Oklahoman paper apologizes for Durant headline

The Oklahoman newspaper printed a sports page headline Thursday that read “Mr. Unreliable” over a photo of Kevin Durant.

Durant’s mother, Wanda Pratt, came to her son’s defense on Twitter: “UNBELIEVABLE!! KEVIN is RELIABLE!!!”

In an online apology, Sports Editor Mike Sherman wrote that the headline was “overstated and unduly harsh.” He clarified that it was focused on Durant’s play against Memphis, rather than the NBA scoring champion’s body of work.
