The Ultimate Thunder/Sonics Team 

Just imagine the highlights of this team... SHEESH! Ultimate Playoff Team??

I love this team. Deep and has shooting for days. Also they better wear Sonics jerseys in the 2K simulation, this is non negotiable.

Russell Westbrook is severely underrated these days i guess, a literal MVP, scoring champion, first triple double average since Oscar Robertson, matchup nightmare for most PGs

I can just hear Jeff Van Gundy being mad that people are still associating Thunder history with the SuperSonics 😂

Ibaka could tip a series in their favor in the sim, cause he’s a blocking machine in 2K

I would have Steven Adams as one of the three reserves. With limited minutes, he has the hustle and the heart to do everything that doesn't show up on the stats sheet - his screens and defensive presence are priceless, in the right moments.

Sga over Ray Allen is absolutely INSANE Edit: A. So long as Jokic and Luka exist, Sga isn’t getting MVP B. Prime Ray Allen in todays game would be FEASTING

As a Laker fan, I still considered the Seattle SuperSonics as a defunct team while the Oklahoma City Thunder as an expansion team since 2008 but what a nice pick. In my humble opinion, the Sonics are always be associated with the city of Seattle not with Oklahoma City.

Russ not starting is crazy

Wow, this is definitely one of the best and most fun teams yet.

Would have loved to see a spot for Gus Williams. Even as our NW rivals here in PDX, there were always some Sonics that were truly fun to watch.

Loved this as a Thunder fan. My only hope is that Chet develops into a prime time center over time

Genuinely surprised CP3 and Harden didn’t make it, but glad to see more of the history of franchise being on display

That’s crazy that Russ isn’t starting 😂

Jonny, I think I have fewer criticisms with your choices for this team than any other video you've done in this really fun series, and I was thrilled that Spencer Haywood made the starting lineup. He was amazing in the early '70s. I wish there were room for Gus Williams and Downtown Freddie Brown (great long-distance shooter) in the top 13, but that just shows how many really good guards the Sonics/Thunder have had. And finally, I strongly agree with your take of Payton over Westbrook in the starting lineup. Good job!

Tom Chambers was simply "That Dude". One of my favorite players and is simultaneously underrated and underappreciated. He's shown up in 2 of these in the span of a couple of weeks. We need a video about him and as controversial as this sounds, I think he has a case for the HOF. 🔥🔥🔥

I didn’t think OKC and Seattle would be so talented. I would find some way to put Rashad Lewis in there. Great list as always

This Thunder team goes into the 5-8 range with the Suns, Mavericks, and Kinga. They'll be competing for a top 5-6 seed to avoid the play in. The Lakers, Rocket, Spurs, and Warriors are clearly superior. The starting lineup is fantastic. Kemp and Payton can do their thing together as alley oop partners. Payton's playmaking can set up more scoring opportunities for KD and SGA. Payton is an all time great defender and Durant is an all time underrate defender. Haywood can focus on rebounding. In the second unit George and Sikma can focus more on defense while Chambers and Allen provide scoring and shooting and Westbrook can be that dynamic point guard. DJ and Ibaka are a good end of bench choices in case you need more good defenders and Ellis is an excellent end of bench choice if you need more perimeter shooting. Pretty good team and pretty well built. Not a top 4 team but a top 8 team that might avoid the play in tournament if they do well head to head with the Suns, Kings, and Mavericks.

What a team. I wasn't expecting a team so packed. It would go all the way.

Jimmy you're The best!!! First your highlights of them players are GREAT! And you remembered DALE ELLIS 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Can’t wait for the ultimate Providence Steamrollers team!

As always, your content is so good. Now, I find myself agreeing with you about 99.7% of the time and this is one of these rare moments; I personally would have gone with Ray Allen at starting SG. Now with that said, this is an insanely fun squad and wouldn’t have really thought they would have so many great players.

Wow, this team turned out far better than I would have thought. So many awesome scorers. I don't think there's enough D and rebounding compared to the other all time greats, even with the glove, but really fun and interesting team.

Keep up the good work loving this series

I just love this series

Yooo 2 ultimate team vids in 2 days? Nice!

If Payton Russ and Kemp were in the starting lineup that would be crazy

These videos are brilliant.. I would put Ray allen & Jack sickma in the starting spots though.

