BASELINE | OKCThunder Films
In basketball, the BASELINE defines the edge of the court—the boundary where plays can begin, reset, and take shape. In “BASELINE”, that idea extends beyond the game, tracing Oklahoma City Thunder players Chet Holmgren, Cason Wallace, and Jalen Williams back to the high school gyms in Minnesota, Texas, and Arizona where their foundations were built.
Through early footage and personal reflections, the film explores the work habits, expectations, and challenges that defined those formative years—moments that shaped them not only as players, but as people. It’s a look at how discipline, identity, and mindset took hold long before the NBA.
The film also follows the trio as they return to those same gyms, where their jerseys now hang in their honor, offering a powerful full-circle perspective on their growth and the lasting impact of those environments. It’s a story of how far they’ve come—and how much of that journey started in those early spaces.
“BASELINE is about more than basketball—it’s about the moments that shape who you become,” said Dan Mahoney, co-executive producer of OKCThunder Films. “We wanted to capture that pivotal point where everything starts to take form and show how those early experiences continue to influence these players at the highest level.”

This was a terrific piece. Thanks for putting it up on YT. Can't wait to see the guys back on the court!
will yall get yaxel please? and figure out how to beat the spurs
We still believe in you, Chet. Yeah you got punked by Wemby and the Spurs, but it will only make you better. Can’t wait to see you bounce back in a big way.
This state has always been hated for every reason. This team is no different. While everyone might say what they say, just know we in the state appreciate all you do off the court. Love you guys. ❤
I hope this means you're paying CASO!!! And keeping Krich!!
Dub is so great man, 100% sure that he will come back stronger from this injured season. 💪🏽
Shootout Chet and Caso too, very fortunate to have this trio on my team.⚡️💙
SPURS IN 7
up up
Really need to let Chet play the Center, and pls extend Cason's contract and let him play the starter
I would’ve given anything to have this much maturity at such a young age —and they’re also pretty great basketball players!
Go thunder
