Ty Lawson Throws NBA Post-Draft Party

Posted Jun 26, 2009
After Ty Lawson was selected, the flat-panel screens broadcasting the draft took a back seat to music and dancing. A deejay spun club hits and Michael Jackson tracks in honor of the late King of Pop. Lawson and his representatives were mobbed by the media for about an hour after his selection before he rejoined the party and signed autographs for his friends. With two open bars, the drinks were flowing all night. (Washingtonian)
