While at these venues the OKC Thunder players created copious humorous and touching moments which were caught on social media.

OKC Thunder players have a blast at the zoo:

Butterflies, Sea Lions and other animals at the Oklahoma Zoo captivated Steven Adams, Enes Kanter, Jerami Grant and other OKC Thunder players.

Not surprisingly Steven Adams was the man who offered the best sound bites. Like Fred Katz this clip of Adams discussing artificially inseminating cows ranks among the best sound bits ever.

Sea Lion Love:

Afterwards Adams received some extra love from an extremely friendly sea lion.

Adams Stache Brother Enes Kanter was equally active as he hugged a seal at the zoo and offered plenty of great social media moments.

Elephant Artistry:

The OKC Thunder Twitter site provided numerous moments including Andre Roberson working with an elephant to create a painting.

Here’s the finished product from Grant’s art class with the talented elephant:
