When it comes to the greatest Oklahoma City Thunder player of all time, the debate is heating up—and it's not just fans weighing in. In a recent exchange, former Thunder star Serge Ibaka posed a tough question to current OKC standout Chet Holmgren: "Best OKC player of all time: Shai or Kevin Durant?"

Holmgren didn't hesitate. "I'd say probably Shai," he responded, putting the rising star ahead of the franchise's legendary former MVP.

But Ibaka wasn't done. He followed up with another heavyweight comparison: "Shai or Russell Westbrook?"

Again, Holmgren stuck with his teammate. "Uh, Shai."

The exchange highlights just how highly Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is regarded within the Thunder organization. While Durant and Westbrook defined an era in OKC—leading the team to the NBA Finals and earning multiple MVP awards—Holmgren's loyalty to his current co-star speaks volumes about SGA's impact. With his elite scoring, playmaking, and leadership, Gilgeous-Alexander has quickly become the face of a new generation of Thunder basketball.

Whether you side with the history of KD and Russ or the present dominance of Shai, one thing's clear: the OKC legacy is in good hands.
