Some Memorable Moments of the 2012 NBA Playoffs 🤧🤧
End of the thread. One of the most underrated seasons of Kevin Durant’s career. Likes and Retweets are appreciated 🙏🏾

Crazy how OKC did all of this while the team was so young.

One of the biggest “What-ifs” in NBA History.
Probably my favorite OKC team I watched.
