With Media Day and Training Camp set for next week several OKC Thunder players are back in town and spotted out in the community. Specifically the players made trips to the Oklahoma State Fair and Oklahoma Zoo and visiting Brookdale Seniors . While at these venues the OKC Thunder players created copious humorous and touching moments which were caught on social media.
Oklahoma State Fair:
Patrick Patterson, Doug McDermott, Andre Roberson and Jerami Grant had fun at the State Fair offering several magical moments for Thunder Nation. For all the pictures and videos visit the official Oklahoma City Thunder website.

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.
Here's Steven Adams on artificially inseminating cows and why he likes animals more than humans. Maybe my favorite Adams clip ever. pic.twitter.com/2DgRjG480f

Sea Lion Love:
Afterwards Adams received some extra love from an extremely friendly sea lion.
Steven Adams got groped by the sea lion. Went in for the hug and says, "Look at where its hand is!" pic.twitter.com/7L6ldpzwEM
