The Thunder are unproven, but so were the 2015 Warriors.
People said they were too young. Too early. Not ready.
But the Dubs shattered that narrative and launched a dynasty.
Now, the same questions surround OKC.
Can youth outpace experience in the West?
Can they outlast the Nuggets’ championship core, the Warriors’ battle-tested vets, or maybe survive a playoff series against LeBron and Luka in L.A.?
They haven’t done it yet.
But everything about this team says it’s only a matter of time.
🔹 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (26)
🔹 Jalen Williams (23)
🔹 Chet Holmgren (22)
🔹 Plus a rock-solid bench of homegrown talent
And they’re built to last.
🔸 Cap flexibility to maneuver for years to come
🔸 15 first-round picks and 22 second-round picks over the next 7 years
🔸 Most of the core is still on rookie deals
The last time a team this young shocked the league, it became a dynasty.
The Thunder might be next.
Not just contenders now, but contenders for the next decade. ⚡️⏳
