Kevin Durant has once again proved who is the greatest player ever in the history of the United States national team. After sweeping the Americans to fourth straight gold this morning (Saturday) with 29 points in an 82-87 victory over France in the final in Saitama, there is no shadow of a doubt left, as the numbers illustrate: this was Durant's third Olympic gold medal, an achievement that only Carmelo Anthony came before; In his three finals, he averaged 30 points; During the tournament he became the top scorer in the United States at the Olympics; He signed the three tournaments with the highest points average of an American player; And leads the U.S. all-time charts in a host of statistical categories (threes and penalty shots, among others).

His performance this morning drew enthusiastic reactions in the United States, which understands that beyond the impressive dominance of American basketball (since the U.S. began sending NBA players to the 1992 Olympic tournament, it won 7 of the 8 gold medals), in the last three Olympics it has been mostly male dominance One, perhaps the greatest national team player of all time.

"Some people call KD 'Captain America,' and it seems justified after his show today," tweeted Stephen A. Smith.

"The best scorer in the world. We already knew that, didn't we? It's amazing to see this man bring home the gold medal!", Kendrick Perkins wrote.

The Washington Post praised Durant, noting that "the Olympics have always been KD's way to clean up. He lost to LeBron in the playoffs, and stole the show in London. He surrendered to Steph and left OKC, leading to gold in Rio. This year he lost to Yannis, saving everyone in Tokyo. What makes this gold even more amazing is the fact that if the games had taken place in 2020 as planned, he could not have played because he had still recovered from the rupture in the Strip.Think about it: two years ago we all wondered if he would be the same player again, and now he saves the honor Of the nation.
