Will the Thunder Ever Retire Kevin Durant’s No. 35?

Kevin Durant was the foundational star for OKC—the franchise MVP, led them to multiple Conference Finals and the 2012 Finals. By accolades alone, you’d think his jersey would be heading to the rafters. But the sentiment among fans is a lot more complicated. Fans Are Skeptical Durant’s decision to leave OKC for Golden State still stings. As one fan bluntly put it: “If you put it to a vote in OKC… it would be a landslide NO.” Media Take: According to recent coverage, it’s not just about stats—it’s about relationships and loyalty. One writer says: “By pure accolades, he should. But a jersey retirement goes deeper than that. OKC hasn’t welcomed him back with open arms.” Durant’s Response: When asked if the Thunder should retire his jersey, Durant stayed diplomatic. He wrote: “Muse pages and Stan accounts don’t make none of these decisions.” What Thunder Legend Nick Collison Thinks: Collison—whose No. 4 is already retired by the Thunder—believes Durant deserves to be honored one day, calling him a big part of what OKC did here. So, what do you think? Does KD’s legacy in OKC outweigh the bitterness of his departure? Or do you think it’s better left unretired? #NBA #KevinDurant #OKC #Thunder #NBADebate #MVP #Sports
