The Thunder showcased their dominance during the 2024-25 NBA season, ultimately winning the championship. After securing the title, Alex Caruso made a critical request to the NBA. In a recent appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, he articulated his wish for the Thunder to be acknowledged appropriately by the league moving forward.
“Until you win, they don’t really care about you. They’re not going to put you on TV. They’re not going to talk about you. But once you win, you can’t ignore it. From that aspect, we better play on Christmas next year. I would love to play on Christmas morning and have the rest of the day to watch football. That would be awesome,” Caruso said.
Caruso argues that the Thunder deserve the chance to demonstrate their talents in high-profile events like games on Christmas Day.
