The former Oklahoma City Thunder player for 11 years before being traded to Houston in July 2019, tweeted “ spending 11 years in Oklahoma opened my eyes to the rich and sordid history of the state…I learned about the heartbreaking events that happened in Tulsa nearly 100 years ago, I knew this was a story I wanted to tell.”
