Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023-24 revision of our top 50 Oklahoma City Thunder.

As for all of our top 50 players in basketball, we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Basketball Association.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Thunder had a nice playoff run and proved they are a young team on the rise.  There was one new entrant and one significant elevation.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:

1. Russell Westbrook
2. Gary Payton
3. Kevin Durant
4. Shawn Kemp
5. Jack Sikma

You can find the entire list here.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has rocketed to #8 from #27. He was a First-Team All-NBA selection and the MVP runner-up last year to Nikola Jokic, and the sky is the limit for this young Canadian.

The new entrant was Jalen Williams, who debuted at #46.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

Jalen "J-Dub" Williams has rapidly evolved from the 12th overall pick in the 2022 draft into a cornerstone of the Oklahoma City Thunder’s modern dynasty, culminating in his pivotal role during their 2025 NBA Championship run. Cementing himself as the team's versatile secondary star alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren, Williams earned his first All-Star and All-NBA Third Team selections in the 2024-25 season, averaging over 21 points per game with elite two-way efficiency. His toughness became legendary during the 2025 Finals, where he famously scored 40 points in a crucial Game 5 despite playing through a torn wrist ligament. Rewarded with a massive five-year max extension in July 2025, he recently returned from offseason surgery to rejoin a dominant Thunder squad that started the 2025-26 season on a historic tear, proving he remains the "glue" that makes their championship engine run.
