During a recent Oklahoma City Thunder game, fan Jaylen O'Conner won $20,000 by successfully making a half-court shot. The unique contest allowed him 30 seconds to attempt as many shots as necessary, with O'Conner sinking the shot on his fifth try. The event, sponsored by MidFirst Bank, also awarded O'Conner a special Playoff t-shirt, marking him as the millionth recipient. The crowd at the arena celebrated enthusiastically as O'Conner, a local from OKC, achieved the feat.
