Can Blink-182 lead singer Mark Hoppus - what's his age again? - drop 30 points in his sleep? Can he win four scoring titles, a league MVP, and take a team to the NBA Finals?

Well, he'll never be Kevin Durant, but perhaps the Oklahoma City Thunder can use his game anyway.

Hoppus sent out a photo of his name and No. 182 on a Thunder jersey via Instagram, saying how he had signed a six-year contract to be the team's new starter.

Proud to announce I've signed a six-year deal starting for the @okcthunder. 🏀

He'll presumably don the gear Thursday when his band plays Chesapeake Energy Arena.
