Pistons center Andre Drummond is getting credit for an off-the-court assist. Christian Estrada, 16, of Littlefield, Texas, wants to take UFC fighter Ronda Rousey to the prom and has gathered nearly 3,000 retweets in his weeklong pledge -- a third of that drummed up by Drummond.
The Pistons center, who added an emoticon-laced message: "If she says yes you better treat my wife to a great night. Good luck buddy."
Drummond's retweet alone generated nearly 1,000 retweets, said Estrada, who was appreciative of the Pistons' response.
"It just means a lot he retweeted it," he said.
