The Oklahoma City Thunder take on the San Antonio Spurs again Thursday night in the Western Conference Finals.

Charles Barkley is in town for game three. Folks across our state are trying to win him over with kindness, plus the best of Oklahoma.

"We wanted to make sure it had the Thunder blue on the top. And we wanted to make it just special for Charles. So we put his initials here. And then as you can see the number that he played with," said Kyle Loveless, owner of Loveless Boots, who created Charles Barkley's boots.

During the pre-game on Thursday night, Governor Mary Fallin will present Barkley with these special cowboy boots with a Thunder flare.

The ostrich soled, alligator skin boots were made right here in Oklahoma City and are worth about $1,500.

Game three will hopefully give the Thunder a home court advantage. They've lost the first two games, and need to win four of the final five games to get to the finals.

Tip-off is at 8 p.m. Thursday.
