W ith the countdown to Thunder Basketball's return slipping to 21 days, the suspense for the upcoming season continues to build. OKC fans took their first look at the new-look Thunder roster at this year's Thunder Media Day.

The lights, cameras and action were nothing new for most players as they welcomed each other back home, but for a certain young player it was a first he'll never forget.

Darius Bazley, the youngest Thunder player, entered the arena and looked about with awe. He asked how many fans fit in the arena. He took a moment to imagine the 18,203 cheers and was ready to take on Media Day.

Here is a behind-the-scenes look from this year's Thunder Media Day with Darius Bazley.
