This Thunder group is facing their first-ever Game 7 in the playoffs — a huge moment for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, and the young OKC squad. Last year’s team never reached this do-or-die stage.
Wade, a three-time NBA champion who knows the pressure of Game 7s all too well, shared his thoughts on his Wy Network podcast.
“If they’re going to get that championship, lift that trophy over their head, they got to go through some adversity,” Wade said. “We’re watching it right now.”
He added that this tough moment is exactly what the Thunder need to grow as a team.
“They need this. I want to see them in a Game 7. I want to see them win a Game 7,” Wade said.
Nuggets and Thunder will play Game 7 on May 18th in Oklahoma City.
