"You might have seen Kevin Durant and the Golden State Warriors win the NBA championship last night, taking down LeBron James and the defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers in five games. Or you might have buried your head in your Thunder pillow and had a good cry. Following Kevin Durant’s MVP performance, in which he averaged 35 points per game, 8.4 rebounds and 5.4 assists, many fans pulled up their twitter accounts to voice their displeasure at seeing Durant win a title after leaving OKC last July to join Golden State."
Ike Anigbogu pre-draft profile
See I told you we’d be looking towards next season! Today’s Thunderous Intentions-highlighted post comes from Site Expert Tamberlyn Richardson, who details the young big from UCLA and his potential at the next level.
"As Kevin O’Connor points out Anigbogu displays a similar quality to Clint Capela. His leaping, rebounding and blocking ability are solid reasons for the comparison. He showcases fluid motion and lateral quickness which are best demonstrated via his stellar defense. Unlike many prospects his body is well suited for the NBA and he may find his talents also better suited for the pro level. Anigbogu tested well at the combine which had a few teams sitting up and taking notice. Specifically, his recorded weight of 250 pounds was 20 more than his initial weight at season start. He also has a huge wing span of more than 7’6″, extremely large hands and a solid lower body with as one scout put it “legs like tree trunks“."
