If there is any organization that teams should look to emulate, it's the Oklahoma City Thunder. Sam Presti, general manager of the Thunder, drafted three future MVPs in three years, went to the NBA Finals, dismantled them, and rebuilt a new contender around another MVP in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, culminating in an NBA championship this season.

Following the Game 7 win over the Indiana Pacers, more than 18,000 fans exited the Paycom Center. Downtown thousands celebrated the city's first NBA title. Cellphone video captured the jubilation that turned to chaos when gunfire erupted around 10:30 p.m. near Oklahoma City Boulevard and South Robinson Avenue, on the east side of Scissortail Park.
