Kevin Durant wants Team USA winning by 40-50 points at Olympics
“Interesting in seeing how you work and what makes you, you, because all greats are going to be here,” Kevin Durant said in the Boardroom interview. “So I’m excited about that, but the accolade piece, having four (gold medals). I think I’d be the only one. … Let’s go get four. I want to really make a statement on how dominant our players are. Like 40, 50-point wins. I want to do that.”

Royce O’Neale with the starters
Super-sized lineup with KD, Bol & Nurk
New small-ball options

More on this storyline
As Kevin Durant continued to name players, Kleiman named the 7-footer Joel Embiid, the reigning MVP who is out with a knee injury, as someone to battle one-on-one. Hold up. “I don’t know about Joel,” Durant said. “I don’t know if I can go 1s with him. He might just hit me with the shoulder, but just being around these dudes and seeing how they work every day. Seeing what their routine is before a game. Seeing what they’re drinking and eating and how they’re stretching. I look at all that little stuff because I’m just so interested in seeing how you work.” -via Arizona Republic / February 29, 2024
Gerald Bourguet: “It’s more so about how I approach the game than, at this point in my career, just getting extra work in, ‘cause I know how to shoot the ball already.” Kevin Durant said his post-All-Star shooting struggles are mostly a mental thing, and that taking out bad 3s will help: pic.twitter.com/X9hsateMS4 -via Twitter @GeraldBourguet / February 28, 2024
Duane Rankin: “I just want to make it through 35.” Kevin Durant when @CamCox12 asked him if he could see himself playing another 10 years as he had answered a previous question about playing against LeBron James. “Ten years, another 10 years would be crazy.” Durant is 35 years old. #Suns pic.twitter.com/Elp9JR1UbW -via Twitter @DuaneRankin / February 28, 2024
