- The OKC Thunder Are The NBA's Next Dynasty as Gilbert Arenas was impressed with their recent performance in the NBA Playoffs and believes the future is bright. With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey playing at a new level this season, and Chet Holmgren on the mend you can't help but think this team is primed to become the NBA's next version of the Golden State Warriors Dynasty.

I can tell McCant ain't never seen Chet play...because he just now noticing SGA.
Bol bol way better coming from a real Hooper, Chet gotta put in work and get to it. 🎯
@@maneiloveyall3672 yea you don’t know ball like you think you do
Facts, SGA been doing this with CP3 running the show
McCants’ insane takes make this whole show lose credibility
@@maneiloveyall3672 if anything, Gil and Brandon give Chet the nod not this crowned no name. Ain’t listening to a guy who barely put up point in the league, while those two dominates.
Am I the only one that thinks Jennings’s calm demeanor is needed for balance
Yeah i was stoked when i found out he was on this podcast :)
Big MF Facts!!!!
BJ was a grown man when he was 14. Very intelligent, mature, and laid back.
Cool laid back dude . I like it
Dude embodies professionalism. 5 star at 12. Top player in the world at 14. Basically skipped his senior year in high school to go to Europe for 2 years to prep for the NBA. If not for bad organizations, BJ might be fringe HoFer. Always ended up in dumpster fires. At his peak, he was a walking 15/10/5 guy.
It's literally mind blowing that they didn't bring up JDub as ome of OKC young superstars he's as good as any of giddy chet or Shai JDub is sick AF at 6-6 with a 7-2 wingspan
they dont watch us lol.
Def not as good as Shai but he nice
JDub just isn't as good as Giddey, Shai, or Chet. He's awesome, he's kinda like a combination of all 3 but not the best at anything
I had to pause and turn off the video when that guy said bol bol was better than chet. Its obvious they are very casual to okc basketball. To not even mention the rookie who is going to finish 2nd in roty who is jdub is mind boggling. Hopefully chet can win roty next year.
6’6 & 7’2 *
Rashad talking about bol bol like he’s the next Giannis….
He is , yall got Bol fckd up
Have let these players play
Nah he means like the next KD….none of his game resembles Giannis
Nobody knew Giannis was gon be Giannis😂
If he gets playing time he'll show what he can do. Bol has game and potential
duh?!? but seriously… When Sam Presti steps down at OKC and away from basketball I hope everyone can take time and appreciate the executive job he has done running, building, a NBA franchise. He’s done a remarkable job.
Ain’t a man I trust more than Sam presti
He’s been their best player for many years now.
Same presti is a god in OKC
Facts as a Warriors fan if they lost Myers but got Presti they’d be straight. Hopefully they keep myers cuz that ain’t gone happen lol
I love this combo. All different personalities.
That's the point.
Arguing bout bol bol is crazy 😂😂😂😂
Wait are we deadass calling Chet lazy when the only Reason he is not playing this past season he was going 100% trying to guard lebron
I don’t believe he was too injured to play. I called it when he was drafted they would find any reason to put him on ice for the season as an effort to add some weight on him. He showed enough promise in summer league.
@@Watchingvideoslikeu its a lisfranc injury lmao. Automatic done for the year. He could've returned but im not sure if you can designate someone to return after reporting they are out of the year
@@D3liveringChaos I’ve always wondered how the designation works if a player heals faster than expected after being declared out for the year. I didn’t know it was lisfranc so I get him sitting. I think if I was in charge of OKC I would’ve kept him out any way due to weight. It’s why I believe Wemby will play less than 50 games his rookie season in an effort to ease him into the NBA over his first two seasons
The kid wasnt ready they know, shit he a Shawn Bradley Bust
Chet isn't the one ya'll should be talkin' about. The fact that you didn't include JDub in this conversation says it all. The trio is SGA, Giddey and JDub. They have the 2nd youngest roster and Chet will add to it.
JDUB was a nba ready prospect from the get go
Youngest in history, ESPN had no idea what they were talking about when they said 2nd
Chet the difference maker and I love Jdubb chet is a elite shot blocker and rebounder and that's was our weakness this year ... Rim protection and rebounding. We definitely need chet to get close to a title
Did J-Dub retire after his first year? How do you not mention him? The dude could be an allstar in a couple of years
That’s what I said they trippin
Love Gil...but these guys come across as such NBA casuals sometimes smh.
