Owens could not hide his disappointment over a clip making the rounds on the internet featuring the NBA player Josh Hart. The 28-year-old guard who is poised to ink an $81 Million contract extension with the New York Knicks was recently spotted at a restaurant in New York. The guard was seen dining alone at a table, in the viral clip. Hart however notices that he was being filmed and can be seen glaring at the camera. The swirling speculations are Hart was alone as his date failed to show up.
Owens took issue with filming the NBA player without his consent and continuing it even when Hart noticed it. He was quick to stand up for the guard, rebuking the act. Taking to Twitter, Owens condemned the disrespectful gesture.
