How Oklahoma City Celebrates The Thunder With Creative Coffee

Oklahoma is buzzing with the Thunder in the NBA Finals. The Oklahoma City Thunder currently only need one more win to clinch the title. One of the main topics of this year's NBA Finals has been the dedication of the Thunder's fans. And Oklahoma residents are celebrating and supporting the Thunder in multiple ways with apparel, baked goods and even steamed drinks with the players' faces embossed in the foam.

Modern Berry Company in Oklahoma City has been serving up hot lattes to Thunder fans with their choice of a Thunder player embossed in the foam. That's right. You can pick anywhere from a hot latte to a hot chai and have either MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander or Jalen Williams to go with it.

Modern Berry Company has a latte printer that allows them to print any design on foamed milk. But their latest foam printing of the Thunder players has taken Oklahoma City and the internet by storm.

TikTok sound about a Shai Gilgeous-Alexander latte is trending in Oklahoma.

Modern Berry's Thunder embossed lattes began gaining traction on the internet when a sound from a TikTok video started going viral in Oklahoma. In the original TikTok, posted by @rcderrick, a girl asks, "Ravi, why haven't you taken a sip of your Shai Gilgeous-Alexander chai tea latte?"
