Teacher establishes 'No Kevin Durant' zone in classroom
School's in session for some kids, and one creative teacher and spurned Oklahoma City Thunder fan has turned Kevin Durant's departure into a lesson for his students.
Tucker Hein, a recent Oklahoma University graduate, put this on a bulletin board in his new classroom in Indianapolis:

The first-year teacher told Kelly Ogle of News 9 that he came up with the "No KD" zone as a way of reminding his students to work hard and stay on course - unlike the NBA megastar.
The wall art elicited a debate among the ninth graders about Durant leaving the Thunder for the Golden State Warriors, as well as a chuckle out of the school principal.
It's only the first day, but they might as well give this man the Rookie Teacher of the Year award now.
