Warriors retiring Durant's number 35. WTF?

[Tbonewannabe]

I know he brought 2 NBA Championships to the team but it wasn't like he carried a team like Kawhi did the Raptors. He was a hired gun that came onto a NBA Championship team and was there 3 years.

This just seems weird to me.

Very weird. I think it’s validated IF they hadn’t won before he got there. But they did... multiple championships. Very weird. Maybe it’s some guilt and reparations over his Achilles injury?

Weird that you care... maybe he and the GM had an amazing relationship? Maybe he's got pics of the owner with a goat... I personally find it crazy that his new team is paying him $41 million per year, guaranteed. I suppose before I die someone will be making $100M / year?!?!

This is ridiculous - he's not a franchise icon in my mind. If you mention the Warriors I still think of Curry and maybe even Draymond in my head before I get to Durant.

When he goes into the HOF will he ever wear a Warriors jersey?

But hey, it's California

I just found it odd and care enough to make a thread on a message board when there isn't a lot going on.

I mean it’s a message board to discuss sports...
