Between Seattle and Oklahoma City, the Thunder have one of the most interesting histories of any active NBA team. Because of the polarizing move that caused many in Seattle to veto the team altogether, the Thunder fanbase doesn't have the same deep roots as other historical teams.
But as you know all too well, what Thunder fans may lack in fan base age, they make up for with passion and knowledge. The Thunder may be less than two decades into their OKC run, but there are plenty of diehard fans who know everything about the history of the franchise.
Are you one of those fans? The easiest way to test your historical Thunder knowledge is by naming every stat leader in franchise history. Sporcle has you covered with a rather straightforward quiz that allows fans to flex their team knowledge.
Can you name every all-time leader in Thunder history?
It isn't a daunting task to name the No. 1 leader in every stat category for the Thunder. There really aren't any surprises at the No. 1 spots as long as you have a baseline level of historical knowledge.
Russell Westbrook is the all-time leader in points, Gary Payton leads assists and steals, Jack Sikma leads rebounds and Serge Ibaka leads in blocks. Ibaka may be the most surprising all-time leader of those four players, but he is a recent name who was a fan favorite during his tenure. Fans certainly didn't forget.
Westbrook and Kevin Durant take up nine of the 50 slots across the five stats. Throw in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and that list grows to 13. Just knowing those three players alone gets you to 26% through the list.
Franchise legends Payton and Shawn Kemp both make the list four times. That means that five players, who are arguably the five best players in franchise history, make up 42% of the list.
Surprisingly enough, James Harden does not crack the list in any of the five stats. His tenure with the Thunder wasn't extremely long lived and he did come off the bench, but it's still surprising to see him excluded from the list entirely.
Even more surprising, though, are some of the players who made the cut.
These surprising Thunder players may have tanked your quiz score
There are some surprising names from both recent Thunder teams and from the Seattle days that torpedoed many quiz scores. Nick Collison, who always felt like he was better in NBA 2K than he was in real life, made the list for rebounds and for blocks. Less than half of users guessed him correctly.
Chet Holmgren is also a surprising addition to the list. While he is very important on today's Thunder, it is surprising to see him included here so soon in his NBA career. To no surprise, the stat he makes the list for is blocks. Only 7.8% of users correctly guessed Holmgren, which was the third lowest of any player.
The only two players who were guessed at a lower clip than Holmgren are Alton Lister (6.6%) and Tom Burleson (3.7%), both of whom also made it via the blocks list.
Perhaps the best player in the entire quiz, however, is Slick Watts. Watts is on both the assists and steals list but was still guessed less than 25% of the time. The bald-headed guard earned his nickname because of his haircut and was the first player in NBA history to lead the league in steals and assists in the same season.
