Shams Charania was very surprised that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander didn't receive a single vote for best player right now in ESPN's survey.
“The year he just had MVP, West Finals MVP, NBA Finals MVP...There's a lot of things you can put on there that says he's the best player.”

Let the disrespect fuel you. Last year was a fluke. The title has an asterisk. Your MVP was stolen. You’re a foul merchant. The bulletin board is full, and the cabinet is about to be too. Thunder in 5 🤣

Tyson Chandler on the rescinded trade that would have sent him to OKC:
“The doctor there flagged my physical... Our games match better… On top of that, our styles match…I honestly think we get 2-3 championships, 2 minimum... We would've been a problem.”

Fadeaway World’s JT Shemanski predicts the Thunder to have the best defense in the NBA for the 2025-26 season.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have a very well-rounded defense that was historically great last season. They’ll be bringing back a nearly identical team, so there’s no reason to believe they won’t be the best defense again for this next season.”
