Isaiah Hartenstein Full Introductory Media Availability | July 6, 2024 | OKC Thunder 

Being a fan of OKC has certainly been a ride, but I can say I’m highly impressed by the work the organization has put in to make this a viable place to have an NBA team. The Thunder organization and supporters deserves a lot of credit for ensuring professional basketball can exist here in the heartland for many more years to come!

Already dude

Nah u guys aint goijg nowhere he aimt that good

@@sadknicksfan3099 shut up and go put my fries in the back lil bro

I like Hartenstein, he hustled and is a pretty good rebounder but the dude is not worth all that money lmao not even close. He was in the perfect system for him to succeed. You guys got duped yall are gonna be PISSED 😂

@@ericstaudt2991 Sam presti does not make bad signings he obviously sees something in hartenstein plus he fits OKC way better than he does the Knicks because OKC’s offense is constant movement and cutting and he’ll get tons open looks at the rim because of Shai and Jdub and like he said he’s planning to expand his offensive game next year because thibs didn’t allow him to do that in New York add that to him already being a great defender he was one of the best big defenders last season and was 3rd in stocks behind Chet who he is now playing with 💀 to me it just sounds like you a. Salty Knicks fan and your mad we took your guy 😭

Hes an iron man. Dont remember him missing many games w the clippers and the knicks

Honestly, he has been for years but ppl are sleeping on it. Back with the Clippers they ran a lot of plays through him, in NY it wasn't really his role as much.

@@kayonzo4833 lol yes it was. It was a huge part of his game on the Knicks.

He's definitely one of the best big passers in the league indisputable. And I'm sure he ran into some road blocks in NY bc of Mitch. As a Knicks fan, I want to see him progress into an even better player! The good thing w Hart is he actually wants it!

​@@kayonzo4833what do you mean 😂 They ran plays almost exclusively thru him whenever he was on the floor for the knicks. 🥴

I’m ready bro, I saw how much he meant to NY and OKC is ready to take him in!

We'll take good care of him, and I have no doubt he'll do the same....this guy plays his a$$ off and it's gonna make us much better.

He was already one of my favorite non-OKC players. I'm so excited he is here now

​@@MJ-pk4ghplaying his a*ss off is his middle name! Our loss is definitely your gain! 🫡

Hell yeah. Glad to hear it. Good luck to you guys.

He does not do that

Him not shooting 3s was what made him so valuable for the Knicks. Very good rebounder. Has a very good floater. He will definitely keep okc in contention in the west.

They have the potential to be unstoppable even if he doesn’t do that 😤

@@geromemanicia3809 we got the best 3 point training staff in the league trust the process

watch game 7 ny vs indy, gives you a perfect preview of your new ....

I'm so excited, it was funny when he blushed when they said he's our biggest signing in FA history but it's true this doesn't happen 😂 😂

It was great on the Knicks on his walk year

2nd found exit loading you not getting passed The Mavs. Isiah will be taken out the box 😂

He sold out

@@djjaramillo3681nooo he didn’t. He knew the opportunity for a championship was real here, and he got a great deal to live in OKC for cheap compared to NYC.

Crazy 2nd round exit calm down

@@ClutchupGolf lmfaoo 😭

@@dg2379 lmao nahh bro actually it’s going to be a good season I’m exciting to see both teams no lies. Obviously mainly the Mavs.,

😩😭

Man I feel that! My east team to my west team. I was devastated but Lowkey hype he came to my other team. Nova2.0 gonna be nice for us tho!

@@brandontammany6956 For sure we need a starting center now though Mitch better off the bench cause of injury concerns😪 ECF though!

@@brandontammany6956THIS

Yall are looking crazy too😭imma be watching a ton of Knicks games

😂😂

Exactly!

Not really. The Knicks went after Mikal Bridges and couldn’t sign Hart and give him what he was due in free agency.

we couldn’t offer him more than 4/72 bc of early bird rights

No, but something does look off.

Nope, it's the usual logo.

I didn't know that... Shai in the Garden would've been OD

@@ishyameru6232 yep. I was rooting for them to take Shai or Mikal Bridges, who went in the picks directly after Knicks took Knox. One is about to be a perennial MVP candidate and the other they just traded 5 1st rd picks + for 😂 Kevin Knox meanwhile is in the G league ☠

It's gettin ridiculous all around in every sport. Some guys are getting money that would have bought a team 15 years ago lol.

