It's not a Tulsa urban legend, myth or a running joke: It really does rain every year (since 2008) at downtown's Mayfest.

a bit preoccupied last December, but Nike released a really cool "Weatherman" version of Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant's shoes then.
Says Kevin Durant in an interview at the Josh Howard Celebrity All-Star event last December, as quoted by the

Perhaps by then, the NBA will have more weather-themed teams, like the Seattle Endless Rainfall or the Green Bay Snowstorm.
