The Oklahoma City Thunder bring huge crowds to the Paycom Center in downtown Oklahoma City. Since the 2008 acquisition of the NBA basketball team, the Oklahoma City Thunder have become one of the state's main attractions. 

The Thunder has accumulated an impressive track record full of superstars. In the short time since the Thunder arrived in 2008, legends like Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Carmelo Anthony, Paul George and Chris Paul have worn the Thunder blue and orange. The latest iteration of Thunder basketball is helmed by a new generation of stars, including Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren as well as head coach Mark Daigneault. 

The enthusiasm shared by Oklahoma City Thunder fans has been a unifying force since the team's beginning. Rumble the Bison is the Oklahoma City Thunder's mascot, and he proudly represents his team and the buffalo, a longtime symbol of the state of Oklahoma. The Thunder Girls dance team also brings excitement wherever they go.  

Oklahoma City Thunder games are fun for the whole family. Thunder games are held at the Paycom Center, conveniently located in the heart of downtown OKC near the Bricktown Entertainment District. There are dozens of restaurants nearby for casual or fine dining, along with many choices for accommodations in the area.
