The Thunder has watched Shai Gilgeous-Alexander go off each night on the scoring end. Kendrick Perkins offered a double teams idea.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are just six games away from winning their first NBA championship since relocating from Seattle before the 2008-09 season. Despite this, they have been one of the most successful teams during this period.

Former Oklahoma City Thunder big man Kendrick Perkins had a lot to say about his impact on the Thunder team that made the NBA Finals 13 years ago. In a segment on the 'Road Trippin' podcast, Perkins defended his legacy from the critics and credited himself as the difference-maker that pushed the Thunder to the Finals.
