A new era has dawned in Oklahoma City. The city that just got its first ever major sports franchise just a couple years ago is now in a position where they're about to enjoy a competitive basketball team for the years to come.
This is all predicated on the fact that Kevin Durant remains part of the Thunder, but assuming he does, this team will be a force to be reckoned with for quite some time.
After getting out to a 5-31 start in their first 36 games last season, the team started out this year with an 19-17 record, easily the biggest turnaround in basketball and probably the biggest one in all of pro sports.
What is the secret to the team's success this year? It all has to do with a true superstar in the making, Kevin Durant.
While we're used to hearing about Kobe and LeBron these days, a new superstar is quietly making a name for himself, and the winning ways of his team say even more about his impact.
Kevin Durant will be a household name in just a year or two, and the world of basketball will certainly be better off for it. His scoring abilities combined with his great defense make him one of the most special players in today's game, and he could very well be considered the best at some point within the course of the next decade.
Rounding out this talented roster are two great talents in point guard Russell Westbrook and small forward Jeff Green, both in their second and third seasons respectively.
There's also James Harden and some other emerging young talent on the bench, and it should be very interesting to see where this team goes from here.
If the season ended today, the Thunder would make the playoffs as the 8th seed in the Western Conference. This is more than they ever could have imagined possible.
