The U.S. defeated Serbia in the semifinals and France in the final. The two games were a close game. It wasn't overwhelming, but Stephen Curry exploded dramatically and won.
It was the Paris Olympics, which symbolized the leveling of the world's men's basketball and made us feel the greatness of the U.S. national team at the same time.
The `Lepducker' trio was powerful. It was a legend.
Among them, Kevin Durant had many twists and turns.
Durant missed all of the U.S. national team warm-up matches due to an injury to his calf. He rarely recovered 100% from a calf injury.
However, he was very active from the U.S. finals. In particular, there was no card to stop Durant on a one-on-one basis. With Durant's addition, LeBron James and Curry's intensive checks were inevitably reduced, and the synergy effect was significant.
Now, Durant is 35 years old. Durant, who also led the U.S. national team at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, will no longer be seen in the national team.
Then, I vented. I'm considering retirement.
CBS Sports said on the 13th (Korea time) 'Pinix Sons star Kevin Durant won his fourth Olympic gold medal on behalf of the U.S. national team. He will soon focus on his 17th NBA season. He admitted in recent years that he has begun to think about retirement'
In an interview with local media outlet TV One, Durant vented 'The older you get in the league, the younger the league, the more you tend to think about retirement.'
