If you’re looking for an interesting spin on classic Christmas Carols, you’ve come to the right place. Enjoy.

Twelve Days of Thunder

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love sent to me:

Twelve Melo jab steps

Eleven Huestis hustles

Ten Grant a-dunking

Nine Collison charges

Eight Abrines beard rubs

Seven Felton step backs

Six Singler minutes

Five PG threes

Four Roberson cuts

Three Adams oops

Two Westbrook scowls, and

A Thunder team coached by Billy D.

Singler the Man-Bunned Ball Player

You know Alex and Russell

And George and Dre

2Pat and Grant

And Adams and Ray

But do you recall

The most famous Thunder of all?

Singler the man-bunned ball player (ball player)

Had some very stylish hair (like Zack Morris)

And if you ever saw it (saw it)

You would even say it glares (like the sunlight)

All of the other ball players (ball players)

More from Thunderous Intentions

Used to laugh and call him names (like Jared Leto)

They never let poor Singler (Singler)

Play in any basketball games (like HORSE)

Then one foggy Christmas Day

Donovan came to say (“The ball has to move. We need to keep moving the ball in order to get the shots we need. We can’t play stagnant with the basketball. It has to move to create open looks. You create open looks by constantly moving the basketball. Even if you’re open, you move the basketball to create an even more open look. You move the basketball until you’re so open that you can’t believe you’re that open. And then you move the basketball into the hoop. Just keep moving the basketball.”)

Singler with your bun so tight

Won’t you guard James Harden tonight?

Then all the ball players loved him (loved him)

And they shouted out with glee (MVP!)

“Singler the man-bunned ball player (ball player)

You’ll go down in history” (like Jalen Rose)

Russell Westbrook is Coming to Dunk

You better watch out

You better not try

Better not shout

I’m telling you why

Russell Westbrook is coming to dunk.

He’s dribbling the ball

Dribbling it twice

Hope that rim’s secured tight

Russell Westbrook is coming to dunk.

He sees you trying to chase him

He sees you in his way

He dares you to try and block

You’re dead, when’s the wake?

OH! You better watch out

You better not try

Better not shout

I’m telling you why

Russell Westbrook is coming to dunk.

Steven Adams

Bruising up the defense

He only knows one way

O’er the players he goes

Grimacing all the way.

Hair on his face grows

Making players fright

What fun it is to dunk and show

A Kiwi sighting tonight.

Next: Stven Adams is the most interesting man on the Thunder

Steven Adams, Steven Adams

Staching all the way

Oh what fun it is to watch

Steven Adams play, hey

Steven Adams, Steven Adams

Staching all the way

Oh what fun it is to watch

Steven Adams play.

Merry Christmas to all. And to all, a goodnight.
