A video of the incident was released to the entire world by TMZ on Friday morning.
It's easy to entertain conspiracy theories regarding who might have leaked the video and why . As of yet, there haven't been any hints as to where the footage came from. But the likeliest scenario, based on historical precedent and common sense, is that TMZ paid a team employee a large sum of money for the video.how TMZ usually obtains these videos, and also revealed how much the site paid for some of its most high-profile stories.
In total, TMZ has spent millions of dollars paying sources who contact the outlet's tip line offering photos or videos, the New Yorker reported. TMZ is not subtle about soliciting tips: The tip line is printed right at the top of the website with a big red banner asking if a reader has"Got a tip?" When Nicholas Schmidle, the writer of the New Yorker story, told TMZ founder Harvey Levin that"the Society of Professional Journalists condemns the practice of paying sources, saying that it 'threatens to corrupt journalism,'" Levin replied with, “There’s nothing wrong with it," and"The video is still the video. So who cares whether you pay money for it?”
There aren't many people who would have access to the Warriors' practice footage, so it's reasonable to guess that whoever did give TMZ the video was paid an amount of money that would make getting fired worth it.
