The Thunder lift the Larry O’Brien Trophy after winning Game 7
The Oklahoma City Thunder have stunned the basketball world with their meteoric rise from a rebuilding team full of rookies to serious NBA title contenders. Once seen as too young and inexperienced, the Thunder defied all odds with bold trades, disciplined coaching, and the breakout stardom of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
With the youngest roster in the league, Oklahoma City wasn’t expected to make a deep playoff run. But their unmatched chemistry, relentless defense, and fearless style of play turned them into a nightmare for even the most seasoned teams. Their playoff journey not only electrified fans but also sent a clear message: the Thunder are not just building for the future — they’ve arrived.
From draft strategies to player development, everything seems to be falling into place for OKC. And with even more draft picks and cap space on the horizon, the Thunder’s future looks as bright as ever.
