What OKC Thunder Should Be THANKFUL For

Oklahoma City Thunder fans have plenty to celebrate this season—Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s spectacular three-point leap, Chet Holmgren’s evolving inside-out game, and Ajay Mitchell’s breakout campaign have fueled OKC’s surge up the Western Conference rankings. With Chris Paul announcing his retirement, hosts Rylan Stiles and Michael Martin reflect on CP3’s enduring legacy in Oklahoma City, debate how the Thunder might honor him, and discuss whether a jersey retirement or statue is warranted.

Major topics include the Thunder’s improved playmaking, Isaiah Hartenstein’s critical role in the rotation, and the importance of Kayson Wallace’s defensive impact. The hosts also break down OKC’s fortunate draft outlook sparked by the Clippers’ struggles and evaluate how a forgiving early schedule has given the Thunder a playoff cushion. Will this young core capitalize on their momentum and depth as the season intensifies? Tune in for sharp analysis, bold hot takes, and key storylines developing in Bricktown.