I was just saying that when I came across this. Dort is no slouch either, definitely has a roll for himself
If Gil can keep the main thing the main thing and avoid the mistakes that Brandon Marshall made with I Am Athlete, this podcast can be the next great place for content where athletes can chop it up with their equals. I'm digging this so far, real talk.
Exactly I love this show
I’m sorry what did Brandon Do? I’m not being a dick I’m just asking
I love I am Athlete and the casual friendly vibe of them chopping it up
Marshall was a dumb Ass😂😂 Idk How or anyone can like him. He needs a Hobby to better himself and have something to talk.about. bc his NFL career is made a joke of 😂😂
@@boodahoncho4598 he had a d in his mouth 👄 🍆
Rashad must’ve never watched Chet Lmaooo Bol Bol doesn’t even get minutes on the Magic 😂
You think chet would start on Denver lol?

@@berrymckockiner5883 Yes sir
I enjoy all of them on this show keep this going guys the whole staff is phenomenal ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Chet Holmgren is the next Kevin Durant. He'll be Wembanyama's rival their entire career like Russell and Wilt
Always been something refreshing about Gil and his peoples take… I get sometimes he says some hot debatable things, but I like how he always doubles down until he’s proven wrong makes the show more interesting seeing other people disagreeing with each other an not hesitating and getting straight to it why they don’t agree, gives that barber shop room feel to it
Bol Bol is nice asf & went top 5 if not for that injury
Bol Bol not Giannis but he has an NBA resume while Chet hasn’t played a game. Rashad is right in that perspective. We haven’t seen Bol Bol play a 38 min game starting yet
I agree with Rashaad. We are undervaluing Bol Bol.
So how did that 6 points from giddey taste??? how about a side desert of reaves first playoff game?
Giddey put up 31 10 9 in his first playoff game...
Chet comparison to Bol Bol is legitimate....both 7 feet , play excatly the same ....both skinny shooters, both bring the ball up court, both play defense...legit same player but for some reason just cause Bol got hurt in college mfs look at him like a scrub
As a Magic fan, Bol is terrible finished the year with like 20 DNP Coaches Decisions. We couldn't give him away!
If Chet is anything like Bol he’s going to be a bust
How do people forget about Jeff Green being on that thunder team as well dude a straight up hooper and had it not been for his heart issues who knows how much better he would have been because he still solid today but at that time before the heart issues they technically had 4 guys on that team this Okc now doesn’t have that yet but time will tell, we just have to see how Chet adjusts to the NBA ✌🏾
I remember watching Jeff Green court side here in Seattle when he came into the league with KD they were supposed to be SuperSonic's new young talents. Those expectations on him him as KD's right hand man did Green no favors throughout his career.
I always said trading him for perk was a mistake. Green was a beast
Imagine the small ball line up they could’ve used (still a huge lineup) in
PG Russell Westbrook/Reggie Jackson
SG James Harden/Thabo Sefalosha
SF Kevin Durant
PF Jeff Green
C Serge Ibaka
if they never traded for Perkins
They need true 5. I just dont think Chet can handle playing 5 on D
OKC could upgrade at the 5 by dealing with the Pistons..Beef Stew could be the next Steven Adams
Bol Bol not a legit 5 either
@@axucaroso I’d go for Duren instead. He can be Bam Adebayo type player. Let Chet run the 4.
Chet definitely will be a better stretch 4, he’s 7’1 190. He’ll get killed in the post, Kenny lofton jr 6’6 on a good day but he like 270 and was cooking him down low in the summer league
@@MyGee586 but I just don’t see the commitment from teams to be patient in the half court sets to post Kenny up. They all like to run n shoot. I think Chet has more positives his way…one being it took Bol longer to get acclimated. That said alot of what Chet can do here with a full season of pro is unknown. High potential but still unknown. But….I like when guys are forced to sit early in their career they can see shit they don’t see while playing
Just the 🪜 Gil made with his arms and hands, and then looking at it afterward is why he has his own show.
We will see next year.
@@gregorywilson2124 hater
What does that even mean brother?
dude with the crown on assumed Chet was lazy and slow cause he’s a 7’2 & White… like bro just labels people by appearance & body without having any idea of his game hahaha
This idiot is wearing a crown, what else do you need to know.
1:05 right on man! that's what I feel too.
Chet is like that. Y’all tripping.
Rashad is the only one that has the right thought process with the Chet Vs Bol Bol convo⚠️💯 to try to say Chet is all these levels above Bol off of zero league work is blasphemy
Giddey a triple double threat, SGA an unguardable bucket, Chet a 7ft unicorn shooting over anyone. Remind you of anyone?
