The Oklahoma City Thunder reached the 2012 NBA Finals with Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden leading the way, which has spurred some hypothetical conversations about a matchup between that team and the current iteration of the franchise that is seven wins away from a championship.

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.

Behind Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs to advance to the 2012 NBA Finals. The Thunder faced LeBron James and the Miami Heat in the finals, losing the series in five games.

The Thunder's home dominance in Oklahoma City might be a sign of things to come as they chase an NBA Championship.

Will this year's Oklahoma City Thunder team be able to do something the 2012 version, led by three future Hall of Famers, Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Russell Westbrook, were never able to do...

With Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns' season coming to a disappointing end again and some questions about their payroll, the team will most likely have to part ways with one of its stars.

Zach Lowe floated an eye-opening trade idea involving Kevin Durant to the Sacramento Kings. The possibility is low, but still interesting.

After finding out that Durant didn't want to get traded, the Warriors acquired Jimmy Butler from the Miami Heat. Golden State made the playoffs this year and beat the Houston Rockets in the first round in seven games. However, the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Warriors in the second round in five games.
