While a number of his OKC teammates showed their support and disappointment on social media when he was traded, it’s not always clear if that online support is genuine.
The actions of the Thunder players on Sunday, however, 파워볼 proved he truly was beloved during his time in Oklahoma.
The stacked OKC line-up is one of the championship favourites and rolled to a 114-95 win over the Bulls in Chicago’s home opener.
After the game, Giddey was mobbed by his ex-teammates, who were seen laughing and clowning around with the Victorian while they took a group photo.
The moment clearly touched the Australian, who posted the photo as an Instagram story along with the caption: “My brothers for life!”
