The real reason they are retiring his number is they are thankful he didn't go to the Lakers to team with Davis, LeBron and potentially Leonard, and decided to head to the Eastern conference.
Hey my bad on comment # 18. I thought it said Steph & not Seth.
There is a difference. Shaq brought the Heat a plus 17 win total and an NBA Championship.Shaq was in Miami for 4 years, won one title, no MVPs and got his jersey retired from the Heat

They are retiring his number because he got hurt and that’s just the touchy feely thing to do in this soft world we live in now days. 3 years does not warrant having your number retired, period.

I asked this question earlier.
Please name 1 player in NBA history to win 2 Finals MVPs in the same city that does not have their number retired.
Until someone can find an answer to that, there is simply no reason to say KD did not earn this on the court.
Does Lebron have his jersey retired? I don't think Wade even has his retired...yet. I was just wondering in comparison to this. @bksballer89
It is dumb. KD was not the reason they won. He was just part of it. 3 years is not nearly enough time to get your number retired. It's kind of like how most Hall of Fames have been diluted to the Halls of very good.

I’m not sure many people have said he didn’t earn it. The timing of this announcement is just a little bizarre in my opinion.
I think we could debate whether it should be retired. If Kawhi leaves Toronto and they immediately announce his number will be retired, I’d also think that’s bizarre, regardless of whether he deserves it or not.

When you own a team you can enforce that your wayDoesn’t change anything for me, 3 years doesn’t get your number retired, not for me.
No problem with it. Not sure why they didn't wait till his career is over, seems kinda strange and forced.
He could comeback late in his career you never know lol
You don'tIt's the millennial way.
Everyone deserves a trophy so they don't feel left out.
