Beijing time on April 1, how many jerseys can Durant retire in the future? Durant has made it clear in an interview that the Warriors and Thunder must retire his jersey or it will be of little benefit to basketball; Durant also said that Jordan and James will choose themselves for a 5-on-5 match.
In a recent interview with The Ringer reporter Logan Murdock, when talking about career honors, Durant said: "The Thunder must retire my jersey, if they don't retire my jersey, it will not even be good for basketball, and the same is true for the Golden State Warriors, who have invested all my time, respect and love on the court to get such recognition."
Durant also said that being named to the 75 biggest stars in history is a dream come true: Thank you to all the people who helped me get there. I was lucky enough to make some of the right decisions, and those decisions and the help from everyone got me to this point. Standing with the league's greatest players of 70 years and being part of this team is the only thing I've ever dreamed of. ”
Durant also thinks he may not be able to get as many championships as Jordan and James, but he does think he is qualified to play in the same game as them: I think so. If Jordan and James were to pick someone to play a five-on-five game, they would pick me. I'm going to be part of this ten-player race, that's how I feel.
As we all know, Durant's career began with the Supersonics (after which the team moved to Oklahoma and changed its name to the Thunder), wearing the No. 35 jersey to play for the Thunder for many years, once leading the team to the playoffs for 6 consecutive years, once leading the team to the Finals; during the Thunder period, Durant was selected as an All-Star 7 times, won the scoring champion four times and the regular season MVP, and the biggest regret was that he failed to lead the Thunder to the championship.
In 2016, the 3-1 lead in the Western Conference Finals was tragically reversed by the Warriors, Durant made the most controversial decision of his career this summer - leaving the Thunder and joining the Warriors; Durant helped the Warriors rule the West, won the championship twice in three years, and almost created a three-consecutive championship dynasty, Durant finally experienced the taste of winning the championship, and won the FMVP twice.
Now Durant is wearing the No. 7 shirt and is playing for the Nets, aiming to lead the team to the first championship in team history; if Durant can lead the Nets to win the championship, do you think Durant can retire three jerseys in the future?
