Golden State Warriors to<br />Retire Kevin Durant’s Jersey In a statement released to Twitter,<br />Warriors CEO Joe Lacob announced his<br />decision to retire Durant’s No. 35 jersey. Joe Lacob, via statement Many fans are calling Lacob’s choice “unusual,”<br />as Durant ended his three year period with the<br />Golden State Warriors in favor of the Brooklyn Nets. The move was reportedly due to Durant feeling under-<br />appreciated by the Warriors, as well as “overshadowed”<br />by Warrior’s point guard Stephen Curry. Despite the controversy, Lacob highly<br />praised Durant in his statement, calling<br />him a “transformative” NBA player. Joe Lacob, via statement
