In a franchise record season marked by resilience, growth, and redemption, the Oklahoma City Thunder have etched their name into basketball history. With a thrilling series win over the Indiana Pacers 4-3 in the NBA Finals, the Thunder are the 2025 NBA Champions. Their first title since the franchise’s relocation to Oklahoma City.
The series was a dogfight from the jump, a back-and-forth battle between two of the league’s youngest and most dynamic squads. But when the lights were brightest, one star shined just a little brighter than the rest: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who was named Finals MVP after averaging 30.3 points, 5.6 assists, and 4.6 rebounds per game over the seven-game stretch.
