If the Thunder win the NBA Championship they will have defeated 11 of the past 13 champions to get there. They have beaten the Mavericks (2011), LA Lakers (2000,01,02,09,10) and Spurs (1999, 2003,05,07) and either the Heat (2006) or Celtics (2008). The only champion they wouldn't have knocked off would be the loser of the Heat-Celtics series and the Detroit Pistons. If they beat the Celtics, they would have beaten teams that hold 38 of the NBA's 65 titles (58%) and it would be the first time a team had beaten both the Celtics and Lakers in the postseason since the 1989 Pistons. The only other team to defeat both the Celtics and Lakers was the 1973 New York Knicks.
