Kevin Durant scored 30 points in the 2012 and 2016 gold medal games, and 29 points in 2021 game. His Olympic scoring average is 19.3 points per game, which is the highest scoring average among team USA players all-time.

It’s kind of crazy KD is able to put up these numbers given how stacked team USA usually is.

    I wonder what it is about Olympic ball that allows pure scorers like KD and Melo to thrive.

      When these dudes are hot there’s nothing they can stop them, add in that Olympic defenses can’t double or even slack off other players means guys like KD get to go 1 on 1 against guys that have little chance against them.
