On October 31, Beijing time, Suns star Durant talked about the statue when he participated in a podcast. Recently, Wade became the first player in the history of the Heat to have a statue, and when asked which three are most likely to have a statue next, Wade's answer was James, Curry and Durant.

When asked if he could get a statue, Durant laughed and said, "I very, very doubt that I'm going to put a statue anywhere because I play basketball." I thank people for their love and respect for me. For me, that's enough. ”

"Wade and I are not in the same situation. He's Miami, he's the Heat, that's a different situation. Few players get the love of a city. It's usually only available to players who have a Hall of Fame-caliber career, a championship, and have been in a city for a long time. It's not like that, but there are people in the league who do. I saw Wade say I should have it, and I disagreed with him, but I thanked him for putting me on that list that would be honored for the statue. ”

AMERICAN MEDIA UPROXX REPOSTED DURANT'S REMARKS AND COMMENTED AS FOLLOWS-

"The statues of Cleveland's LeBron James and Golden State's Stephen Curry are locked, but another top star of their generation isn't counting on getting a statue anywhere. Kevin Durant, who has won two championships and a regular season MVP, is sure to be in the Hall of Fame, but he's been a basketball nomad throughout his career. ”

"Durant is a very pragmatic guy and he knows that statues are reserved for players who have been the face of a certain team for a long time. He played the longest time in Oklahoma City, but he didn't bring a championship to the Thunder and left with a bad relationship with the team to join rival Warriors — if anyone would get a statue in Oklahoma City, it would have to be Russell Westbrook. ”

"Durant won two championship trophies and Finals MVP in Golden State, but only spent four years on a team represented by Curry. His time in Brooklyn didn't accomplish much, and then, he joined the Suns to build a statue of Devin Booker before the statue of Durant, even if they could win a championship or two. ”
