The Oklahoma City Thunder is a professional basketball franchise based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. They play in the Northwest Division of the Western Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA) with their home arena at Oklahoma City's Ford Center.

The Thunder's NBA Development League affiliate is the Tulsa 66ers, which it also owns. As of 2010, the Thunder are the only team in the Big Four North American sports leagues in the state of Oklahoma.

Formerly the Seattle SuperSonics, the Thunder were relocated in 2008 after a dispute between owner Clay Bennett and lawmakers in Seattle, Washington. As the Seattle SuperSonics, the club qualified for the NBA Playoffs 22 times, won its division six times and won the 1979 NBA Championship. In Oklahoma City, the team qualified for their first playoff berth during the 2009 – 2010 season.
