So, how many rings are we talking here?
The answer, my friend, depends on how deep you wanna dive into franchise history. Here's the lowdown:
QuickTip: Pay attention to first and last sentences.
The Full Monty (Seattle Days Included): If you consider the Thunder's history to include their time as the Seattle SuperSonics (1967-2008), then they boast a shiny 1 NBA championship from way back in 1979. That's right, they were the OG Sonics who brought home the bacon (and possibly some grunge music?)
The Oklahoma Era: Now, if you're strictly talking about the Thunder since their Oklahoma City days (2008-present), then they're still waiting to hoist that Larry O'Brien trophy. They've come close, reaching the Finals in 2012, but LeBron James and the Miami Heat had other plans (sorry, OKC fans, we still feel your pain).
So, what's the verdict? It's a choose-your-own-adventure situation. Technically, they have 1 championship, but it wasn't won in Oklahoma City. Hey, at least they have a cool name and some amazing young talent, right?
Reminder: Take a short break if the post feels long.
