It’s the dream come true of any professional NBA dancer: your team making it all the way. And now the Oklahoma City Thunder has made it to the Finals, and their dance squad is ready to root them on, starting in their home arena.
The Thunder and the Indiana Pacers square off beginning Thursday, June 5 in Oklahoma.
And the Thunder Entertainers are ready and amped.
“IT’S FINALS DAY OKC ⚡️⚡️⚡️,” dancer (and school teacher) Isabella “Bella” Shibley captioned a Game Day Instagram post. “Thunder Uppp 🏀.”
“This is so cool, Bella!” commented fellow Thunder dancer Zoey Taylor. “What an amazing experience! Have fun tonight and cheer loud. #ThunderUp.” Their squadmate Cerena Chaney agreed, “So beautiful, sister!!!,” as did another teammate, Kaylee Pike: “hottttt.”
The Thunder Entertainers consist of a varied crew of male and female dancers and cheerleaders. And as a way of building morale and creating personal connection, the group posts solo portraits of its members.
Some recent ones include a shout-out to the team’s partnership with Glo Tanning and Haus Salon and Extension Bar. And look out for the common quips “stay weather aware” and “thunderstorm coming in.”
Other stand-outs include Bri Patterson, Zoey Taylor and model Kaylee Pike. “We’re going to the NBA FINALS!!!!🥹💙🤭,” Pike celebrated in a recent Instagram share. “Let’s go OKC!!!”
“Suddenly a Thunder fan when you stepped on their court,” commented one fan. “YES FINALS,” raved a second. Said a third, “WOOP WOOP.”
