Musky teared up as he spoke about the tremendous culture and great values of the organization.
He said, “coming to OKC, I’m grateful for it and it helped me a lot as a man and as a player. I feel like the organization’s values and the fans here, and everything it just aligns with how I feel. They made it gratifying to come in every day and go to work.”
Whatever happens, in his two years with the Thunder, he had a positive impact on the team and was an awesome role model for the younger guys coming up.
