If you can believe KOCO-TV in Oklahoma City, the Supersonics have now become the OKC Thunder.
Sources close to the NBA confirmed to KOCO's Mark Rodgers that the NBA registrar has reserved the domain names "okcthunderbasketball.com" and "okcthunderbasketball.net."
Mike Baldwin with newsok.com is reporting that the partnership who brought them team from Seattle to OKC "listened to the people" when they chose the team name. They had a poll with various names for people to vote on, in an NCAA Tournament-style bracket. Thunder defeated Outlaws in the final round.
The Oklahoman's Berry Tramel, a friend of OSG, had some interesting thoughts about the Thunder. My favorite - NBA fans of OKC would be called the "ThunderGround."
More information as it becomes available...
