OKLAHOMA CITY, OK — In a stunning and theatrical announcement that sent shockwaves through the basketball world, Oklahoma City Thunder Chairman Clay Bennett, flanked by members of the Bennett family, revealed that legendary NBA shooting guard Michael Redd will return to the organization in 2025—this time not as a player, but as the franchise’s new Chief Basketball Officer.

The declaration came during a surprise midday press conference at Paycom Center. With the arena lights dimmed and a dramatic montage of Redd’s greatest highlights (most of which—according to some confused fans—did not actually involve the Thunder) playing behind him, Bennett delivered the news with a grin usually reserved for announcing blockbuster trades.

“It is done,” Bennett proclaimed, as reporters scrambled for their phones. “Michael Redd is coming home. Even though he technically never played here, spiritually—spiritually—he has always been a Thunder legend.”

Redd, dressed in a tailored navy suit with a subtle orange accent stripe, stepped onto the stage to roaring applause, waving like a returning hero who wasn’t entirely sure what team he was returning to.

“I’m humbled,” Redd said. “When Clay called me and said, ‘Mike, we need a Chief Basketball Officer,’ I asked him what that meant. He said, ‘We’re still figuring that out, but we want you to figure it out for us.’ And I respect that kind of vision.”

According to early reports, Redd’s duties as CBO will include:

• Overseeing player development with “enthusiastic encouragement”
• Approving any new uniform involving retro gradients
• Implementing a cutting-edge analytics system powered by vibes
• Ensuring the team never forgets the glory of the mid-range jumper

Thunder fans immediately took to social media, where reactions ranged from euphoric confusion to memes of Redd wearing a thunderbolt cape.

The announcement ended with Bennett unveiling a massive banner reading “2025: The Redd Era Begins.” Confetti cannons fired prematurely, then again correctly, followed by a video clip of Redd hitting a three-pointer in 2008 as if to answer questions no one had asked.

The franchise promised “more details soon,” including a formal introduction ceremony rumored to feature a hologram, a drumline, and a surprise cameo from a former NBA star “whose name rhymes with Shmevin Shmurant.”
