Transcript excerpt

Spurs Thunder game seven is gonna be the biggest hate watch the NBA has ever seen, point blank. We have never seen this many people unite and join forces as one to hate on one team. We're not even Spurs fans. It is the world versus OKC. Not just America. It's the entire world. If there are other forms of life in other planets somewhere in the galaxy, they're also against OKC.
