Since arriving in Oklahoma City, the Thunder have had an impressive stretch.
OKC won 50 games in just its second season, reaching the NBA Finals in the team’s fourth season calling the Modern Frontier home. Since then, the team has produced a trio of MVP winners and a number of additional playoff appearances.
In 2024-25, 16 years after the team’s inaugural campaign, the Thunder took home their first NBA championship behind a historic defense and a Finals MVP performance from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
In less than two decades, the Thunder acheived what many teams have been chasing for their entire history, churning out a number of exciting players and reaching the mountaintop.
Now, Oklahoma City is preparing to move into a new arena. The Thunder have started building the new stadium, which is set to open in the summer of 2028. With solid success both on and off the court in a short time frame, OKC has earned praise from national media members.
