On Sunday, the Oklahoma City Thunder officially matched the Portland Trailblazers offer of four years and $70 million to bring back Enes Kanter.

After being acquired during last February’s NBA trade deadline, he was able to give the Thunder great offensive production, especially in the low post. He played in 26 games for the Thunder and averaged 18.7 points and 11 rebounds per game. Before he arrived in OKC, the Thunder never had a center reach 20 points and 10 rebounds in a game. In 26 games, Kanter did it 11 times.

Kanter has been labeled as a guy more committed to individual production than team wins. There have been questions as to how much his impressive offensive statistics actually contribute to wins.

Like any good offensive player, Kanter had some big games in losses. But, some of his best games were in wins for a team desperately trying to claw through injuries to make the playoffs.

Let’s take a look at top five games with the Thunder last season that went a long way toward earning him $70 million.
