Mayor Mick Cornett will officially declare April 21 as Blake Griffin
Day in the city.

Griffin is an Oklahoma City native who played high school basketball
at Oklahoma Christian before playing two years at OU. He declared
for the NBA draft earlier this month.

Griffin is the first Oklahoma City resident to win the Naismith
Trophy for the men's college basketball player of the year. He also
was named The Associated Press Player of the Year and received the
2009 John R. Wooden Award and a host of other honors.

Cornett will present Griffin with his resolution during the April 21
City Council meeting.
