Luguentz Dort, Oklahoma City Thunder, NBA Champion
The Oklahoma City Thunder captured their first NBA championship in franchise history last night, with former Grind Session standout Luguentz Dort playing a crucial role in the team’s storied season. Dort and the Thunder defeated the Indiana Pacers 103‑91 in Game 7 of the NBA Finals to secure the Larry O’Brien Trophy.
Dort’s high school journey included stints with three different teams in the Grind Session – Arlington Country Day (2015-2016), Conrad Academy (2016-2017), and Athlete Institute (2017-2018).
Dort is the third former Grind Session star to become an NBA champion. He joins the elite company of Jamal Murray and Thomas Bryant, who won a ring with the Denver Nuggets in 2023.