They gonna see soon. And the best part is that Noone talks about the Williams players on okc. The thunder can literally build a team then trade their picks for picks in later years once they have their team set and project for what they need in the future.
I don't know man, the OKC's last "dynasty" didnt go too well
That's bc they didn't want to pay Harden the extra 8M he wanted.
@@c-meezy765 plus bad role players, the "best" of them was ex-nba dion waiters
Went very well. 90% of the league would trade their last 15 years for OKC’s run of success.
@C-Meezy There were role issues too. Scott Brooks didn't know how to get all 3 of the stars touches
Okc was still such a new franchise at that time too that had limited money compared to other teams at that time too. They obviously learned from their mistakes and pay their players now. We seen when they took a risk and went after PG and melo. I don’t believe presti will let that happen again
Why bro comparing Reaves and Giddey? One was an undrafted FA who came in on a two way. The other was the 6th overall pick. They're two totally different lanes with different responsibilities and expectations
reaves going undrafted was actually his choice he told teams not to draft him becuase he only wanted too play for the lakers so teams didnt draft him
Y’all forgot Chet got bullied by Kenny Lofton. A PROSPECT UNDRAFTED PLAYER🤣🤣 hope chet hittin them weights
🤦🏽♂️
@@RoryTate2176 stop me if I’m lying lol
@@london4x812 Big facts. He got injured trying to guard Lebron in off season
@@RjRedKingLive no cap on a transition break barley even contesting… it’s giving fragile lol
This is a terrible example most
Playerd aren’t Kenny
OKC WAS the next dynasty 10 years ago when they had young KD, Russ, Harden and Ibaka. They WERE on their way but ownership and management messed it up. Let's hope they can keep this new, young nucleus of potential superstars together this time around.
I remember when they called ibaka iblaka and he left the league in blocks with 3.7 and 3.0 two years in a row and then people quit calling him that lmao. That team was dope as fuck. They should have kept harden though. I'm glad it turned out how it did though. Im glad we saw the best in Westbrook, Harden, and Durant
I don't know about dynasty..but they were a play in tournament team this year basically trying to tank...so if they add pieces and actually try..then yes they can be very good...and especially if chet turns out to be great....let alone if they get the number 1 pick or a high draft pick...I see some potential forming
A better question would have been do they have a chance to be a dynasty? They have all that talent plus 15 first round draft picks in the next 2-3 years
You clearly didn’t watch a lick of OKC ball, they never “tried” to tank. 40 wins and they actually blew a few more easy ones.
Bro said Applebees 😂 we don’t mess with Applebees out here dawg!
Bol Bol has it all?
Chet Holmgren from MD I’m rollin wit him lol
Crazy thing is okc can have both next year
Memphis has a core of Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, and Jaren Jackson Jr. (Defensive Player of the year) and they are all below 24 years old.
SGA is 25(All-NBA first team), Giddey is 20, Chet is 20, JDub is 22 (ROTY runner-up).
@@kaufmankieran how many playoffs has OKC made in the last 2 years? 0. Memphis is in the playoffs now and they were a second seed.
@@iali00 Yeah. They're rebuild also started earlier. The Thunder are the second youngest team in history with 15 1st rounders over next 5 years
@@kaufmankieran Shai is 24 not 25, and OKC is the youngest team in NBA history
We became the youngest after reading Muscala and cutting Omoruyi
@@duffal0 My b. Shai will be 25 in two months though
Sga and J will are the two I see being their cornerstones. Giddey is a role player imo
calling Giddey a role player is borderline disrespectful he might not reach his superstar potential but he is already their main playmaker
hol on out of all the people BOL BOL???? come on man
First time watching these people talk about basketball. It’s clear whoever that is hyping up bol bol ain’t ever really watch chet.
i don’t think they understand Josiah’s point that they’re one of the only teams that can pull the trigger and acquire a disgruntled superstar. Realistically almost no one should be untouchable from Thunder with their assets and picks
Squandered OKC talent: KD, Russ, Harden, Reggie, Oladipo, Sabonis, CP3, Melo, PG, Steve Adams, Serge, Schroder (Who’d I miss?)
Dude the only ones using crowns in public are Bachelorettes on they now out 😂😂.
This Man Is A Damn Good Mediator, Gil Came A Long Way
Bro I love bol but plz don’t do that to him 💀💀💀
As a Magic fan Bol is terrible. Finished the season with like 20 DNP Coaches Decisions!
