The Oklahoma City Thunder have benefited from playing in the Western Conference according to Sam Presti who held his preseason media availability on Sunday.
Iron Sharpens Iron as the old saying goes, which is an adage Oklahoma City Thunder executive Sam Presti clearly believes in.
Becoming the youngest ever squad to accomplish such a feat, Presti tabbed the grizzled Western Conference road as a reason why this young squad was prepared to compete at the highest level - and has returned to contender status so soon. "But the Western Conference I think sharpens the blade in a way that's very unique. I think it may have helped us make some of these jumps. So when people go from how do you go from 16 -- whatever it is, make a 16-game jump and then another jump the next year, the answer is a lot of good fortune and hard work from the players and the coaches," Presti continued
