Getting healthy:

After struggling with health last season, Patterson arrived to this year’s training camp in tip top condition. Sporting a chiseled frame, 2-Pat reportedly worked tirelessly on his fitness this summer. On the Thunder’s media day, he talks about what he did to get healthy and his expectations for the upcoming season.

Harassing team mates

A reserved, quiet guy to the media, Patterson behind the scenes loves to joke or harass his team mates. In Steven Adams portion of OKC media day, he gets the big kiwi swearing after failing to answer a question from Thunder journalist Erik Horne (fast forward to 5 minutes and 41 seconds).

Aside from his joking antics, Patterson is a huge movie buff and Netflix crazy. While his twitter activity is among some of the lowest in the NBA, he often seeks recommendations from fans. Besides training for basketball, 2-Pat loves a good movie or show.
