OKC Thunder's Championship Culture on Full Display in Summer League

On Saturday, when the mini playoffs begin, Oklahoma City will be the No. 2 seed in the tournament. It hasn't always been pretty, but this Thunder Summer League squad has found a way to win at all costs — much like the real roster all season long.

Oklahoma City Thunder's perfect move in 2025 NBA offseason

The Oklahoma City Thunder will have a target on their back next season following their impressive title run, capturing the franchise's first Larry O'Brien trophy since 1979, when they were still the Seattle Supersonics. The Thunder really came into their own last season, topping the Western Conference with a 68-14 win-loss card, the best finish in team history. With a shiny new championship in their trophy case, the Thunder's most significant move in the offseason was locking up their core with lucrative extensions. Gilgeous-Alexander agreed to a four-year deal worth $285 million, Jalen Williams signed a five-year contract for $287 million, and Chet Holmgren consented to a five-year contract worth $250 million.
