A generational trio, a lost dynasty: how the Thunder dream crumbled – and what rose from the ashes

Alberto Clemente,Calum Roche — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:57:30 GMT

They were going to conquer the world. The NBA’s next great dynasty. They were meant to own the skies. But each one chose a different path, and now all three are under scrutiny from anyone who watches basketball. It’s been years since Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden arrived in Oklahoma City – in 2007, 2008 and 2009 respectively – to chase history. Drafted at No. 2, 4 and 3, they were the pillars of a full rebuild orchestrated by Sam Presti in search of a title. A once-in-a-generation talent, a point guard built like a tank, and a shooting guard who scored at will. Surrounded by role players like Serge Ibaka, Kendrick Perkins and Derek Fisher, coached by Scott Brooks, they formed a superteam in the making – one that ultimately collapsed under the weight of its own promise, falling short of that one prize everyone in the NBA chases: the ring.

Why do some clouds disappear during a solar eclipse?

Andy Hall — Mon, 08 Apr 2024 17:01:13 GMT

There have been eight eclipses worldwide since 1990 but the last total solar eclipse occurred on 11 August 1999. For those who remember, it was a strange experience - clear blue skies darkened, ebbing into a dull color followed by an eerie silence - wildlife and in particular birds, who provide a constant audible backdrop to our lives, seemed to vanish out of sight, neither seen nor heard. Where did they go? What was it about the eclipse that disturbed them? One theory is that animals perceive the drop in light and temperature to signal that night is about to fall.
