Kevin Durant downplays potential Warrior statue
Kevin Durant is on a mission to help Houston Rockets secure a championship, and knows what challenges are needed to get there. During his time with Golden State Warriorshe helped the franchise win two straight, while also winning the Finals MVP both years. Some would say that when all is said and done, Durant should be honored with a banner honoring what he did with the Warriors in those three seasons he was with the team.
Then, you have people who have gone a step further and think Durant should get a statue outside the Warriors’ arena. That’s what Paul Pierce suggested during a recent podcast appearance.
“I’m giving him a statue from those threes he made late on the left over LeBron. Give him that statue. Come on, dog, give Durant a statue,” Pierce said.
Durant sees and hears everything on social mediaso it’s no surprise that he found a recording of Pierce’s suggestion. It’s also no surprise that he added his own opinion.
“I passionately disagree. A small mural outside the men’s bathroom maybe, but even that might be too much. Those banners are enough to be honest,” Durant wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Durant has since deleted the post, but it doesn’t seem like he was a fan of the statue idea. The mural outside the bathroom may also have been a bit dramatic, which is probably why he deleted the post.
There’s no doubt that at some point the organization will honor Durant for what he’s been able to do in his short time with the team. No one will forget what the Warriors did to teams on a nightly basis back then, and how easily they could have won two championships.
