The Oklahoma City Thunder hold the best record in the entire NBA, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is leading the way once again.
However, Isaiah Hartenstein’s contributions should not be overlooked.
The Thunder big man is playing a pivotal role for a team that is finding no shortage of success.
The 27-year-old joined Oklahoma City for the 2024-25 campaign and immediately provided a positive impact on the roster. He ended up helping the Thunder en route to the 2025 NBA Finals, and, though he was not the best player on the team by any means, the ball club won a championship with his key contributions.
