The Very Best of @7A_NBA

Sometimes it’s more entertaining when you don’t understand

One of the best parts about running Up The Thunder is the unique opportunity to connect with Thunder fans all over the world. Sports is one of those things that has an ability to bring people closer together — and we’ve taken advantage of that while meeting/interacting with people from all walks of life. It’s a blessing.

When we started the account a couple years ago, one of the first people that followed us/we followed back goes by the name of @7A_NBA. To date, I can’t say I’ve ever seen a tweet from this account in English — but that’s become the best part. Whoever this person is, they have an uncanny ability to sketch hilarious pictures of Russell Westbrook & Kevin Durant’s relationship. I’ve spent hours marveling at these….even though the captions and tweets are 100% in Japanese.

As you’ll see, in most of the photos KD is the Mom/Dad, while Russ is the son/child. There was also a period of time where Russ was a cat, but without context, we weren’t exactly sure what was going on with that. Nonetheless, I wanted to share a few of my favorite drawings and strongly suggest you give this account a follow. You may not be able to read Japanese, but the images speak for themselves.


Just horsing around.
It’s the simple things. Like watching ants.
They coming.
Enjoying a lovely day of painting.
KD to the rescue.
I just wish I knew what he was reading to him.
Enjoying the great outdoors.
I feel like there is a Black Mamba reference in there somewhere.
We’ve all been in this kind of trouble.
Trying to fight Rocky, the Nuggets’ mascot. Spot on.
“Get down from there!”
“He can walk!….Oh God he can run!”
This appears to be a Parent/Teacher conference. And Russ is in trouble.
When your kid dresses himself.

Just all really fantastic stuff, and there is so much more of it. If you would like to check it out, visit the website.
