Golden State to retire Durant’s number

[RobToxin]

Fact:

The Warriors won a title without Durant.

Durant did not win a title without the Warriors.

When you own a team you can enforce that your way

Uh, didn't you mean "govern" your own team?

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

lol that's the stupidest thing ever.

My mistake!

I don’t see the logic that other teams made bad decisions to retire jerseys so it’s alright for GS to be just as dumb.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Not with your mouth in the way I wouldn't.

That's not true. I'd only lick the side of grandpa's dick, so there'd still be room for your hand.

Hilarious.

Again.

2 time Finals MVP winner.

How much more do you want someone to do?

I don’t see a single Warrior fan on here saying it is a bad idea. And these ceremonies are 100% about the franchise and their fans.

So if the Blazers want to retire Dave Twardzik’s number and the Heat want to retire Dan Marino’s and Michael Jordan’s numbers, than so be it.

If the fans of the team are good with it, then everyone should be too.

And yes. Marino and Jordan do have their numbers retired by the Heat.

Warriors fans are gayer than the Warriors!

So you're suggesting a team effort?

That could work. lol

5 guys.

You act like it is unprecedented. It isn’t.

The only player on that list of 5 who accomplished anything close to what Durant did is Wilt. And he won 0 rings with Philly.

Wilt won a ring with the 76ers. And also played more than 3 seasons there.

Oddly enough, he actually played more games for “Philly” than any other city, though roughly half were with the Philadephia Warriors and not the 76ers.

He also was born in Philly, went to HS there, and is the most dominant player in NBA history. So he’s got a very strong connection to Philadephia outside of his career there.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

I hope you all have a happy and safe 4th of July!

Peace!

Wilt was only 3.5 seasons on the Sixers, so not much more than 3.

 

[trojanfan12]

i mean you kind of made my point for me, 5 guys? one because he died? (is that bobby phills?)

No he didn't. He flat proved you wrong...again.

You said:

find me a player that only played 3 years somewhere with his number retired.

You asked for 1 player. You were given a list of 5.

 

[knowyourenemy]

Wilt was only 3.5 seasons on the Sixers, so not much more than 3.

He played 69 more games with PHI than Durant with GS, so nearly a full season’s worth of games.

Not that it matters much. Just saying.

Does that include both players' playoff games?

 

[thunderc]

35

 

[knowyourenemy]

Does that include both players' playoff games?

No. Total playoff games played is misleading as the NBA has expanded playoffs now. But even with that, Wilt has 65 more games played still.

 

[msgkings322]

Don’t you mean when you govern a team?

You got ninja'd, see above

Damn
