Lately there has been talk about Golden State Warriors raising a statue tribute Kevin Durant. In fact, one of the the biggest advocates is a former NBA player Paul Pierceaccording to The No Fouls Given podcast.

Practically speaking, Pierce believes Durant is worthy of such an honor. Mostly he cites Durant’s success in the Bay Area.

“Two (championships) and two Finals MVPs. (Kevin) Durant gets a statue in Golden State. … I’m giving him a statue from those 3-pointers he pulled down late on the left side over LeBron (James). Give him that statue.”

In all, Durant played three seasons for the Warriors. In total, he played during the 2016-17 and 2018-19 seasons. In the process, the Warriors won two championships in 2017 and 2018. During both Finals, Durant was named MVP.

At that time, the Warriors were in the middle of a dynasty. Steve Kerr was still the head coach, and Steph Curry and Draymond Green were at the top of their games.

In addition, Durant was named to the All-Star team three times (2017, 2018 and 2019). Additionally, his streak with the Warriors included him being named to the All-NBA team three times.

During his time with Golden State, Durant shot 53.7% from the field and played a total of 144 games.

In 2019, Durant was traded to the Brooklyn Nets. Currently, Durant plays for the Houston Rockets.

Pierce played 19 seasons in the NBA. He played 15 of those seasons for the Boston Celtics. In 2008, Pierce helped lead the Celtics to the NBA title, playing alongside Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo.
