The fan voted OKC Thunder All-Decade team

On the wings for the OKC Thunder All-Decade team
The shooting guard position for the OKC Thunder ended up coming down to a tight race, surprisingly so. Somehow, Andre Roberson stole the race from Thabo Sefolosha. I attribute this to the new wave OKC Thunder fans that do not remember the impact he had on the franchise and the OKC Thunder teams throughout this decade.

Andre Roberson was a defensive mastermind, but I think his tragic injury has gotten a lot of OKC Thunder fans misremembering just how good he was. Nonetheless, this is a poll I do not agree but also do not have a strong enough stance to get overly upset about…That will come later.
At the Small Forward position, we ran into another no brainer, as Kevin Durant ran away with the win over Paul George and Jeff Green.

I simply find it embarrassing that 16 percent, troll or not, OKC Thunder fans would vote for Paul George over Kevin Durant. What has Paul George ever done for the franchise?
Sure, he had a somewhat MVP level season last year. He still left and backed out of his commitment to the organization. He still bailed on this city and franchise. While I am not mad or upset at PG let’s not just let him off that easy because the Thunder have a wonderful general manager that was able to pull off highway robbery of a desperate team.
Still though, forget all that. What has Paul George ever done? Two All-Star seasons and failed playoff runs does not undo or overtake all that Kevin Durant did for the OKC Thunder throughout the decade.
