The Texas Longhorns will retire the jersey of Oklahoma City forward Kevin Durant, according to a report by columnist Tim Griffin from ESPN.

"We've given this a lot of thought over the years," Texas Athletic Director DeLoss Dodds said Friday. "With the completion of renovations at our football and baseball stadiums, as well as Kevin joining T.J. (Ford) as a national player of the year, we feel that now is the right time to honor some of the greatest of our really great players."
