Sunday has arrived. It’s time for TI’s weekly OKC Thunder column: Sunday Social Swag and Shade. Edition 4 features the best in social media for the week of January 23rd through the 29th.
Every Sunday on Thunderous Intentions, we dive into social media to capture the best of the week in OKC Thunder social media, splitting them into two categories: Swag and shade.
Let’s get to it.

Parsons, in response to such obvious shade from the Trail Blazers account, tweeted this out:

Portland Trail Blazer C.J. McCollum wasn’t too happy, and decided to strike back:

*insert fire emoji*
Parsons could only muster this response:
stop it. Technically, I hit the lottery.

Well, he isn’t exactly wrong.
