Everyone agrees that the Oklahoma City Thunder are very, very good this year. Their participation in the NBA Finals, on top of carrying an 80-18 combined record into that matchup, leaves little room for debate. They'll have a chance to finish off a tremendous run by taking down either the New York Knicks or Indiana Pacers yet apparently people are making the claim already that Oklahoma City is an all-time great team, Finals result not in hand.
Michael Wilbon doesn't really agree with that and offered his blueprint for how a team achieves such a status during his appearance on First Take on Thursday morning.
