Mayor McSelfie stood on a bar in NYC again…

In case you missed it, Mayor McSelfie – the STEVE HOLT! of Oklahoma politics – returned to the same New York City bar last night where he ditched the city council, climbed on a bar, and—after making sure the cameras were rolling—led a scrawny, high-pitched cheer for the Thunder.

We know this because the cell phone cameras were rolling… again.

Check this out:

Listen, I always love to tie the laces of the tennis shoes David Holt’s wearing with his fancy suit, and poke fun at him for being an attention-seeking Goobersmooch – and being only one vote out of nine on the city council – but I’m willing to cut the frequent NYC visitor some slack on this, because just like him, I was also pumped up by Monday's win!

Seriously, wasn't that great?

While McSelfie was leading the crowd like an OSU-at-OKC cheerleader, I was marching around my living room belting out “I got no strings to hold me down!” like Pinocchio.

It’s a shame the cameras weren’t rolling for that one.

Anyway, I know all too well what collapse looks like. I watched the 2016 Thunder blow a 3–1 lead to the Warriors. I even had tickets for Game 6 of the NBA Finals purchased and ready to use but…well... womp womp. But these Wolves aren’t those Warriors, and these Thunder aren’t those Thunder. We're young, stacked, and—thanks to Presti’s video game GM draft hoarding—built for a long, terrifying run that's going to drive the national media nuts.

On that note, I guess another reason I'm going to give Mayor McSelfie a pass here is that all Thunder fans need to have each other’s backs at the moment.

As the “free throw merchant” narrative being pushed by morning cable news jockies, podcasters and other partisan social media fan bases shows, we’re about to enter a solid 10–15 year stretch of OKC becoming one of the most hated franchises in professional sports – a small-market juggernaut that all the other teams will love to hate – so we really need to learn stay together and be supportive of each other.

Well, at least until Mayor Holt drops his mic during the championship parade celebration at Scissortail Park. Then the truce is over. After all, he is just one vote out of nine.

Stay with The Lost Ogle. We’ll keep you advised.
