OKC Mayor Will Be Wearing Purple And Gold!

I came across this article this morning and it is just laughable. The Oklahoma City mayor thinks his team will not just win a game, but actually win the whole series!

“OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma City Thunder lost the first two games of their first-round NBA playoff series with the Los Angeles Lakers, but Mayor Mick Cornett still believes his town’s team will prevail.
Cornett told The Associated Press he’s so confident the Thunder will rally that he reached Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa by phone on Wednesday to make a friendly wager on the series’ outcome.

Should the Thunder win, Cornett says the two mayors will take a picture together with Villaraigosa wearing an Oklahoma City jersey during the United States Conference of Mayors, which Oklahoma City will host in June.

If the Lakers win, Cornett would wear a Los Angeles jersey for the picture.

The series will resume Thursday night with game three in Oklahoma City.”
