Tyler Conrady saw the news flash across his phone screen.
Paul George had committed to re-sign with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
As soon as Conrady saw the news, he rushed to the nearest sports shop to pick up a George jersey. In the heat of the moment, Conrady might have gotten a bit carried away.
“I ended up buying one for myself and four others for some friends,” said Conrady, who also purchased a pair of Paul George shoes.
OKC fans have been in a state of limbo the entire year. George's free agency loomed over the whole season, and for some OKC fans it was hard to enjoy the games.