Bol is the best player on the team... There is politics in every thing in life... He's terrible because the coach didn't play him...
Mark Jackson compared SGA to Pearl Washington. Highest praise.
Yep, that is high praise. Raised my eyebrows when i heard him say that. Definitely gonna make me keep a close eye on SGA.
They play The same game if You really look
This man fighting for bol bol 🤣🤣🤣
For those of you who didn't get it from his chosen headwear (wears every show), Rashad McCann is not a deep thinker. Bol Bol would need a few first rd picks to go with him to be worth a trade for Chet Holmgren. Look at when they were drafted.
When a player was drafted has zero to do with their ability to meet their potential in the league.
Bol bol is underated.... Either way im looking forward to that matchup . Bol bol vs chet . Im a blazer fan its been rough . When bol bol played for Oregon, i was hoping he'd come to the blazers. But he had a foot injury...... Portland got a history of injuries i understand why we didnt draft him . But still.. him at the 3spot with dame and sharpe grant , a big . sheeeeeeeesh
Dynasty? they haven't even made it too the playoffs. They are a great young team but idk bout dynasty.
All those guys traded or going somewhere else like harden Kd n russ
Bron has never been apart of a dynasty 😂.
@@beejeeezy7933wouldn’t that’s be a + for Lebron being as tho he has 4 rings on top of all his other accolades cuz everyone with 3 or more rings were apart of a dynasty correct?
The real KEY to the whole thing…. Is Jdub. After the year he had, he shored up the forward spot. Dort is a nice defensive player… joe was a good pickup… really a solid 4 or a tweener 3/4 that isn’t necessarily a star but a great fit for that team would elevate tht like crazy. Plus i think they need to find that backup 1. Whether thats tre mann or not
B Jennings got that Jodeci Fit Starter Kit on
Okc- doesn't need to trade most of the picks because if you are winning your top stars and role players get older
Now you have picks to keep some youth on the roster
We saw with lebron's Cavs no picks no youth
Clippers don't have any younger guys making the roster all there too talents are veteran players coming out there prime or passed it.
Maybe you make a move on q veteran stare in a yr or two but I'd keep the picks if there a playoff team consistently top 6 or better thoughts picks will come in handy with the right coach and management moves
got the the pices with shot creators with shai, griddy & jalen williams plus chet & dort would be nice
Okc has the pieces to be a great team with the Williams and lu dort and polenski their future bright if everyone stay healthy.
I'm in total agreement with McCants about BolBol and Holmgren.
Bol Bol and Chet both are going to be NBA superstars imo
Lmao Bol Bol barely gets in the rotation on ORLANDO
Yeah cuz he has a dumb ass coach anytime he gets in he be balling. Tracy McGrady use to barley get minutes in Toronto but when he did you could tell he was going to be a superstar.
Dude with the crown just there, having these crazy takes, to be fair this is my 3rd time seeing him i don't knownif he's really like that every time.
OKC can win the west in the next three years if Giddey keeps improving, and if Chet lives up to the hype. SGA is a dawg and can hit big shots… plus they play defense like GS used to. JDub will be great for this team too!
They really got Chet coming next year. Chet coming off injury but Sga and Giddey with a a7 footer is gonna be tough. & Chet is like that just to be clear the only question is injury.
He clearly doesn’t know who Chet is.. Rashad not serious 😂😂
Man,I didn’t tune in for no Bol Bol episode !!!!!!🤣😂
What the hell Mcants talking about. Bol bol isn’t no where near Chet.
Hopefully Chet in the weight room . If not, I’m not convinced.
“Negro Tendencies” is crazy 😂
I think the other interesting point to consider is chemistry and in particular ego. There is plenty of ego in Harden, Westbrook and Durant which ultimately robbed each other and the OKC of their own dynasty. I don’t think you are going to find these characteristics in the persons of Giddey, Chet and Shai. For this reason, I think the current three will prove in time to be the best core OKC has ever produced.
I appreciate you saying I don’t think….never can know until the time comes. Agents, GMs they can take you out of your mold. Imagine Harden was actually very humbled as the 6th man….shit the bed in the finals. He got told by DM he was everything and didn’t need KD and RW and come get an insane bag in a much more entertaining city. It won’t work on all but it’ll work on most.