Great team. McDaniel,Schrempf,Mcmillan and the defensive specialist Derrick Mckey came to mind, but you can only fit 3 guys in rotation and I don't disagree at all. This team ended up being better than I expected when I clicked on the video.

Detlefs flat top alone should have gotten him a spot

Another great vid in a great series. I do think it would be fun if you added the coach for these teams.

Great team. I am glad you’ve included some great defenders here.

This is my favorite team of all time. I’m a huge Thunder fans been a fan since they were the SuperSonics back in Key Arena. I’m satisfied with this lineup

Did not Jack Summa was a Hall of Famer. The Glove, Dennis Johnson, Kevin Durant, Reign Man, SGA, Ray Allen the star of the team in the early 2000s, Tom Chambers, Spencer Haywood. Brodie, PG13 good team. Might have to remake this in the future. If the Seattle Supersonics come back.

not starting westbrook is crazy, him and kd played great basketball together

Been waiting for this one. From oklahoma.

I was waiting for this one!!!!!!!❤

U know this team is good when Dennis Johnson is just the rotation guy

should add coaches to the ultimate teams from now on personally

Your footage is nice. Most baskets youtubers use lazy, old, or irrelevant clips. I use the option on them to not recommend the channel to me

I can't believe he left out Harden! Definitely a stacked team

Building a team here… That means no harden. DJ was a finals MVP. Larry Bird says he’s the best teammate he ever had. Love seeing Haywood, Ellis, Chambers, and Ibaka on this team. Basketball comes down to imposing your will and style on the other team. And this team is much better than I expected. The sonic thunder can be chewed up inside if they don’t dictate the style of play.

Thanks Jonny! Although I kinda wish that Sonics and Thunder have their own all time teams but I get tough.

I didn't realize how stacked this team was

The crazy thing is you could make a solid ultimate team just based off their time in OKC. So much talent has been in that city in such a short amount of time.

W team & w video, a suggestion I had if ur still doing top 10/top 5 videos is top 10 defenders to never win dpoy

This is my favorite seris

I was expecting Shawn Kemp at the 4 and Jack Sikma at the 5 but Spencer Haywood is definitely a guy more of the younger generation definitely needs to learn about. Same with Jack Sikma or anyone on that 79 championship team.

This team is definitely making the playoffs- the lack of size is only an insurmountable issue against a few teams (lakers, spurs, rockets) out west. Everyone else will be scared as hell to go against both units, honestly. I love this team, and yes I’m biased. #RIPSONICS

The guard situation is tough, with so many great ones. But I agree that Russ would be best suited for being a 6th man.

Growing up around the Seattle era if you associate the thunder with the SuperSonics the people act like they are completely separate and a lot of them feel like the Sonics history should be it’s own thing considering how much talk their has been to bring a team back to Seattle and even the commissioner said himself Seattle is the most likely destination for the upcoming expansion. But if that does happen do the thunder keep all history for the sonics like the players and the 1979 Championship or would it be brought to the new team. This is something that has been on my mind for a while now with the Sonics

I strongly think this team could make a deep playoff run.

another good vid🔌

Shawn Kemp with the Thunderous slams!

This is a nice Sonics team definitely

It’s great having Gary Payton starting with such great facilitating around great isolation players like KD and SGA and Kemps off ball plays but then switch this to such burst of athleticism from Russell Westbrook is an insane play. It’s like Clippers current game, slow play with Hardens pick n roll with Ibaka and switch the force to PG and Kawhis isolation game right off to Russell Westbrook who brings the entire team into the offence off the bench to one of the quickest pace in the league.

Would like to see a separate version of this team

Vin Baker, Sam Perkins to the honorable mentions

Vin Baker deserves at the very least to be on the honorable mention list. He was a major star in Seattle.

This team will be scary in transition.

