Kevin Durant arrived in Paris with a Summer Games hoops legacy that was already among the best ever, but he will return to the United States as arguably the most successful Olympics player of all-time.
Following Saturday’s 98-87 victory versus France in the men’s final, Durant is now the first male basketball talent to win four Olympic gold medals, per ClutchPoints. Although the spotlight was not always on him during the last two weeks, the 35-year-old is an invaluable member of this group and Team USA history.
In what is likely his final game on the international stage, Durant scores 15 points on 5-of-12 shooting to go with four rebounds and four assists. Stephen Curry and LeBron James understandably command most of the attention after this latest global conquest, but the other member of this elder statesmen triumvirate leaves a mark in Paris as well.
