A one-word sound bite’s worth is more debatable. “TMZ” video from last week shows Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant confronted by paparazzi.
“Yo, yo, Kevin, man!” shouted an unknown man. “What’s there to do in Oklahoma though for fun though, player? Anything?” “Nothing,” KD replied. Was this a big deal, or was the All-Star just giving “TMZ” the cold shoulder?
Durant cleared the air with this tweet June 21: “I dissed Oklahoma cuz I didnt wanna sit n talk to TMZ and all I said was the word nothing..y’all forgot all the times I scream OKC? ok cool” Now, if KD can just stay clear of the OKC stalkerazzi he might not end up on “TMZ” again. Bucky, the CFN intern, is obsessively polishing up his telephoto lens and oiling up his moped in anticipation.
