Williams, Redick) so perhaps we are used to it. It's just different history and different perspective of another school, and, honestly, a different era. Durant won't be the first. I wouldn't be surprised if Beasley's number gets retired as well. (Have any consensus MOP's ever not had their jersey retired by their school -- maybe Brand, but Rip Hamilton won some awards that year too)
