You could just press the 'KD want to leave' button anytime you want some attention… It's hard not to hear what they got to say about you. Because especially when you could just make up lies and everybody gonna believe you.
Kevin Durant told Yahoo Sports

He seemed to be responding to comments from Stephen A. Smith, who suggested that the Suns wanted to move on from Durant. With a talented roster that includes Bradley Beal, Devin Booker, Jusuf Nurkic, and Grayson Allen, Durant is confident in the team’s ability to compete.

Kevin Durant, a veteran of three Olympic gold medal teams, is impressed by the talent on the US Men’s basketball team ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics. After the first day of practice, Durant reflected on the opportunity to learn from and compete with some of the best players in the game. 

I mean, it's definitely a deeper team that I think I've played on since I've been with USA… Everybody is the guy on their team… Like these guys are Hall of Famers, All-Star, you know, so I'm excited about this.

Durant, the all-time leading scorer for Team USA, has been a key figure in the team’s recent successes. However, he acknowledges that the 2024 squad is even more loaded than previous teams, with a deeper pool of talent. 

Despite this, Durant is aware that the international competition has also improved, and teams like Canada, France, Germany, and Serbia pose a significant challenge to the US’s reign of dominance. The US team will begin their Olympic journey on July 28 against Serbia, and Durant is eager to lead the team to another gold medal.
