The “Thunder Way”

Kevin Durant. James Harden. Serge Ibaka. Reggie Jackson.

All groomed by the Oklahoma City Thunder. All continuing their basketball careers elsewhere. The Thunder’s front office was built on the strength of general manager Sam Presti. Presti was plucked from the San Antonio Spurs after serving eight years under R.C. Buford and Gregg Popovich. The belief was that Presti would be able to recreate the Spurs success with the Thunder nee Seattle Supersonics.

Since taking over the team in the 2007-08 NBA season, no team has drafted a more talented collection of players than Thunder general manager, Sam Presti.
