oklahoma city thunder

Oklahoma City guard Reggie Jackson made some thunder of his own when he threw down a spectacular dunk over Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried at the Pepsi Center last night.  Denver won the game 101-88 but let's just say that Faried won't soon forget being dunked on by the shorter Jackson…
