You only played a few months for the Thunder. How did it feel when the team invited you back for the alumni weekend? Caron Butler: It meant a lot. I elected to go to OKC just because there was something that was super intriguing about the culture. You see the fan base. You see the excitement. It was one of those environments that felt like a college feel. Being on the opposing team, I felt that energy. I saw how they were committed to their players and how the players were committed to their fans … They appreciate the little things, which are huge things.