You don’t think ego will arise in OKC? When SGA is super max eligible and Giddey is up for extension and Chet becomes a star? Be foreal this is the NBA
@@Watchingvideoslikeu precisely, in time I stand to be corrected but for the moment I think egos will remain in check. I have considered your point prior to expressing my thoughts. I do however factor in the current culture of this young group both at a personal level and that from a team perspective. Josh Giddey’s maturity is well beyond his years. Shai will get the max, both Josh and Chet will be satisfied as support cast for Shai so long as they continue to live up to what we see as their potential. I think the problem will come from outside of these three as their indeed is some serious talent on this roster. If either of Chet and or Giddey fall out of favour in mins and rotation from one of the others, than there will be a dilemma but not necessarily a problem for OKC given whomever breaks into the top three will no doubt be that man.
@@Ujett1 I agree with everything you wrote. I would say Chet has the most potential to become a ego-threat because he had the most hype prior to playing college ball, and has the KD comparisons in terms of ceiling.
@@Watchingvideoslikeu I agree.
OKC is the 6th fastest growing City in the US. OKCs future is extremely bright
You seen the future my guy. OKC about to take over ⛈️⚡️
Bol Bol has proven to be he can be valuable in the NBA Chet has star level talent
No As a Magic fan, Bol didn't finish the season in our rotation. Had like 20 DNP Coaches decisions. He's terrible we couldn't give him away!
Bol bol is getting DNP in Orlando wtf this man talking about????
There is no way lebrick is better than kobe! I totally agree...
Gil looked shocked the whole time 😂🤣
The Nuggets let Bol go for nothing. & They ain't missing him. We'd rather have Bones back before Bol. & Bizzy didn't get along.
JDUB Jalen Williams will be in their Big 3
I would love if OKC could get Markennin
I like Shai and Giddey a lot. My only concern is that the teams ceiling will be limited because neither are very good 3pt shooters. They definitely do everything else well and of you put snipers around them it'll help. But I just feel that against the best teams in the league who have everything they have and can also shoot 3s, they're just not gonna have the offensive fire power to win many 7 game series.
Comparing Chet to bol bol is CRAZY. They betta chill Chet gone show em fr 😂💯 dude is legit and we all know it. Not saying he’s the best big in the league or something but he’s gonna be GOOD
The sound on these videos is way too low
I like this Group!
I fw mccants takes but he giving Bol Bol too much credit rn he hasn’t shown nun yet
The Knicks have a good young core group

Nah he right tho. Chet too fragile
@@RjRedKingLive gotta give him a chance, why you think he's fragile? One injury?
Yeah because he looks stupid. If you wasn't a superstar player then you shouldn't be wearing a crown it all
cant listen to a grown man who rocks a crown proudly
Hasn't bol bol been bouncing around the league not really finding minutes?
McCants literally has never watched Chet 🤣🤣🤣
Dude with the laptop thinks all okc has is Applebee’s lmaooo

Not even mentioning J-Dub and Dort is a shame.

Bol Bol needs the Rodman/ Artest treatment. Get him a therapist sitting behind him the end of the bench and hit the weights
OKC need a big Like Robert Williams to grab rebounds, run the floor, & protect the rim
They need size im sure presti is gonna stay away from those undersized bigs after drafting JRE, ous, jwill, and jdubb.
@@yunginelijah8526 jdub is a guard/ wing also jwill is a center with Chet being out had to be a starter same with the others
@@Wrestle_Kingdom I watched every game bro I know. jdubb been playing pf all season and so has ousmane. So like I said they need more size at those positions. Mark been running that Dantoni small ball system because they literally had no choice because olivier sarr is mid and Chet been hurt. Presti gonna take a prospect like edey or gg Jackson maybe even mouhamed gueye at the end of first or beginning of second.
@@Wrestle_Kingdom And that’s my point all those guys are out of position.. no way jwill gonna last against nba centers be realistic
@@yunginelijah8526 bro I know jdub been playing pf but he naturally a guard/wing that what he was in college but he going to play sf when chet comes back and ouesime is naturally a 4 plus poku and kenrich are coming back which will help with the size
Jwill is not bad at all he a decent center as a backup which what he was drafted for they want chet at the 5 jwill did good with the circumstance he had to deal with he be more impactful playing off the bench
I’m not saying okc shouldn’t add size but some of the concerns are blown out of proportion mainly due because okc wasn’t fully healthy but okc definitely should draft a 4 gg Jackson,Kris Murray,Hendricks,jarace any of those guys would be perfect i be more concerned about the lack of shooting and shot creation
