Question: When was the American professional basketball player born who announced that he would leave the Thunder and sign with the Golden State Warriors?
Context: The 1980 NBA draft was the 34th annual draft of the National Basketball Association (NBA).  The draft was held on June 10, 1980, before the 1980–81 season.  In this draft, 23 NBA teams took turns selecting amateur U.S. college basketball players and other eligible players, including international players.  The first two picks in the draft belonged to the teams that finished last in each conference, with the order determined by a coin flip.  The Boston Celtics, who obtained the Detroit Pistons' first-round pick in a trade, won the coin flip and were awarded the first overall pick, while the Utah Jazz were awarded the second pick.  The Celtics then traded the first pick to the Golden State Warriors before the draft.  The remaining first-round picks and the subsequent rounds were assigned to teams in reverse order of their win–loss record in the previous season.  An expansion franchise, the Dallas Mavericks, took part in the NBA Draft for the first time and were assigned the eleventh pick in each round.  A player who had finished his four-year college eligibility was automatically eligible for selection.  Before the draft, five college underclassmen announced that they would leave college early and would be eligible for selection.  The draft consisted of 10 rounds comprising the selection of 214 players.  This draft has the distinction of being the first NBA Draft to be televised.
