The Oklahoma City Thunder are looking like one of the scariest teams in the NBA for the 2024-25 season ahead. The ball club is poised to start their campaign as among the highest-regarded teams in the league’s Western Conference, and after their play in the season prior, it is not hard to understand why.
Despite being one of the youngest clubs in the Association for the 2023-24 season, the Thunder finished the season with the best record in the West. And then in the 2024 NBA Playoffs, OKC made some noise as well, making the second round before falling to the eventual runners-up in the Dallas Mavericks in six games.
The growth of star guard Shai Gilgeous Alexander, forward Jalen Williams and rising star big man Chet Holmgren have put the Thunder in pole position entering the coming season. Take a look at the clip embedded below from the folks behind the “Backyard Buckets” YouTube channel to hear why.
