Overview
- George Kittle sat courtside for the Thunder–Spurs Western Conference Finals opener at Paycom Center on Monday, a double-overtime 122-115 loss for Oklahoma City.
- Broadcast cameras caught his animated reaction after Victor Wembanyama ran over Alex Caruso for an offensive foul, and the NBA shared the clip on X.
- After some users accused him of bandwagoning, Kittle replied on X, “Graduated from Norman Oklahoma so you can chill bruh.”
- He grew up in Norman and graduated from Norman High School, which explains his support for the local NBA team.
- Coverage also noted he is rehabbing an Achilles injury and is signed with the 49ers through 2029, with no team implications from his appearance.
