Oklahoma City Thunder’s, Kevin Durrant partied alongside the Washington Wizards John Wall, and music exec Jas Prince. They’re tune of the night… “Versace Versace” by Drake and Migos. John Wall couldn’t resist the “turn up” when Roc Nation’s DJ Mustard stepped to the 1s and 2s and rocked the crowd. Slim Thug partied in the section next to KD, but remained lowkey. The ultimate highlight of the day came as West Coast legend, Kurupt, took to the mic and performed the DoggPound classic, “Ain’t No Fun” as the LA native crowd and even Ne-Yo went nuts. Also, in attendance was Rosa Acosta, Indiana Pacer’s Paul George, and Detroit Piston’s Austin Day.
