Kevin Durant takes to Instagram to showcase “admiration” for teammate, Stephen Curry

Team USA star Kevin Durant has been one of the most crucial and consistent players in Team USA basketball history at the Olympics. However, in his side’s most recent matchup, it was his teammate, Stephen Curry, who stepped up in the need of the hour, scoring a monstrous 36-points game-high against the Serbians.

After the match, Durant took to Instagram to showcase his “love and admiration” for Curry as he posted a few pictures that had Curry and him standing beside each other on his Instagram stories. In addition, Curry shared his thoughts after the thrilling comeback victory, as he told the reporters.

On the other hand, Durant is solely focused on achieving a historic fifth gold medal for his nation and creating another piece of history for himself. However, it won’t be an easy task as they face an in-form French side consisting of top players like Victor Wembanyama and Rudy Gobert in the Finals of the 2024 Paris Olympics basketball competition.
