First up is this tweet looking at Moses Brown’s incredible journey to earning a full-time contract with the OKC Thunder.
Brown signed a multi-year deal with OKC on Sunday after a series of massive games which included a 21 point, 23 rebound game against the Celtics.
It’s another feel-good story and another example of OKC’s willingness to take a chance and put their faith in Brown. He has worked hard to get to this point and it’s amazing to see him reap the rewards.
So watch out, because this guy is going to be a household name.

When the OKC Thunder took on the Phoenix Suns on Good Friday, Theo Maledon and Aleksej Pokusevski were sensational. The way they connected looked effortless. It’s amazing to think that they are still only 19. This tweet about the pair plus the image of Sam Presti is just gold.
Only rookies in Thunder history to score 30 points:

Russell Westbrook
Theo Maledon
That’s it. That’s the list.
This last tweet is from Thunder beat writer Brandon Rahbar, but I had to share because it speaks volumes as to how impressive Maledon is playing.
We often say that rookies have a bright future and though we may not know what the future holds, we still believe. But with Maledon you just know.
After the game against Phoenix, Pokusevski described what it’s like to play alongside Maledon. He said that Maledon “is a great guy to play with, unselfish guy. Playing the right way, finding the open man, scoring…pretty easy to play with him.”
That’s all for this week. Be sure to look out for next week’s edition of top fan tweets.
Until then have an awesome week and #ThunderUp.
