After the first week of NBA basketball to kick off a brand new season, the reigning champions are still unbeaten. It hasn’t been easy, though, and Oklahoma City

The OKC Thunder finished its three-game road trip with a win over the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. Here are three takeaways.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have a true superstar with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and his playmaking has become a huge evolution to his game recently.

The superstar who stayed in OKC for 11 years has spent time on the Houston Rockets, Washington Wizards, Los Angeles Lakers, LA Clippers and Denver Nuggets since leaving the Thunder. During his one season in Denver, Westbrook matched up against Oklahoma City in the midst of its title run, causing a range of emotions for the Thunder crowd.

The championship rings also depict the Gates of Time and Reflecting Pool at the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum, set with sapphires.

There are several ways to relate just how big hailstones are during a severe weather situation, but KOCO 5 Chief Meteorologist Damon Lane found a fun new one for Oklahoma City Thunder fans.

The Oklahoma City Blue were busy in the NBA G League draft, walk away with a couple selections while seeing former forward - and NBA Champion - Dillon Jones selected with the top spot.

One thing that OKC Thunder players were excited about before the start of the 2025-26 season: receiving their championship rings.

When the OKC Thunder won its first NBA championship in June, school was out, so students in OKC are celebrating the win at the team's season opener.
