Isaiah Hartenstein was born in 1998, three years after Oklahoma City changed forever.

It was April 19, 1995, when a truck bomb detonated outside a federal building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people in the deadliest homegrown attack on U.S. soil. Hartenstein didn't know much about the bombing when he joined the Oklahoma City Thunder last year.
