Much to the chagrin of Pacers coach Rick Carlisle, the Thunder are going to be using those buses.
Oklahoma City defeated Indiana in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals on Sunday night, putting the finishing touches on one of the most dominant seasons in recent history. Finals MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way for a Thunder team that cruised to the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference before capturing the franchise's first title since it relocated from Seattle in 2008.
Now, coaches and players are ready to celebrate their championship run with the OKC faithful. Get ready, Thunder fans — the buses are ready to hit the road.
Here is everything you need to know about the Thunder's championship parade, including TV and streaming options for the event.
