Thunder’s Chet Holmgren On Building Something Special in Oklahoma City
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 พ.ค. 2024
- After a devastating injury mere months after being drafted No. 2 to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Chet Holmgren missed his entire first season with a foot injury. Nearly a year later, Holmgren, alongside his teammates Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams, took the one-seed in the Western Conference, with Holmgren playing a full 82-game season. In this Boardroom Cover Story, Holmgren sits with Boardroom Co-Founder Rich Kleiman to talk about how he processed, reassessed and reinvented his approach to the game after injury, how he's found himself in a tight race to Rookie Of The Year with San Antonio Spurs Victor Wembanyama and what it's like playing across from legends like LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Steph Curry. Holmgren also shares stories about how 76ers Joel Embiid gave him a humble welcome to the league, why he doesn't feel pressure to put on more weight and how he plans to capitalize on the business side that comes with being an NBA player.

Spurs fan here, and not part of the hater culture. Great interview, great season and like our boy, I wish this kid health and a long and prosperous career.
real recognize real, wemby clearly ahead of chet but chet still a dawg in his own right -okc fan
OKC fan but love Victor and Jeremy. Get great!
Okc fan here like wise with wemby. I think Trae would be great with him hopefully he has to wait a year or two to get him tho hahah
@@warhammerfaction It’s time to be real with Trae though. He just is not a good two-way player. He and Klay have occasional great games but for what you would have to pay him, he’s not worth it. SA has to build with patience, luck and skill. Right now they only really have two stars.
I cannot wait for this rivalry! God, I miss the Spurs, OKC battles! Now we get it in a unicorn version? I’m so OK with that
Chet “OklaHolmgren”
What a class act he is!
Great interview!
This OKC team is built different.
I’m proud to be born in the 405
and….. we’re back!!!
TTFU
SGA=MVP
918 here. But willing to run through a brick wall for this team. I love the team chemistry and the pure joy on the guys faces on a nightly basis.
@@downtownno89 918 as well. Thunder up all day!
918 and been living in OKC for 7 years. THUNDER BABY!!!
TTFU
You were born in the 405? Where if I may ask? I was born in 1992. I grew up right off of 10th street and Western.
Great interview. Everybody on OKC seem to have a good head on their shoulders. Looking forward to the playoffs. ⚡️
Been loving Chet's season, INSANE potential and already been ripping this season 🙌
Thunder up!!! We have a dynasty here in OKC for the next decade. Let's get it! I LOVE OUR TEAM; I LOVE CHET!!!!!
🌩 🌩 🌩 🌩 🌩
It Def brings back nostalgia with this young group but I am happy they have a chance to surpass the old team
Love you Chet, from France
Can;t wait to see the next 3 years with these young guys!
I'm a day 1 and this team is by far my favorite.
fun interview! thanks for the insights. GO THUNDER!
Kobe mentality. One day at a time, the grind is always rewarded
Apt observation. Few have the combo of attitude and skills.
Boardroom, I can't get enough of your content, so I subscribed!
Great job…thank y’all
This is my favorite of Chets interviews so far.
YES SIIIIRRRRR !!!!!!! OKC BABY WE OUT HERE !
TURN TF UP!! #OCITYORNOCITY
Man I remember watching him in high school versus Emoni Bates, that was a huge game at the time. And I wondered if this guy would be good. He's one of the best rookies I've ever seen
My boy got that chrome on 😭 Put ts on Chet
Never forget about that OG squad. But he’s right this team gives the same feeling that the ‘12 team gave off. We will always love that old squad. But Chet, shai, giddey, dub, Lu are our future and we’re ready for it
Thunder up⚡️🌩️⛈️⛈️⛈️
A storms coming.
Welcome to OKC! It's out turnn!! Let's goooo!! THUNDER TF UP! #OKC #THUNDER
A real Team!!
My coworker seen Chet at Loves gas station 2 days ago , i was mad i didnt go with him to the store 😂
OKC is a young Team with the right type Players. Their ready because they play Team ball.
Yes! I love my dog too Chet!! You the man!!
hopefully a championship is on its way this year as a lifelong OKC fan. if it doesn’t, this team will forsure get one in the next couple years. too much potential and skills not too
At the very least - a deep run would be great experience .
After this year if we can get just a few more pieces when healthy we will be hard to beat
Hit like if you were here for the premiere!
This was fantastic not only being an Oklahoman and seeing our guy Chet in the interview but I tune into all the boardroom stuffs and this didn’t disappoint! What a fantastic interview and the questions were fantastic!
Im a be on wemby side ... But ... Really happy this kid is in nba .
Does OKC have what it takes to win the #NBA Championship?
Yes
Yes
Yes
Does a bear $hi+ in the woods? YES!
Yes
Very smart kid. What a class this 2023 draft!
