The Oklahoma City Thunder added its name to the list of NBA Championships on Sunday evening in front of its home fans.
The NBA has now crowned a new champion for the seventh consecutive season.
While it’s the first NBA championship for players such as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren, it’s not the first Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy for the franchise.
The franchise won its first NBA championship in 1979 as the Seattle SuperSonics. Since relocating in 2008, Oklahoma City had only made one other Finals appearance, in 2012.