This team is very solid and feels like that team that will easily win play-in games to make the playoffs. A playoff series? That's honestly asking a bit much. Have you seen their history post 1979? Nothing but choking. This current Thunder core may change that soon though. But keep that in mind for a sec, because the roster is also pretty good, where it can also be argued as well rounded. Russ as the 6th man is actually one of the best ideas I've heard from Jonny yet and honestly convinced me to change my mind on where I may adjust the lineups. The highlights will be all time greatness as well with crazy lobs, baskets and playmaking galore. And again, Serge Ibaka should be the guy relied on for rim protection. So what's my problem? Rebounding. I was surprised to see Kemp at the center because...I don't think he'll do that well against Western Conference centers like Shaq, Wilt, Hakeem, Robinson, Jokic, Cousins, etc. Maybe I'm underrating his rebounding though, who knows. They got Jack Sikma too, so it's not all bad, but still. Back to the current Thunder core though, this is where I'm hoping Chet Holmgren will fix that in the near future. We shall see. But hey, those are just my thoughts. See you for the Timberwolves.

I like that Tom Chambers gets some credit. Both here and also for Suns team. I think he is the best white flyer.

I always thought Detlef Schrempf was overlooked. As well as Xavier McDaniel.

Imagine being able to leave off Harden and CP3 and having Chet in the pipeline. Stacked.

First five should've been: PG: Gary Payton 6'4 SG: Russell Westbrook 6'4 SF: Paul George 6'9 PF: Kevin Durant 6'11 C: Shawn Kemp 6'10 You have defense, speed/athleticism, length, & decent floor spacing.

This team’s only weaknesses are rim protection and center depth, especially in a conference with prime Shaq and prime Wilt

Yoo this team is kinda op ngl

This team is looking so good, up there with the Lakers and Celtics

Good content

Kd being in every team he's ever played with, respect

Chet holmgren BY FAR is the most slept on pick im actually disappointed you didn’t have him included, usually im always very pleased with your picks, but CHET must be on this team.

How many other ultimate teams have an MVP off the bench?

I’m not sure if this was answered or not, but will you be choosing a coach to go along with these teams?

6:13 I thought Allen had the athleticism more so in his days with the bucks than with the sonics but cool for sharing that anyways

This team has a ton of depth and a phenomenal balance of offense and defense, the pace of play and dawg mentality will make them difficult to beat

I rlly like this team, unfortunately against an all time team like the lakers they would struggle down low, they might come into the offseason as a top 5 seed, but I don’t see them getting past the second round

Solid team! No dispute from me from 1-10 but that 11-13 spots you have to put James harden and rashard Lewis in 2 of those 3 open spots.

As long as this team doesn’t face, the Rockets, grizzlies, Spurs or Lakers, they will be good

That OKC team of the early 2010s really should have won something.

Have a great Thursday!!

I think id pick rookie Chet near the end because his skillset is already pretty extreme as a shot blocker and floor spacer. The guards and wings are already so stacked that he could fill out a rotation nicely

Westbrook behind payton is INSANE

As a Sonics fan, this hurts. Ow. Good team. But ow That said, god I want to hear Kevin Colabro calling this team's games

Damn WB at the bench genuinely surprised me. Cause for me he is one of the greatest in the franchise. He can run with the starting because they have shooters in the starting.

I feel like Durant and Rashard Lewis would have been a match made in heaven.

Maybe shremf ,Jonny for in rim protection and 3-pointers there too

As a former Sonics ticket holder, I cannot tell you just how happy I am that you started The Glove over Westbrook. 👏

I’m sorry but Russ has to start, put Gary at the 2 if you have to

I think it would be better if there's no duplicate players in every team. Only one team for each player. Payton Shai KD Haywood Kemp Russ Ellis Schrempf Ibaka Sikma Gus Williams Xavier McDaniel Bob Rule REMOVE: Allen (Celtics) PG (Pacers) Chambers (Suns) Dennis Johnson (Celtics)

Detlef?

You should’ve put Nick Collison on the end of the bench for moral support lol.

I'm surprised Gus Williams didn't make the cut but I'm also unsure of who to replace with him.

When you do the simulation do a fan bracket as well and see how close the fans get to the computer. Do a vote type bracket for fans.

Who would coach the Ultimate Teams for each team if you had to pick a coach?

🏀

Love the lineup, I would have out russ starting over SGA, but otherwise great team

Ricky Pierce was dope. Detlef too

This team could upset a lot of teams in the West

Dale Ellis!

Haven't started yet... I'm guessing Jonny puts the Glove at 1 and slides Brodie over to the 2. That's what I'd do lol... or maybe the reverse.
