About Oklahoma City Blue?
As the NBA G League (formerly known as the Development League) continues to grow into a proper minor league system for the league at large, teams are investing more resources into their own affiliates in hopes of unearthing a diamond in the rough. The Oklahoma City Thunder are one of those teams, with their in-town affiliate, the Oklahoma City Blue.
The Blue started back in 2001 as the Asheville Altitude, based out of North Carolina as one of the founding teams of the then-National Basketball Development League. The Altitude even found some success in the early days, winning the NBDL championships in 2004 and 2005. However, after that second title, the team relocated to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where they became the Tulsa 66ers, a nod to U.S. Route 66, which cuts across the state.
The team eventually was purchased by the Professional Basketball Club LLC — which also owns the Thunder — in 2008. This made Tulsa just the third D-League team to be owned by an NBA team, after the Los Angeles D-Fenders (Lakers) and the Austin Toros (Spurs). Though the 66ers stayed in Tulsa for another half decade, they eventually moved to Oklahoma City in 2014, when they were rebranded as the Blue.
Currently, the Blue are coached by 33-year-old Mark Daigneault, who was named the G League coach of the month for November 2018. The team's roster includes former NBA player K.J. McDaniels, who played with the Rockets, Sixers, and Nets in the NBA. However, the team's star in the 2018-2019 season has been Egyptian-American wing Abdel Nader, who led the team with 24.3 points per game. Nader was impressive enough that he was called up to the Thunder's NBA team and earned significant playing time.

Fast service and great transaction. Easy to use your service
Purchasing tickets through ticket master was ridiculous. It showed very few available seats but in practice there was hardly anyone there and we could sit just about anywhere we wanted. Otherwise, we had a great time.
Great transaction and fast service. Good seats and great time
The OKC Blue is quality entertainment for the whole family! We had great seats and were able to see some outstanding professional basketball! It’s definitely a must for any family!
Arrived early, watched warm ups, the players always seem to be having fun and that makes it just so fun for the spectators. We have quite an array of guys that play several positions. We love watching them work their way back up to the Thunder. Again it’s just sooo fun!!
Game was exciting, particularly the second half. Glad Blue won. Half time demo by the karate team was very good. Band was good as well.
Very cool experience. It was our first time seeing a basketball game. We lost but still had a great time. The food was good also.
These are the seats you WISH you get get for the Thunder games! CLOSE to the action. Very affordable. The game?? Just like watching your Thunder.....LITE. Up and comers working to land permanently with the big club. On this night, NBA dunk champion Diallo put on a show, leading the Blue to a comfortable win over the Miami Heat farm club- Sioux Falls Skyforce! Enjoyed it!!
We had a great time! Small arena so there’s not a bad seat in the house. We will go again for sure.
