Product placement
Oklahoma City Thunder (team): acts - the team is the subject of the video's criticism and discussion. Removing the name would change the video's subject. James Harden (player): acts - mentioned as an example of a player whose actions were egregious. Removing his name would change the example used. Caruso (player): acts - mentioned as a player whose likability was affected by the team's actions. Removing his name would change the example used. Vassell (player): acts - mentioned as a player who had the decency not to do something egregious. Removing his name would change the example used.
