His political prowess gave the Hornets temporary shelter and also helped pave the way for the Thunder's relocation.

It's hard to imagine anyone unseating Mayor Mick in an election, except maybe Desmond Mason.

Playfully asked if he could beat Mason in a mayoral race, Cornett paused several seconds before answering, "If I did beat him, it'd be the only thing in which I could beat Desmond.”

To help assure his victory, Cornett said he might question Mason's eligibility.

"My only hope is that Desmond hasn't been a resident long enough,” Cornett deadpanned.

Mason is approaching his ninth NBA season and has become a part-time model when it comes to wearing uniforms.
