ESPN has ranked the Oklahoma City Thunder as the seventh-best sports franchise in North America.
The rankings took eight different factors into consideration. The affordability for fans, coaching, quality of players, fan relations, ownership, player experience, bang for your buck and championship potential.
The Thunder ranked particularly high in the players (10th) and fan relations (14th) categories. OKC scored the lowest in bang for your buck (114th) and coaching (88th).
