They are one of, if not, the biggest threat to win it all this season, and can go toe-to-toe against any team in the NBA, including the defending NBA champions in Boston Celtics. One of the biggest reasons why the Thunder are in this position, is because of Shai Gilgeous Alexander&rsquo;s unbelievable scoring and play-making ability, solidifying himself as one of the best players in the league.<\/p><p>The Thunder finished the season with a 68-14 record, and finished as the number one seed in the West. They will take on the winner of the 8th seed for the first round of the playoffs, and this time this expectations has risen for them to the highest. Fans and analysts believe that OKC has what it takes to win it all, and while some question their playoff experience, others believe that the personnel that they have, is more than enough to win the Larry O&rsquo;Brian Trophy this season. In fact, the Thunder have played so well this season that there is a serious debate going on about if the 2024-2025 Thunder squad could beat the James Harden, Russell Westbrook, and Kevin Durant Thunder team.<\/p><p>While we do not know the answer to that, what we do know is the fact that the Thunder have had three players with one or more scoring titles, in the past 16 years! Let&rsquo;s find out more.<\/p><p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/trail-blazers-head-coach-chauncey-billups-has-agreed-to-a-multi-year-contract-extension\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Trail Blazer&rsquo;s Head Coach Chauncey Billups Has Agreed to a Multi-Year Contract Extension<\/a><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Thunder Have Most Scoring Leaders in the Past 16 Years<\/h2><p>The Oklahoma City Thunder now have three players with who have won the scoring title 7 times in the last 16 years and this is who they are;<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kevin Durant<\/h3><p>Durant is one of the most elite scorers we have ever seen. When your team needs a bucket deep down the game or if they need a clutch shot maker, there is nobody better than Durant. KD has won 4 scoring titles in his NBA career in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2014, and the 2013-14 season was one of the best MVP campaigns we have ever seen from an NBA player. Durant averaged a whopping 32.0 points per game that season, and there was nothing anybody could do to slow him down. Durant is nearly 7-feet tall, can handle the basketball, hit contested shots from anywhere from the floor, and driving inside the basket. Many analysts and fans even regard him as the best pure scorer that the game has ever seen.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kevin Durant with 54 points on the Warriors head.

Westbrook beat Oscar Robertson&rsquo;s record for the most triple-double in a season, and his former teammate Kevin Durant leaving the Thunder became one of the biggest motivations for him to win the NBA MVP award. Westbrook is one of the best players we&rsquo;ve ever seen, and even though he&rsquo;s a lot older now, he still somehow manages to give every ounce of energy to win.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Russell Westbrook&rsquo;s MVP season was something special<br><br>&#128280;31.6 PPG &ndash; 10.7 RPG &ndash; 10.4 APG<br>&#128280;28 Games with 20+ Points<br>&#128280;26 Games with 30+ Points<br>&#128280;14 Games with 40+ Points<br>&#128280;4 Games with 50+ Points<br>&#128280;62 Double-Doubles<br>&#128280;42 Triple-Doubles<br><br>&#128548;&#128548;&#128548;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/s7V1xtIJzo\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/s7V1xtIJzo<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Hoop Central (@TheHoopCentral) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheHoopCentral\/status\/1261359957154295808?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>May 15, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shai Gilgeous Alexander<\/h3><p>SGA is the favorite to win the MVP award this season and led the Thunder to a 68-14 record in the West.

He&rsquo;s also now become one of the best scorers in the league today from all-three levels, whether it&rsquo;s the mid-range, 3-pt line, or inside the paint. SGA has also somehow maintained 51.9 percent shooting from the field, which makes him extremely efficient. <\/p><blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DIZLMC3OxJo\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
