SAM PRESTIEXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT &GENERAL MANAGER

Sam Presti is set to enter his 12th season with the Oklahoma City Thunder after being named the 11th General Manager in club history on June 7, 2007 at 29 years old. A year into his tenure with the Thunder, Presti was promoted to Executive Vice President and General Manager by Professional Basketball Club Chairman, Clayton I. Bennett.

During his 12-plus seasons with the Thunder, Presti has worked diligently to assemble the building blocks for long term success both on and off the court. Dating back to the Thunder’s first season in Oklahoma City, Presti and his staff have watched the Thunder amass the second-best record in the NBA during this span (behind only San Antonio).

When hired to oversee the Thunder’s basketball operations in 2007, Presti became the second youngest general manager in NBA history. Entering the 2018-19 season, Presti is currently the 5th youngest general manager in the NBA and the 8th longest tenured.

Under Presti’s guidance, the Thunder has captured five Northwest Division Championships and reached the Conference Finals on four occasions, including the team’s trip to the NBA Finals in 2012. After finishing the 2017-18 season with a record of 48-34, the Thunder is now just one of two teams (San Antonio) to finish each of the last nine seasons with an above .500 record.

Throughout his tenure, Presti has led with consistent philosophies and values, but has used a diversity of roster building techniques to sustain several cycles of the Thunder. During his time leading the Thunder’s basketball operations efforts, Presti and his staff have enjoyed success with respect to the NBA Draft, beginning with the 2007 selection of Kevin Durant with the 2nd overall pick. Presti went on to draft Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka in 2008 with the 4th and 24th selections, respectively before taking James Harden with the 3rd overall pick in 2009. Other notable draft selections for Presti include Reggie Jackson with 24th pick in 2011 and the 2013 draft, where he selected franchise cornerstones in Steven Adams with the 12th overall pick and Andre Roberson with the 24th selection.

After acquiring five-time All-Star Paul George in a landmark trade from the Indiana Pacers in June of 2017, George committed long term to the Thunder by signing a multi-year contract extension this past summer. This occurred just prior to the Thunder signing Westbrook in September of 2017 to his third multi-year contract extension with the team.

Under Presti’s guidance, the Thunder advanced to the postseason in eight of the last nine seasons including five straight years (2010-2014) and at the conclusion 2012-13 season, Oklahoma City became just the second team in NBA history (Boston Celtics; 1955-1960) to increase its winning percentage for five consecutive seasons (while maintaining a winning percentage of .700 or better in two of those seasons).

Dating back to the 2011-12 season, the Thunder became Western Conference Champions on the heels of the 2010-11 season in which the Thunder became the youngest team in the prior quarter century to reach the NBA’s Western Conference Finals.

During the 2009-10 season, Oklahoma City experienced one of the largest turnarounds in NBA history. A year after winning 23 games, the Thunder concluded the 2009-10 season with a 50-32 record (.610) and captured the franchise’s first playoff berth in Oklahoma City. The 27-win improvement was tied for the eighth largest improvement in NBA history. Presti was named NBA Executive of the Year by The Sporting News at the conclusion of the season.

Since moving to Oklahoma City in July of 2008, Presti has stressed the importance of community involvement for both Thunder players and staff. Under his leadership, Thunder players have made more than 2,400 community appearances in and around Oklahoma City. Presti has also made it policy for every new player and staff member to tour the Oklahoma City Memorial and Museum soon after joining the organization.

At the request of former NBA Commissioner David Stern and then Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver, Presti was named to the league’s first ever Competition Committee in May of 2012. During his term, which recently concluded just prior to the 2018-19 season, Presti was a part of the committee that enacted several rule changes, such as concussion protocol, a package of rules to increase game flow, player rest policies, anti-flopping rules, deliberate away from the play fouls, modifications to playoff seeding, qualification and tie-breakers, and adjustments to the NBA Finals scheduling format. Additionally, Presti was asked to serve on the NBA’s Instant Replay Committee in 2009, which helped to lay the groundwork for rules changes that the Competition Committee would later make regarding instant replay expansion and the expanded use of the replay center. This past summer Presti was selected to the newly formed General Manager Sub-Committee.

Prior to joining the Thunder, Presti held a variety of roles with the San Antonio Spurs. After starting in 2000 as a video intern for Gregg Popovich, Presti moved up through the front office ranks in San Antonio before being elevated to the position of Vice President and Assistant General Manager. As a member of the Spurs, Presti was part of NBA Championship teams in 2003, 2005 and 2007, as well as five division titles.

Presti earned his bachelor’s degree in 2000 in communications, politics and law and a minor in psychology from Emerson College in Boston, where he was the first Rhodes Scholar nominee in school history. The Concord, Mass. native served as team captain of the Emerson College basketball team during both his junior and senior seasons. In addition, Presti earned All-Academic honors two times and was twice selected to the Great Northeast Athletic Conference All-Tournament team.

He was honored with the Emerson College Young Alumnus Award in 2005. Presti has also completed Harvard University’s Continuing Education program on leadership and decision making.

Presti currently resides on the board of the Oklahoma City National Memorial and served as chairman of the Oklahoma Standard campaign, a movement built on the foundation of resilience, compassion, consistent acts of honor, service and kindness. In addition, he is also a member of the Oklahoma City Civic Center Board.

Consistent with his organizational commitment to community involvement, Presti has been equally supportive of several worthy causes in his personal life. This past year, the Presti family made a significant donation to the Police Athletic League to launch a program that aims to foster positive relations with youth and law enforcement. Additionally, Presti established the Forward Thinking Leadership Development Program within the Oklahoma City public schools aimed at helping the next generation of youth in the local community.

Additionally, Presti is actively involved with PeacePlayers International (PPI), a global outreach program focused on bringing children and communities together through the game of basketball. He also serves on the Board of Directors of Shooting Touch, an organization that grants graduating college seniors the opportunity to travel the world and use the platform of basketball to help foster education and influence positive social change in third world global communities.

In 2016 Presti was awarded the Humanitarian Award from the Oklahoma Center for Community and Justice due to his work in the area of diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Additionally, he was named the 2016 Oklahoman of the Year by Oklahoma Magazine. Presti was recognized as Oklahoma City University’s 2012-13 recipient of the Abe Lemons/Paul Hansen Award for Sports Excellence and he also won the Oklahoma March of Dimes Sports Headliner Special Award for 2013. This fall, Sam will be awarded with the Founder’s Day Celebration award for his civic leadership in Oklahoma City.

An accomplished drummer, Presti has produced three music CDs with all proceeds benefiting the Extra Ordinary Needs Fund at Children’s Hospital in Boston. Also, Presti established the Keenan Smith-Anthony Halls Scholarship Fund at his former high school, Concord-Carlisle, to assist underserved students with their college tuition.

Presti and his wife, Shannon, have a son, Nicholas Rubin and twin daughters, Elise and Millie. Shannon continues to serve as the Director of Teen Leadership Initiatives for the YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City.
