As a mass exodus of players descend on trips to take in the sun and get some well deserved rest and relaxation a select few are headed to Chicago. Not quite the same weather for these elite players but it’s an honor to be part of the All-Star Weekend and participate in the games and events. The OKC Thunder have two representatives attending the festivities — Chris Paul and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
In many ways, these two represent everything that is good about the OKC Thunder and embody the direction of the franchise. More than ever before the franchise is based on TEAM and after years of going the ‘superstar’ route perhaps as they say – everything happens for a reason.
