Warriors: Does Kevin Durant’s number belong in the rafters?

After their heartbreaking defeat in the infamous 2016 NBA Finals, the Golden State Warriors were devastated.

They capped off the best regular season in NBA history with a 73-9 regular-season record by blowing a three-games-to-one lead in the NBA Finals and ultimately losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

This devastation did not last long, however, when word got out that superstar forward Kevin Durant was headed to Golden State in a shocking turn of events.

The move stunned the basketball world as a former league MVP was going to join a team that went 73-9 the year prior and finished one game short of securing their second straight championship.
