Who will be the newest Oklahoma Hall of Fame inductees? Meet the 2025 class
So far this year, Oklahoma City Thunder executive vice president and general manager Sam Presti has earned his first NBA Basketball Executive of the Year title, while former Tulsan Ronnie Dunn has accepted the duo of the year prize at the Academy of Country Music Awards and the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Western Heritage Awards alongside his musical partner Kix Brooks.
Now, Presti and Dunn are headlining the 2025 class of the Oklahoma Hall of Fame.
“I am humbled to be received by the Oklahoma Hall of Fame. As soon as I stepped foot in the state of Oklahoma, the values, humanity and aspiration that have existed for generations were clearly expressed, and that deeply inspired me,” Presti said in an email to The Oklahoman.
