With a 24-1 start to the 2025-26 season, the Thunder are winning at a historic pace. The team has 16 consecutive victories and has not lost since Wednesday, November 5.
Oklahoma City is on pace to win 70+ games this season. Steph Curry and the Warriors hold the NBA single-season record of 73-9. They accomplished that feat during the 2015-16 season. On the Club 520 podcast, co-host Jeff Teague shared a strong opinion. He claims that the 2025-26 Thunder are “more dominant” than the 73-9 Warriors.
The 2025-26 Thunder could go down as one of the greatest teams all time
Jeff Teague believes this OKC team is superior to the 73–9 Warriors.
“I think they’re more dominant than that Warriors team. SGA and Steph is a wash, J-Dub and Klay is a wash, but that’s where Chet comes in.”

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder are coming off a win in the 2025 NBA Finals. Oklahoma City beat Indiana in Game 7 to clinch its first championship in franchise history. The team has carried that momentum into the 2025-26 season. Through their first 25 games, the Thunder are a remarkable 24-1. No team has been as successful as OKC to begin the year.
Recently, former NBA player Jeff Teague shared an opinion on the Club 520 podcast. He told his co-hosts that he believes the 2025-26 Thunder are “more dominant” than the 73-9 Warriors. Teague is comparing this year’s Thunder squad to what many people consider the greatest regular-season team of all time.
The Thunder are 81-11 in their last 92 regular season games. They’re 24-1 to start this season.
We all need to get comfortable starting to have the conversation about Oklahoma City and the greatest teams/seasons of all time. All signs pointing to it:pic.twitter.com/1HliYtBQAT

He started the comparison with Steph Curry and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. To Teague, they are a wash. Both players are elite PGs who’ve helped bring their respective teams a championship. Next, he compared Klay Thompson and Jalen Williams side by side. Again, Jeff Teague said it was a wash. Thompson and Williams both excel in being the second option for a title contender.
Jeff Teague said OKC’s Chet Holmgren is where the debate becomes lopsided. Golden State’s third piece during the 73-9 season was Andre Iguodala. At that stage in his career, Iguodala was 32 years old. Chet Holmgren is just 23 years old for the Thunder. OKC’s starting PF is a two-way star for the Thunder in 2025-26.
Additionally, Jeff Teague believes OKC’s pieces off the bench in 2025-26 are stronger than what the Warriors had in 2015-16. If the Thunder beat the Warriors’ 73-9 record, they would likely take the throne as the greatest team in regular-season history.