He was a 22 draft pick
Why when dudes enter the nba baby faced then 10 months later they got a beard 😂 him and Steven adams look so different from when they entered the nba
Steroids bud 😊
@@brybry2184 yeah Chet's beard and steve-o long hair and tats are both a result of steroid usage. The more you know!
If Sam Presti is smart he will refrain from making a big move. Chemistry in a young team is both rare and fragile at the same time and they have it right now! Let them grow together! let them experience the playoff so they can start to understand what it takes and keep building around these you guys through the draft. If you trade the picks for an older star who has an ego then it could mess everything up. Have faith in these young guys!
They should trade the picks for future picks
He talks about DVR like it’s paper film that’s too funny 😂
The okc thunder are making it to the 2024 nba finals
Young stud!
I’m a warriors fan but I wouldn’t even be mad if okc won a chip 💯just don’t let bron get 1😭
Goated podcast
preciate you!
I've been saying this for a while now that you shouldn't look at solely the stats but you should look at what that player has done for his team before you proclaim someone rookie of the Year. Chet has taken this team from a team that didn't even make the playoffs last year to the number one seed in the playoffs this year his numbers are historical even beyond Wembys but the Media was so in love with Wemby that they covered him and his losing team over Chet and the team that he took to the playoffs
Oh plz like Chet doesn’t have a MVP caliber teammate and an upcoming allstar is JDub. Wemby is better, period.
@@PoopTasteLikeShit
Well obviously your name suits you because you seem to be full of it!!
Wemby did nothing for his team OKC had that same MVP caliber player you're talking about in Shai which yes he is MVP caliber and they didn't make it to the playoffs last year with Shai and yet they are the number one seed in the Western conference this year with Chet. The San Antonio Spurs were 22 and 60 the year before they drafted Victor the San Antonio Spurs were 22 and 60 this year with Victor. So tell me once again how much did he improve that team?
Chet wearing his outfit from the AT&T commercial
I got 100 dollars to win 10k for okc to win it all !!!!!! Let’s go thunder !!!
how? i have $200 on a 2 leg parlay (OKC win conference finals, OKC win championship) and it pays $13,000. placed the bet before season started so max odds. how did you only spend $100?
gl peeps
Why am I getting this whole video as an ad?
shoutout to chet for mentioning Tmac!!!!
We need to do a dna test bros definitely got presidential blood in him.
I think okc learned from Kds foot injury to take their time returning Chet. Also his body type (tall and lanky) seem to fair better with lower extremity injuries vs a body like Zion and Embiid.
Luv my SPURS but Victor Wembanyama is ROOKIE OF THE YEAR hand down 🏀GO SPURS GO🏀👏👏
😂😂😂
No question. Wemby is the rookie of the year.
If the thunder makes it to the NBA finals, theyre def winning the chip. Lets go get it
💯💯
That ‘something’ is the league’s next dynasty
I think he ment VCR not DVR 😂🤣 does that make me old knowing that 😢😭
CHET IM IN OKC HOP ON MY STREAM
Abe Lincoln looks like Chet holmgren yall got it twisted
Thought that was Abraham Lincoln in the thumbnail
Thought he was doing the gigachad pose, lol.
Chet BLOWgren, mans blasts whale tails left and right
Joel is so great but Chet is different, driven, self-critical, intelligent, and above all gifted. 10-15 more pounds and he will be very different.
🐶🐶 *Roof
Man Presty gonna be GM of this team until he retires or gets bored and wants a new challenge lol
Chet "💯%" Holgrem
Literally the 16th president
The Linc. Obviously Abe Lincoln. And also the missing Link that opened up OKC's game and made them No. 1 in the West.
Chet Code. Just unfair the skill and size combination.
GOAT
Minnesota Made
Wisconsin approved
Oh now he’s speaking normally
Yeah like 100 percent 😂
I liked the interview, the only thing that annoyed me was the part about how the Thunder do their post game interviews and how no other team does that. The Grizzlies have been doing that for like the past 3 seasons.
To all you rich owners who can afford the luxury tax, FYI, "you can't buy chemistry"!
Weight train this man
Goofy
No way he asked if he thinks it’s unfair to put him being on a better team as a disadvantage on ROY, as if not 10 minutes before Chet admitted sitting out last summer was a huge advantage 💀
DVR 😂
The Real ROY
I couldn't finish watching this vid man 😢 I like the kid but golly its too cringe hearing him talk
“high level players” u mean the MVP being on ur team chet? 😂 just admit Wemby is better. Don’t be cocky. Jesus Christ.
Victors going to win the award, you can go head on and be quiet now. The rest of us are going to enjoy the playoffs.
This dude is part of the hate culture Chet was talking about
ROY isn't MVP he's not cocky . Your a baby 🍼
Chet is so over rated .
Gangster Abe
