Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder was never too inexperienced after all. It was who it thought it was. An NBA champion.

The Thunder have notoriously good player development, which could bode well for their group of undrafted talents during the summer.

With such a large crowd forecasted for Tuesday's OKC Thunder Championship Parade, how does it compare to Oklahoma City's population?

The Oklahoma City Thunder have announced their 2025 Summer League roster. Like usual, they will participate in Salt Lake City and Las Vegas for at least eight games during the two-week extravaganza.

Despite the immense crowd downtown at the OKC Thunder Champions Parade, police reported a comparatively low number of arrests during the celebration.

Given how young the Thunder is, how indoctrinated the players are in Mark Daigneault’s “zero and zero” mentality, I’d be awfully surprised if complacency proves to be OKC’s downfall.

While the number of people in attendance was the largest single gathering in OKC history, there was some debate over whether the crowd was impressive.

Gilgeous-Alexander agreed to terms on a four-year, $285 million contract extension with the Thunder on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

The Oklahoma City Thunder will introduce 2025 NBA Draft picks Thomas Sorber and Brooks Barnhizer on Saturday.

Slow the roll on the OKC Thunder dynasty talk and soak in the present. Winning the NBA title is hard, and as Aaron Wiggins said, there’s no promise it happens again.
