Thunder players help equipment manager propose to girlfriend
When you're as tight-knit a group as the Oklahoma City Thunder, not only do you win and lose as a team, you even propose as a team.
Wilson Taylor works as the Thunder's equipment manager and has established several bonds with the players during his years on the job.
Back in March, in order to put together a memorable proposal for his girlfriend, Felicia Hudak, Taylor enlisted the help of several OKC players for a scavenger hunt which would lead his love to him and the ring.
She learned of the hunt while on a massage trip with her close friend. The first clue was provided by her limo driver, who took her and her mother to a nail appointment where the second clue was introduced.
Hudak's mom also provided the third clue at the location of Hudak and Taylor's first interaction.
The Thunder were then brought into the fold, with All-Star guard Russell Westbrook challenging Hudak to nail two free throws at the team's practice facility for clue No. 4. The inside joke was that Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan is a more accurate shot than she is.
Nick Collison waited at the Empire Slice House where the couple shared their first kiss. The problem, though, was that Hudak was going through the clues awfully quickly, which forced Collison to stall the process by chatting her up and grabbing a quick beer.
The final clue was given at the Gaylord Pickens Oklahoma Hall of Fame museum by Kevin Durant, with the rest of the Thunder players converging for the big moment where Hudak agreed to marry their friend.
"She was completely blown away - like completely blown away," Taylor told USA Today's Sam Amick.
How romantic.
