“In the United States, it’s about timing. I believe both Micic and Vezenkov understood this as well. Over there, regardless of who you are, I believe the team and timing are the most important. If you get hurt or stay healthy, which players are playing. Because Micic can play in the NBA, but he was on a team at Oklahoma, which won the championship the next year, then at Charlotte with some young players that had more playing time and space, so he could not find any space. On the other hand, I recall Sasha being really good whenever he played, but he could not find his path. However, I am sure both are very happy with their time there,” he said.
Brandon Rahbar: Sam Presti’s full Oklahoma Hall of Fame speech is a must watch for every OKC fan and Oklahoman. “Of all the things I admire and appreciate about Oklahoma, this is one of the strongest: This place doesn’t just talk about the power of community, it has lived it. Again and again.”

Four-time NBA All-Star Micheal Ray Richardson, who was once banned from the league for drug use, died Tuesday in Lawton, Oklahoma, after a short battle with prostate cancer at the age of 70, his attorney and friend John Zelbst told Andscape. "The basketball world and anyone Micheal came in contact with lost a great sportsman," Zelbst said. "He lived life to the fullest. He overcame the most incredible odds to accommodate what he did in life. He serves as an example on how to redeem yourself and make something of yourself. I think he is the greatest NBA player that has never been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Incredible player, player, person and family man."
In the interview, Singler said his time with the Thunder was uncomfortable and that he experimented in Oklahoma with a drug called DMT. "I was going through a lot, wasn't performing well, hit probably a low point in my life," he said. DMT is a hallucinogen that produces intense visual hallucinations, auditory distortions and an altered sense of time and body image, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. It has no approved medical use in the United States and was popular as a drug of abuse in the 1960s.

Police in Haskell County, Oklahoma, arrested former NBA and Duke basketball player Kyle Singler on Thursday after he allegedly assaulted his girlfriend. The police, who allege Singler was under the influence of drugs at the time of arrest, received a call from the woman alleging that Singler chased her and tried to "get" her child.
The troubles continue for ex-NBA forward Kyle Singler. Singler got arrested this week in Haskell County, Oklahoma, Lori Fullbright of News On 6 in Tulsa reported on Thursday. The now 37-year-old Singler was arrested for domestic violence, Fullbright adds.
Vasilije Micic: Well, that’s interesting for the NBA. I’ve experienced three different organizations. One that’s just on another level. Host: Oklahoma? Vasilije Micic: Oklahoma—the best. And let’s say, there are maybe two or three more for sure, but they’re the best as an organization. Player: There are organizations that are really good, but they’re boosted by the players they have. For example, I think that’s the case with Golden State. It’s elevated to another level because of the players. But the organization itself, initially… maybe San Antonio, from what I’ve heard, is good.
Dennis Schroeder: “I have to be honest — LeBron, Russ, first in Oklahoma in 2018, when I first came to Oklahoma, I was traded, and then we flew straight to LA and had a mini camp there for four days. And the first time I saw Russell Westbrook in his prime, I was like, okay, we play him tomorrow, not afraid, but I thought, I have to go to bed early. And I saw Russ in LA, his body, his forearms were as big as my shoulders. I said to my wife, ‘Hey, I have to go to the gym, I need to get bigger. Russ is an animal.’ And he set the example — always first in the gym. Then LeBron — I went to training in LA two hours early, thinking I’d be first, and I hear balls bouncing. LeBron’s already drenched in sweat. I thought, ‘Bro, we have two hours of practice ahead!’ That kind of work — that's the reason I live it now, every day. And now, I show that to the German team.”

Brandon Rahbar: Sam Presti: "Chris Paul is another guy. He's obviously not just a factor in our history but basketball in Oklahoma.. We played Russell in the playoffs. For him to be in the building in these situations, you have to look back on it and take it all in."
Oklahoma forward Jalon Moore suffered a torn Achilles in a pre-draft workout. Moore was a potential second-round pick in the upcoming 2025 NBA Draft. Moore's agent Mike Silverman of Equity Sports was critical of the workout process leading up to the NBA Draft. "We're truly heartbroken for Jalon. It's time to revamp the NBA pre-draft process. Flying around the country to perform intense competitive workouts exposes players to risk of major injuries. No other pro sports league puts their draft prospects in this position," Moore told ESPN.
