The NBA’s most valuable player — for the third time. The league’s best regular-season record — for the first time. Western Conference champions and bound for the NBA Finals — for the second time.
In the Oklahoma City Thunder’s 17-year history, no season has proven more electric than 2024-25 — and an NBA championship could be just weeks away.
To celebrate this amazing ride — from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s brilliance to the young squad’s dominance from October to June — The Oklahoman has been working on a commemorative hardcover coffee-table chronicling the season. It’s called “Thunder Up! SGA and OKC Take the NBA by Storm” and will feature exclusive photography and behind-the-scenes stories from The Oklahoman’s award-winning sports team.
