Kevin Durant had already established himself as Team USA’s all-time leading scorer in Olympic history, as well as holding the record for the most rebounds.
With Team USA’s recent Olympic victory, the Phoenix Suns star further enhanced his impressive resume by adding even more records to his name.
Durant is now the first four-time Olympic gold medalist in men’s basketball. After getting his fourth medal in hand, Durant could not but brag about his achievement.
For this, he chose to follow the footprints of LeBron James’ iconic Miami Heat speech.
“Not 1, not 2, not 3. 4,” Durant said.
For those unfamiliar, James made his iconic speech during his introductory press conference with the Miami Heat in 2010. He was asked about the number of NBA titles he expected to win with the team, and then he came up with the iconic answer.
The key difference between James and Durant’s speeches is that Durant made his remarks after securing his four gold medals, while James made his ambitious statement before even donning a Heat jersey.
LeBron James Praises Kevin Durant After Team USA’s Gold Medal Victory
Following Team USA’s thrilling 98-87 victory over France in the Paris Olympics, LeBron James had high praise for his teammate Kevin Durant. The Paris Olympics MVP didn’t hold back in expressing his admiration for KD’s contribution to the team’s success.
“KD is one of the all-time greats. If you look at his silhouette, look at his skill, he is one of the best players we have ever seen play the game of basketball. No matter your opinion about him or whether you like him, if you really just look at basketball and say basketball player talent, he is out of this world,” James said.
Durant contributed 15 points, four rebounds, and four assists in the final to help secure the win for Team USA.
With this latest achievement, Durant has now scored 518 career points across four Olympic Games, making him the all-time leading scorer for Team USA in Olympic history.
