In a moment that blended faith and basketball history, Pastor Ronnie Fields of First Christian Church in Guthrie had the honor of delivering the invocation before Game 7 of the NBA Finals—the very game that saw the Oklahoma City Thunder crowned world champions.
Fields, a familiar face within the Thunder community, has offered several prayers for the team over the years, but none carried more weight than the one before the final showdown. As thousands of fans filled the arena and millions more tuned in across the country, his words set the tone for a night of unity, intensity, and triumph.
The Thunder went on to win the game and secure their first NBA championship, etching their place in league history and igniting celebrations across Oklahoma.
Back home in Guthrie, members of Fields’ congregation at First Christian Church couldn’t be prouder. “We’ve always known Pastor Fields had a gift, but seeing him share it on that level gave us all chills,” said one church member.
As the Thunder bask in their championship glory, Fields’ invocation will be remembered as a meaningful part of a historic night—another sign of the deep bond between Oklahoma’s communities and its beloved team.
