If you're a fan of legendary NBC show "The Office", you're probably familiar with the "Work Bus" episode from Season 9. It's one of the better post-Michael Scott episodes of the show.
One of the memorable scenes from that episode is when the Dunder Mifflin staff sings a song on their way to pick up some delicious pies.
TNT edited the video to swap in the Nets players' faces and head coach Steve Nash's face. The whole thing actually flows really well. But the funniest part comes at the end when Simmons' face is put on Creed Bratton, who, in the episode, is trying to skip work.

TNT and Durant have been going at it for a few days.
It started earlier in the week when Charles Barkley criticized Durant and called him a "bus rider" on the Golden State Warriors teams that won the 2017 and 2018 NBA Finals.
Durant fired back by posting a picture of Barkley with the late 1990s Houston Rockets, implying that the Hall of Fame forward tried to chase titles himself.
TNT's response? The scene from "The Office" above. Sorry KD, it's not wise to start a feud with the TNT producers. They are going to win every time.
