocation."
it's a non-story really.
First and last sentences are fighting each other :)
If they're the only team doing something good, in a sea of pro sports doing bad things,....that's a story.
It's not really a story if it's been going on since 2004
It’s certainly a story since people like me have no idea it’s been going on since 2004. I’m very delighted to now know
Tbh I had no idea, I just saw some upset Redditors and assumed it was abnormal
I think one of the big problems on this site is that people find vague headlines on social media and run away with it without doing proper research.
How dare I share people praying at a sporting event, when in the past 10 years sports have become asymmetrical pagan/political left leaning festivals: NASCAR, hockey, football, NBA, soccer, etc.
I'll never share anything again as to not upset the all knowing Modeler42. Forgive me, sire.
Bro you don't need to flog yourself over it lol
It started after their hometown was destroyed by hurricane Katrina I belive. That's why they moved to OKC.
Pretty sure Seattle wasn't destroyed by Katrina...

I can’t believe you guys didn’t put 2+2 together. “Where there is Thunder, There is Lightening!” God is starting a Storm in the NBA perhaps. ;)
You mean the Seattle SuperSonics Stollen team
Did you not see how BLM shut down that entire city?
Fuck Seattle.
Haha! I remember when we started saying OKC Seahawks to twist the knife some more.
More of this, please 😁🙏
I found the reddit thread OP was referring to if anyone else wants to see their tears.

My new NBA team.
DEUS VULT
I like the courage. Sometimes it takes one act to get people more confident in their faith. If you are a kid who is a fan, then you emulate your heroes. Maybe than prayer is not this lame thing in the mind of a kid. Just a thought after my surgery. Not loopy I promise!
God’s country
I Don't give a fuck if r/nba is happy or not
Nice!
Hmm... It almost sounds like the NBA is owned by zionists.
Nobody else I know is unhappy about reciting a prayer except them. Not even Muslims.
Why does any religion need to be part of these events? I guess we should be thankful it wasn't a Muslim prayer.....yet.
Because this is America.
Better question is why with all the insanity that’s been going on for the last four years we’re still choosing to bond over sportsball.
Yeah I don't care if individuals want to pray, but why make a spectacle about it?
Matthew 6:5-6
5 And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Not sure why virtue signalers come to mind ... although they did virtue signal their covidiot vaxxes.
