Sam Presti (Oklahoma City Thunder)
May 7, 2025
Sam Presti was named NBA Executive of the Year after building the Thunder into a 68-win powerhouse, earning 10 first-place votes from 30 team executives. It’s his first time receiving the award.
Presti credited the Thunder’s player commitment and long-tenured support staff. His win marks the franchise’s first since 1994, when it was the Seattle SuperSonics. Cleveland’s Koby Altman and Detroit’s Trajan Langdon finished second and third.
