The Thunder Might Be the BEST Team in NBA HISTORY
The Oklahoma City Thunder just destroyed the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors and have been dominating the NBA to start this season behind more MVP play from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, elite play from Chet Holmgren, lockdown defense from everyone on the roster, and they haven’t even had Jalen Williams yet this season. They’re 12-1 and seem poised to repeat and rival the best teams ever like the Michael Jordan Bulls and the Kevin Durant and Steph Curry Warriors. Not to mention they might get a top five pick from the Los Angeles Clippers.

I will say that you guys have been pretty lucky with a pretty easy schedule overall. Most of the teams are okay, but the only real contender you played brought you to a double overtime (no I don't count the lakers as a contender).
Also it's weird that you say you've improved as a passing team, because you're ranking pretty bad on every passing metric I've seen except turnovers. I haven't watched every game like you probably have but I've watched probably 6 or 7 so far and you don't seem THAT good at passing. It's mostly just SGA cooking with the ball and Mitchell when SGA's on the bench.
Not hating, just keeping you honest about your team because we all get a bit biased sometimes. Love the videos ❤
Stop the 🧢. They werent the reigning champions if the refs didnt save you in the finals or if Denver had more than one healthy body next to Jokic. Nice start of the season, stop the bs titles.
I’m worried about Dort and hartenstein next year
This is looking like the 2015-2016 Warriors all over again, hopefully they finish it out should they make the finals
NO CAP 🧢
I love the OKC I know I'm a nets fan but that game was so good. OKC didn't just destroy the Laker. They made that look like a high school team lol. My mom love this team and I always love seeing this them play. Great defense. Good offense like it is hard to go against these guys. They will completely force turn over. Shai will drop like 30 points. Ajay Mitchell was great I always knew he will be really good and they don't have J-dub yet this team is insane
why must the headline nowadays be so sensational? can't you just say like in a league of its own this season? best team in nba HISTORY is like comparing to 73 win Warriors adding KD, the 3 peat lakers in 2000-2002, the bulls MJ 3 peat, etc, when so many players on this OKC team hasn't even peak yet.
IN HISTORY????? GYFOH BULLS 90S WARRIORS 2000S LAKERS KOBE DUDE GTFOH TODAYS MODERN NBA PLAYERS YOU D EM UP OLD SCHOOL LIKE LAST NIGHT AND THEY AINT SHIT….
Okc have 4 first round picks in this draft class
BOSTON CELTICS GOT OVERTHROWN BY THE THUNDER WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!
Steph and KD warriors will always be the best team ever assembled
LMAOOOO Chill! I get it though, but chill lmao
You forgot about the 73 wins warriors, the kd warriors !
Nuggets: Hold my beer 😂
ALL the credit goes to the GM and scouting vision…. With amazing trades and an eye on the future for YEARS to come.
Best team tho? Its too early and their opponents are sus so far. Injuries etc are still to come. You dont know if they are best team till its over.
Got win 3 in a row before you start comparing yourself to history. Or at least 3 titles w the same core.
You are cooking buddy🎉🎉🎉
They played 13 games, lost 1, won 2 games in OT. How can they beat The Warriors record??
Cfbr
I don't think they're beatable. The only team with a chance is Denver if they get an all-time performance from Jokic.
Just came here to say repeat this after they won 7 chips. I’ll be waiting lol.
Thunder homer.
Not saying they’re better by any means, but I’m most interested in seeing this Thunder team match up with the Wolves. They’ve been hitting their stride defensively, and they’ve seen a ton of improvement offensively from their non-Ant players (not to mention Randle getting back to All-NBA form). As far as SGA rivals go, Ant has always been the most intriguing to me because of how they consistently improve and approach the game. Don’t be surprised if these two teams are playing a long series in the conference finals!
Side note: I love seeing a small market franchise like the Thunder get their time after the KD saga. They’ve definitely looked better this season, and it’s hard to imagine ANYONE beating them (aside from a final form Ant or Wemby 😂).
It’s so dumb that the only reason ppl think they can’t repeat is bc it hasn’t happened in a while… like cmon
I’d really wished OKC brought back Westbrook. Nothing would have made Thunder and all NBA fans more happy than seeing Russ holding up that chip
They are certainly a great team and appear to be light years better than the rest of the league currently, but STOP IT!!!! Win multiple titles first. Start a dynasty before proclaiming your team the best ever. Show some effin respect for the greats who have already done it, and maybe a little less naivette about what it takes to sustain greatness. OKC has a chance, but tap the brakes.
First 4 peat outside of bill russell and the celtics
OKC is a very deep team quality wise
Lakers fans gotta understand. Luka LeBron and regular season only performer AR isn’t getting you to the finals 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Someone stop them
Probably the best Thunder team ever assembled. Not such how Sam Presti is going to top this.
I'm a thunder hater and I agree with this title the other 29 teams gotta come together and stop this
I think they'll match the Dubs record, 73-9, as they will rest guys toward the end of the regular season. Like others have said. they are doing this without an All-NBA player in J-Dub, an All-NBA First Team All-Defensive selection in Dort, another guy who can get you 20+ if needed with Wiggins, and a versatile Front Court guy with Kenny Hustle. Besides their starting five, they have about another seven who are starters on other teams. Imagine if Sorber and Topic (prayers are with him) were available as well! Geez!
Why is it every time the Cavs are a contender they run into an all time great team lmao. Spurs, Warriors, Thunder… However I can't really worry about the Thunder when they haven't made it out the East yet.
The thunder starters didn’t play like 6/7 4th quarters. If they did, their defensive and offensive numbers would be even better ..PLUS NO JDUB !
Ayyyyyyyeeee c9ne you forgot to mention mobley was also out, 3 of our 4 best players
Barnhizer. Straight up lumberjack.
IM NOT READY TO SAY THEY ARE THE BEST TEAM IN NBA HISTORY😳BUT I WILL ADMIT AFTER WATCHING LAST YEARS PLAYOFFS I DID GET THE FEELING THAT LAST YEAR WAS THE FIRST RING OF THE NEXT BIG NBA DYNASTY💯
I WAS A NON BELIEVER IN THE THUNDER UNTIL THEY PROVED IT💯LAST POST SEASON JUST WATCHING THEIR DEFENSE WAS INCREDIBLE I WOULT NOT BE SURPRISED OF SGA WINS MULTIPLE RINGS BEFORE 2030
SGA and all that foul baiting as part of the teams strategie ok
