The NBA’s top front office belongs to Oklahoma City.
Execs across the league voted Sam Presti and the Oklahoma City Thunder No. 1 again, rewarding a group that just delivered 68 wins, a title run and still holds one of the deepest draft-asset stashes in the league.
OKC is the rare contender that wins now and builds next—landing SGA and Jalen Williams, hitting late picks, finding Lu Dort, and hiring Mark Daigneault. Everyone else is chasing the standard they’ve set.

They play their home games at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The team is named after Indiana's history with the Indianapolis 500's pace cars and with the harness racing industry. The Pacers have won three championships, all in the ABA. The Pacers were NBA Eastern Conference champions in 2000. The team has won nine division titles.