Brunson is focused on getting his first chip..He ain't worried about the bag yet..he knows he will get a lot when the time comes.😊😅

@@Diaghol as opposed to Isaiah? Whats your point?

@@ChristopherSmithNYCU sleeping...Brunson is about to take a pay cut so he can stay with his boys. A lot of teams wouldn't mind giving Brunson 300M for 5 years right now. He is worth it 👌 .

They have more fans than the KNICKS! That's for sure!

@@MJ-pk4gh I'm not so sure about that buddy. Everyone knows the teams are the Lakers, Celtics and the Knicks Knicks fans the loudest. Maybe when they were the Seattle SuperSonics they had some fans

Naah...he was making 2M a year in LA but still lived there for a min. NY gave him 9M a year on his last contract that's enough money to live a good life anywhere in the world 🌎

@Diaghol it stretches alot better in OKC

you know ball

3 yr 87 mill yea he better be 😂

@@TheAtman12we were 1st in the west by playing 5 out and being small. Were just switching giddey with caruso in our staring lineup we should still be one of the best teams. Ihart will play starter minutes off the bench giving us alot of different and versatile lineup( big with chet and ihart, or just dub and ihart running the second unit etc..)

​@@Aaronwigginssavedbasketballbro you dont pay a guy nearly $30 mill a year to come off the bench 😂😂

@@mduar1000start over whom? Yall seem to forget okc LOVES chett at the 5. IHart doesn’t have to start, he will get his minutes. But he isn’t going to be a starter

@@Treyluster07 doubt it. Chet has to be preserved and not be thrown against those elite centers who can overpower him like nothing. Also in a bball game, the 1st quarter is when everyones the freshest. Its logical to use your better defender against the opposing center than to use chet.

It was part of the interview process 😂

It’s not just the points, it’s also what he can do in the paint, his passing, and defense. With him, OKC will shut down their opponents and get EASY points. They are stacked with starters and also have a bench that can best 80% of starters on other teams. They can plug and play the lineup with so many options that there will be no rest for the opposition. Load management will also be unnecessary in OKC because the depth will allow them to compete without needing someone when they’ve played a back-to-back or 3 in 4. If they can get him shooting from the perimeter then this team will be nasty for EVERYONE! Isaiah will be living the dream in OKC.

I hart is the piece that okc needs and they have the cap space🤷‍♂️

Knicks in the finals? That's a laugh. 😂

@MJ-pk4gh No it's not...The new York Knicks will be in the NBA finals this coming season and they will win it.. Start eating ur heart out.

@@Diaghol Your roster might be good but with Mitchell Robinson being injury prone the Center depth might be really lacking unless if they somehow trade for walker kessler

@TheCook43 Jericho Sims and Ukrainian dude are the back up centers.

That's a laugh. If his heart was in NY, he'd still be there. Trust me, his ❤ was never in NY, and neither was his wife's. Otherwise, they'd still be there. OKC rescued them, and now their kids won't have to grow up in a wasteland. 😆

Knicks suck nuts. You weren't even born last time they were good. 😂😂

More people watch the Thunder than the KNICKS. That's for sure. 😆

@@MJ-pk4gh You need to be drug tested, lmao

Lmao got your player. Think the Knicks can win it all without him? I doubt it tbh

Settle down son! He made a good decision.

You're right about one thing though. He won't shine the same in OKC.....he'll shine brighter! 😆

@@ctoaun23we didn’t want to pay him he didn’t deserve the money he wanted as a Knick and he knows it that’s why he left

@@MJ-pk4ghI’m settled father just don’t like greedy players

Obviously you’re young and don’t know much about basketball. The Maximum New York was able to offer IHART was 17.8 million per year for 4 years due to the bird rights rule OKC had to give him almost 30 million per year to get him to leave New York. Bottom line is that he does not want to be In OKC , HE IS ONLY THERE FOR THE MONEY . HE WANTS TO BE IN NEW YORK !!

Sorry bro, but no he doesn't. If he really wanted to be in New York, he'd still be there. He and his wife are probably already starting to realize that they just did their kids a huge favor. 😆

Google 87 million.

Nobody wants to live in that shithole called new york.

Is bozos code for smart people?
