Bleacher Report included the 2024-25 Oklahoma City Thunder on its list of the 99 greatest sports teams in history. The Thunder earned the No. 69 spot following a season where they posted a 68-14 regular-season record and maintained a plus-12.9 point differential. Despite this regular-season performance, the team entered the ranking lower than some other NBA franchises due to a 16-7 postseason record. The team faced two Game 7 scenarios during their run to the 2025 NBA championship, ultimately securing the title against the Indiana Pacers. The ranking covers major sports leagues including the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, WNBA, and college athletics. Only one entry per franchise was permitted for every five-year period to avoid repetition.
