Kevin Durant was selected by the Thunder (then known as Supersonics) in 2007 with the second pick in the first round.
Russell Westbrook was selected by the Thunder in fourth place in the first round in 2008.
James Harden was selected by the Thunder with the third pick in the first round in 2009.
Players selected for three consecutive years have all become MVPs, and this season they have all been selected as the NBA's 75 biggest stars.
The Thunder's draft vision is also modest to call it a once-in-a-century encounter.
In the third year of their time together, the three of them successfully brought the team to the finals and competed against the Miami Heat Big Three.
Although he was won by the Heat four times in a row and missed the championship in the case of winning one game in the Finals, everyone knows that the talented Thunder has unlimited future, and it should be known that Durant and Westbrook were only 24 years old at that time, and Harden was only 23 years old.
But fate is often so wonderful, although Harden has shown the potential of superstars at that time, but Dewey is the root of this team.
It may be due to the poor performance of the Finals, Harden's best sixth man of the season has made the clear-eyed people feel the arrogance and contempt of the Thunder management on the issue of the extension of the offseason.
Harden was just looking for a 4-year, 60-million contract extension at the time, but the Thunder were only willing to give a price tag of 54 million for 4 years, and only gave Harden 1 hour to consider.
In the end, Harden, who was hurt, did not negotiate with the team, and then was traded by the Thunder to the Rockets.
In fact, at the time, the deal did not have much of a wave, although there was no Harden, but the Thunder, which has the combination of Dewey's two young king explosions, is still the top team in the league.
In the four years before Harden left for Durant to go to the Warriors, the Thunder made the Two Seasons in the Western Conference Finals except for the 12-13 playoff season when Westbrook stopped the Western Conference semifinals due to injury reimbursement, and Durant did not enter the playoffs due to injury reimbursement in the 14-15 season.
The most regrettable thing is the 15-16 Western Conference Finals, facing the defending champion Golden State Warriors with 73 wins in the regular season, the Thunder led by Dewey Ershao achieved a 3:1 lead in the series.
But the sixth home game was played by Klay Thompson's 11 three-point supergod performance, which shattered the chance to reach the Finals again.
A failure may be the best medicine before success, but failure after failure is bound to become a poison.
Determined to be the first man in the league, Durant looked at the old Zhan who was also 3:1 behind in the Finals but turned against the wind, fed up with this situation, he shielded all doubts in the offseason, and joined the Golden State Warriors who personally beat him last season, and Curry, Thompson formed a "tsunami" combination that would be feared in the future.
Adding a 73-win championship-level team to one of the league's top offensive killers, success is inevitable.
If Durant's first season with the Warriors, the most difficult thing to face is to respond to or block the media and fans' criticism of him.
Then in the 17-18 defending season, the biggest difficulty encountered by Durant and the Warriors was the opponent of the Western Conference Finals - houston rockets.
The leader of the Rockets is the regular season MVP of the season, the scoring champion - James Harden.
Durant's former little brother really rose to the top of the league in the sixth year of coming to the Rockets, teaming up with Chris Paul to win the battle against the Warriors' King's Mountain at home, but also due to Paul's unexpected injury at The King's Mountain, the Warriors then won two consecutive games, missing the opportunity to reach the Finals.
But this series was the most thrilling since Durant came to the Warriors, and they almost overturned the ship.
Unfortunately, the Warriors' dream of a triple crown will be put to rest in the next season because of Durant and Klay's successive injury reimbursements.
This season, the Focus of the Warriors is on Green and Durant, Green's sentence: We were championships before you came, and finally completely unveiled the scars in Durant's heart.
Did he win the championship with Curry and Klay, with the Warriors' death five-small rotation system, apparently! That's the answer Durant himself gave himself.
And after his hasty comeback in the Finals and serious injuries, he completely closed the door to the Warriors.
He doesn't want to be pointed at the spine after retiring and say: You won the championship and won the finals MVP because you had a superstar like Curry on the side.
He had to prove himself again, and he would be the absolute number one with anyone except James, so he chose his best friend, Kyrie Owen, to meet in Brooklyn.
But Durant had to recuperate for a season because of an Achilles tendon injury, and his former second and third brothers were magically reunited in Houston that season.
Because the Rockets that Harden and Paul joined forces were knocked down last season by the Warriors who lacked Durant, and the contradictions arose, it is clear that the Rockets are on the side of the younger Harden, and a trade with Paul is imminent.
In the end, Wei Shao became the protagonist of the identity exchange with Paul, the former second brother, the third brother, and once reunited in Houston since the Thunder.
But the imaginary honeymoon period did not come, both men needed the ball, Westbrook's outside line was quite bad, and Harden's projection was not so good, such a twisted combination, and in the playoffs, it was beaten back to its original form by James and the Lakers led by thick eyebrows.
In the offseason, Wei Shao left Washington, and Harden volunteered to ask the team to trade him shortly after the start of the new season.
Once again, fate seemed to have written the script, harden actually came to the Brooklyn Nets, and the big brother Durant and Irving formed the best offensive trio in the history of the league.
However, Durant, who has been injured for more than half a season, and Irving, who is absent from work from time to time, have hurt Harden, although the nets have come to the second position in the East under the leadership of Harden in the regular season, but due to excessive wear and tear, Harden at the end of the regular season and the playoffs have been affected by injuries, and most of his strength has been damaged.
Durant's form after the big injury is still excellent, Irving and Harden injuries let them not step past the Bucks in the Eastern Conference semifinals, but they are still the biggest candidates for the championship until the start of the season.
I didn't think that Irving quit work because of his faith, and Harden's five games in the opening season were worse than the other, whether the impact of the new rules of the league was really so great for him, you know that he is one of the 75 biggest stars in the NBA.
The most uncomfortable situation for the Nets today must be Durant, Irving is your good friend, you also recognize him to give up a good partner like Curry, but people abandon you because of faith.
Harden's state is unbearable, Durant is close to him, even back-to-back games have no rotation, how long can he last such overdrafts and losses?
But why Durant gave up the comfortable "life" of the Warriors is nothing more than to prove to the world that his excellence and greatness are not only successful in the Warriors.
Now it seems that such expectations may be empty of bamboo baskets, Irving is stubborn, it is likely to be traded by the Nets, and Harden's state does not know when to find it, maybe only time can give the answer.
Back to Wei Shao's side, today the Lakers led by 26 points, by Wei Shao's former old club, a new season of an unbeaten Thunder to reverse.
Wei Shao contributed 20 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists and 10 mistakes of the four-double performance, the game finally because of eating his second technical foul was sent off, really lost and lost, no surprise Wei Shao and the Lakers today once again rushed to the hot search.
Maybe harden in the slump this season and the hot-headed Westbrook will become the norm, and they who have never won a championship may not experience durant's pain.
Winning the championship, getting the FMVP does not necessarily get the recognition of all the people, and your teammates will say badly to you: the championship has not been won by you.
Durant has to fight with the Nets to change this situation, and Harden and Westbrook don't care if they are the boss of the team. The protagonist and the supporting characters don't matter to them anymore, they are like Durant who just arrived at the Warriors six years ago, as long as you give me the championship, you can scold as much as you want, anyway, I don't care.
Here I have to sigh that the years when the thunder three were together were really good.
