Thunder Raise Banner, Receive 2025 Championship Rings

On Oct. 21, 2025, before their season opener against the Houston Rockets at Paycom Center, the Oklahoma City Thunder raised the franchise’s first NBA championship banner for the city and received rings in a televised ceremony attended by Commissioner Adam Silver, owner Clay Bennett and GM Sam Presti. The Thunder secured the title after a 68-14 regular season and a seven-game NBA Finals victory over the Indiana Pacers, the franchise’s first championship since relocating from Seattle. Jostens partnered with Champions Collective on the rings, which feature more than 800 custom-cut, hand-set gemstones in 14-karat gold — including 100 diamonds on top, OKC spelled in diamonds, 46 blue sapphires, and a “ring-within-a-ring” inner band engraved with each player’s signature and jersey number with 94 diamonds along its edges — plus a tribute to the Gates of Time and Reflecting Pool. Players filed through a tunnel as fans (and former Thunder Kevin Durant) cheered; reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander was honored last and received MVP chants while teammates touched the banner and displayed their rings.
