Oklahoma City Thunder history
The Thunder were once the Seattle SuperSonics, who entered the NBA as a new club in 1967. In Seattle they made 22 playoff trips, won six division titles, reached three Finals and won the 1979 championship. After a lawsuit, owners led by Clay Bennett settled with Seattle lawmakers and moved the club to Oklahoma City in July 2008.
The first playoff spot in Oklahoma came in the 2009-10 season, a division title came the next year, and the 2011-12 team won the West, reaching the Finals for the first time since 1996 before falling 4-1 to Miami. In 2025 the Thunder returned to the Finals and beat Indiana. They also own a G League club, the Oklahoma City Blue.
