There's no denying this guy is part of Sooner Nation.
Jake Amy from Edmond, Oklahoma, on Thursday night made a half-court shot to win $20,000 during an Oklahoma City Thunder game. The shot initially rattled out, then dropped back in through the rim. Then the celebration ensued.
Amy obviously went nuts. He ran through Rumble (the mascot), yelled toward the crowd, clapped a few times, and then, of course, threw up Horns Down.
Cash money! π°

This moment was also a little sweeter considering the Thunder were playing the Dallas Mavericks, so if there were in any visitors at Paycom Center, there's a good chance they were also Texas Longhorns fans. What a way to hurt their fragile feelings and ruin a win for them.
Winning big during a game for Oklahoma's only major professional sports team then flashing Horns Down is really peaking as an Oklahoman. Sooner Nation also enjoyed everything about the moment.
