The OKC Thunder Were Not Supposed To Do THIS…
In the 2020 offseason, the Oklahoma City Thunder began a rebuild for the first time in franchise history. Less than four years later, they’re in the drivers seat to land the number one seed in a stacked Western Conference ahead of preseason favorites like the Denver Nuggets, Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, and more. They’re one of the youngest teams in the like, it’s a roster of guys who were often doubted throughout their careers, and they continue to be doubted, and this is just the beginning for them. With still plenty of draft picks, rising stars in Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams, and a superstar in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The Thunder are incredibly dangerous both now and in the future. Let’s talk about it.

First!!!!
we up ⛈
I’ve become a fan of okc thru your passion for this team 😌
🔥🔥🔥
Do you think the Mavs are going to hand the Thunder the 1st seed to avoid Denver untill the conference finals?
As a fellow Thunder fan, I feel that at the moment we might be slightly geared more towards the regular season than the playoffs and had us finishing 3rd in the West at the start of the season behind the Nuggets and the Suns.
Man okc and mn succeeded heavily like both were play in teams last year people forget ts and they have 56 wins and people keep doubting them
SGA is not carrying OKC. He is their best player, but they are a hell of a team. Chet deserves so much more credit than he is getting.
In the entire league:
Chet is 18th in total rebounds
Chet 2nd in total blocks (5th in Blocks per game)
Jaylin Williams 8th in 3point %
Isaiah Joe 12th in 3point %
Chet 19th in true shooting %
Chet 16th in win shares
Chet 12th in defensive rating
Cason Wallace 14th in steals per 100 possessions
Josh Giddy 8th in triple doubles
Crazy they are tied for the 1 seed i cant see them going past the 2nd round though
I’m proud of this team for what they’ve accomplished 😊
I have been a thunders fan since the 2011-12 nba season this playoffs hopefully will be the best for the thunders
Industry plant is CRAZY 😂
Awesome video cone! I thought the thunder would be a 5-8 seed in the playoffs before the season! My brothers and I are Thunder fans here in Michigan! Our mom was born in Oklahoma
Would like to see Mavs vs Thunder in Western conference if possible. I would like to see the Thunder go far and I'm a Mavs fan so… of course I want the Mavs there. As much as Denver is the betting favourite, I think things could go a lot different than people expect. I wouldn't bet on this match-up, I just think it'd be cool and isn't out of the question.
I’ve definitely been a Thunder fan because of you Cone, being a wizards fan is a hard life 😂
I had them as a top 4 seed but 56 wins and share of 1st with a game to go was still unexpected
Is he from OKC? Why is he glazing so hard
Was waiting for this video to drop…
As a fellow long time thunder fan. I was expecting 42 40
Nobody was expecting this team to be this good. Anyone expecting them to be top 4, let alone FIRST, at the beginning of the season is insane.
You’re a genuine and true okc fan but slightly disrespectful to call yourself the biggest okc fan when you aren’t even from Oklahoma. There’s a lot of passionate fans down here that don’t have any other professional sports teams to cheer for. The exact reason okc home games are always so loud
Are you intentionally like not mentioning josh diddy in this vlog? Dhude that’s bad!
From a Spurs fan y’all welcome
I figured this would be their breakout year and they’d be a top 4 seed, but I’m not confident in them for the playoffs.
Man this Thunder team is just amazing and blew my expectations out the water, especially because because both my dad and I wanted to see him play in his first season and now he's just incredible
Even now people say your glazing 😭😭😭
No matter what the playoffs bring. Its been a huge success. Still stacked on drafts and can readjust their future approach.
I'm a die-hard Thunder fan & predicted 49 wins, but 56, 57 is another level. After Chets poor Summer League, I thought he'd struggle offensively for the first 2mos. Plus, I figured Chet would rest on Back to Backs. I never thought Wiggs would be 3rd for non-Bigs in TS%.
Y'all might not agree with me but Dwight Howard would be a great addition to the team
The same ppl that said OKC wouldnt win that many games are the same ppl that said the Lakers were gonna win 60 games. I’m a Lakers fan and even i knew we werent gonna win that many games😂
Same birthday big fella
Jesus love you follow him because he loves you all! Great video cone!!!
Remember when the thunder were getting crazy hate cause the rebuild was "taking too long"? 🤣🤣🤣
