Durant Unveils First U.S. Basketball Court at OKC Elementary School

The school building came alive as over a hundred little kids in school uniforms streamed outside the building on their way to the playground under the crisp cloudy air. Cherubic faces wrinkled with curiousity when they spotted Rumble the Bison bouncing around delivering high-fives while Thunder Drummers banged out bombastic sounds into the atmosphere. A throng of cameras and media types were on hand. This would be no ordinary Monday.

Boys and girls lined up in formation to create a tunnel toward their freshly painted outdoor basketball court. Soon enough, tiny shrieks broke out as eyes popped and mouths agaped like a long series of surprise emojis.
