Wanna Rep OKC At The Draft Lottery?
The Thunder announced Tuesday that one lucky fan will have the opportunity to attend the annual NBA Draft Lottery on May 19 when the league determines the draft order of the 14 non-playoff teams.
The Thunder has launched a Draft Lottery Challenge, asking fans 18 and older who are Oklahoma residents to submit a fun, creative, witty and entertaining SEVEN-word essay to Thunder.nba.com explaining why they should win the trip to the lottery.
The top three finalists will be placed on thunder.nba.com and all site visitors will be able to vote on the most creative entry. The Grand Prize winner will win round trip airfare from Oklahoma City to New York City, hotel accommodations, per diem for the trip and will head to the Draft Lottery at the NBA Entertainment studious in Secaucus, N.J.
Deadline for entries on thunder.nba.com is midnight on Monday, May 4. The team is asking fans to refrain from using draft eligible player names, numbers and schools. The winning entry will be announced on Thursday, May 7 at thunder.nba.com.

A seven WORD essay to explain why they should represent the Thunder? A little short don’t you think?
that would be fun… but i know in my heart i would talk smack and get kicked out, so why bother? let a little kid go. i don’t want to see some dorky middle-aged guy reppin’ the thunder.
“A seven WORD essay to explain why they should represent the Thunder?”–I guess they figure that’s the longest amount of words an okie can string together coherently?
By limiting it to 7 words you are forcing people to be very creative. I entered and had to craft mine very carefully in order to get my point across in 7 words. We’ll see how it does.
send the fat, stinky kid who doesn’t wash. He’s a perfect representative of this place….
