As the legend goes... "A great herd of American bison was lost in the Arbuckle Mountains during a ferocious storm - the kind only Oklahoma can produce." One bison saved all of his friends and was struck by lightning. The bolt changed him, and he began to walk on two legs with incredible strength and dexterity. Not until there arrived a group of players with similar qualities, the Oklahoma City Thunder, did he finally feel like he fit in. So he joined the team. And now, he's a highlight of Thunder games, also available for birthday parties and other events.

If you're flying in for an Oklahoma City Thunder game, you might want to look at a hotel near the airport, but for those looking to stay just a short walking distance from the Chesapeake Energy Arena, there are several excellent choices, including the pictured historical Skirvin (which some New York Knicks players famously blamed for a loss to the Thunder in early 2010 due to it being supposedly haunted).

The history of the Oklahoma City Thunder NBA franchise begins with an unlikely scenario following a catastrophic natural event. The New Orleans Hornets were forced to temporarily relocate after 2005's Hurricane Katrina. OKC stepped up and exceeded expectations by fervently supporting the young team during their two year stay. A powerful message was sent. Oklahoma City was ready for the big leagues. The Hornets returned to rebuilding New Orleans, and OKC would be left hoping for an NBA opportunity. It came when a group of OKC-based investors purchased the Seattle SuperSonics from Starbucks mogul Howard Schultz in 2007. After a funding & legal battle in Seattle, a settlement was reached and the team approved for relocation to Oklahoma City.
