How Oklahoma City Thunder’s Sam Presti Outsmarted the NBA and Claimed Executive of the Year Honors
Sam Presti has finally seized the NBA Executive of the Year crown — and it’s about time, if you ask me. After coming close a few times over the years, the Oklahoma City Thunder’s mastermind has earned his due recognition. This isn’t just some pat on the back; it’s a nod to a career peppered with savvy drafts, blockbuster trades, and building a team that’s topped the league with a stellar 68-14 record this season. From unearthing gems like Kevin Durant and James Harden to shaping the current powerhouse around Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Presti’s vision has blended patience and precision in a way few others have matched. Meanwhile, rivals like Cleveland’s Koby Altman and Detroit’s Trajan Langdon aren’t far behind, each making waves in their own right. But today, the spotlight’s squarely on Presti — a guy who’s played the long game and come out on top.
