Thunder GM Sam Presti Inducted into Oklahoma Hall of Fame

In November 2025, Sam Presti, the long-tenured general manager of the Oklahoma City Thunder, was officially inducted into the prestigious Oklahoma Hall of Fame. Presti's induction comes as no surprise, as he has spent the past nearly two decades transforming the Thunder into one of the most successful NBA franchises.

Since being named the team's GM in 2007, Presti has built two title contenders, oversaw the development of three NBA MVP winners, and finally guided the Thunder to their first-ever NBA championship in 2025. Last season, the team put together a historic 68-14 campaign, cementing their status as one of the greatest teams in league history.

Presti's ability to consistently field competitive teams and identify elite talent has earned him widespread acclaim within the NBA community. He is widely regarded as one of the top minds in the league's front office, with an approval rating that is the highest among his peers. Presti's induction into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame is a well-deserved recognition of his immense contributions to the state's basketball landscape.
