Teacher instructs students to be like Jordan, not Durant
An Oklahoma City Thunder fan is teaching lessons about behavior - with a salty NBA twist.
In a creative effort to discourage cheating and plagiarizing, a teacher in Tulsa, Okla. handed out a package Thursday in which he implored students not to be a Kevin Durant, and instead aspire to be like Michael Jordan.
My brother got this handout about behavior at school today.
The document says to avoid taking "the easy way out" like Durant, who left the Thunder last summer in free agency following nine years with the franchise. The All-NBA forward joined "the very same team that had just knocked him out of the playoffs" in the Golden State Warriors, and went on to capture a championship and Finals MVP honors in his first year with the powerhouse club.

The sheet also suggests drawing inspiration from the GOAT because he never backed down from a challenge - whether it was in real life, or in "Space Jam."
