The reigning national champion and NBA rookie went from draft pick to life of the party

When Adam Silver called his name, Yaxel Lendeborg was ready. Selected 11th overall in the 2026 NBA Draft by the Golden State Warriors, the 6’9” forward spent years building toward this moment, from junior college gyms in Yuma, Arizona to a National Championship at Michigan, to a Brooklyn stage televised to the entire world. A fierce embrace with his biggest cheerleader, his mom, sealed the deal.

With the moment of a lifetime behind him, it was time to celebrate.

The Space

Yaxel’s team booked one of Peerspace’s new All Inclusive Venues in Manhattan. Food, drinks, venue, all booked in one easy transaction – zero back-and-forth. 5th & Mad is a massive two-level venue with over 30 TVs and four projector screens, two full-service bars, and an events team that handles everything from the menu to the ambiance.  The setting was perfect for a draft night party where the guest list included family, agents, teammates, and his day one support team.

“This night wasn’t just about me, it was about everyone who believed in me before anybody else did. My family, my team, everybody who was in that room with me. We wanted to celebrate the right way after draft night, and Peerspace made it easy. I’ll never forget looking around the room and seeing all of my people together.”

How All Inclusive Changes Everything

If you’ve ever planned a private event, you know how the process usually goes. You find a venue you love, you fill out a form online, and wait to hear back. You spend the next two weeks chasing your contact at the venue, finding a caterer and bartender, identifying a bar minimum that requires “a follow-up call with our events team,” and a contract that doesn’t mention their overtime fee until page four. 

With Peerspace’s new All Inclusive Venues, you just book the space, select your food and drink package, confirm your headcount, and you’re done. No lengthy online forms. No waiting for a callback. No coordinating multiple vendors for one night. The whole experience lives in a single booking, on your phone, in under ten minutes.
