During the 2024 Paris Olympics, Durant became the first men's basketball player to win four gold medals. Furthermore, the Phoenix Suns star is also the all-time leading scorer in Olympic basketball history and has the American record for three-point field goals made during the Olympics (88).

The Golden State Warriors tried to trade for LeBron James and Kevin Durant at the same time before acquiring Jimmy Butler, an NBA source told Hoops Wire.

Kevin Durant's former head coach, Steve Kerr, considers him the greatest Olympic basketball player of all time—and so does LeBron James. “Kevin’s the greatest men's Olympic player of all time,” Kerr said during Netflix’s Court of Gold.

LeBron James admitted agreeing with coach Steve Kerr on the selection of the best men’s Olympic player in history. LeBron James has had the opportunity to compete in four Olympic Games, making him one of the most experienced players in international basketball.
