By the end of his career, does Durant get his jersey retired anywhere? (alien.top)

Was wondering since he’s obviously a first ballot HoF but since he’s had a bit of a polarizing career, what do you all think? I would think not since he wasn’t with GSW long enough despite winning championships. And maybe if he didn’t leave OKC the way he did, he might’ve gotten one there I’d think but that leave was too painful.

Warriors have only retired 6 jerseys so it actually is an honor to retire Iggy and likely KD. And KD is no handout jersey retirement for obvious reasons. He will be retired by the Warriors for sure and whether he's retired by the Thunder will be based on fan response, but think the likelihood is pretty high. People forget bad blood stuff after a while and remember the entertainment and joy a player brought them.

The Warriors said they're gonna retire fucking Iggy's jersey, they're obviously gonna retire KDs

Seattle obviously

OKC should

OKC and GS at minimum and likely Phoenix.

He should have it retired in both GSW and OKC.

Y’all crazy is you think OKC will retire his jersey. People here legit HATE him. He spurned a franchise by refusing to communicate if he wanted out. Leaving a franchise for the franchise that just beat you down 1-3. Call it strategy, here we call that being a bitch.

To be fair, Clay Bennett screwed Seattle by moving the franchise to Oklahoma City.

Also wtf does that have to do with KD?

[–] SwaggyMcDoogle@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They wouldn’t fund an arena. What’s he supposed to do, play in a dump?

He’ll have his jersey retired in Candyland with all the other cupcakes

OKC and golden state
