Before Oklahoma faced LSU in the Peach Bowl Saturday, Thunder rookie Darius Bazley made a bold prediction. “I got Oklahoma winning it all,” read a post on his verified Twitter account Saturday morning.
On Saturday afternoon. Bazley dug in his heels. ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins, who played for the Thunder in 2010-2015, tweeted his support for LSU and Ohio State. Bazley quote-tweeted Perkins’s post with the response, “Nah nah nah. OU All the way Perk.” Perkins upped the ante, suggesting they put a “friendly $500” on it. Bazley accepted the bet via Twitter.
Erik Horne: Donovan on Darius Bazley’s opportunity with Danilo Gallinari out: “He’s gonna have to go through some of this stuff in order to learn, grow. There’s going to be some ups and downs but the biggest thing for me is he’s competing and playing with really good energy and motor.”
Days before all of this, he chartered a flight that brought 21-year-old Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Bazley with him to Los Angeles a day ahead of the rest of the team. The introductions to CEOs, the private planes, the diet tips — it’s all a part of what Paul is bringing to the Thunder. “He’s been as available as you can get,” Bazley told The Times. “He’s like a 24-hour convenience store — anything you want to know, anything you want to ask, anything you might need help with, he’s there for you to try to help you.”
