In The Ringer’s latest article, Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant disclosed his thoughts on the conversation about whether or not the Oklahoma City Thunder should retire his jersey number 35 despite an ugly 2016 divorce.
“‘OKC has to retire my jersey,’ he continues. “It wouldn’t even be good for the game of basketball if they didn’t.'”
Considering that Durant is a top-15 player of all time and spent the first nine seasons of his career with the Thunder franchise, it goes without saying that the team will likely retire his jersey in the future. Even if there are still hard feelings between the fanbase and Durant. The only caveat I’ve seen Thunder fans made from retiring Durant’s jersey is that it has to happen after Russell Westbrook gets his number zero retired. Which probably will be the case.
