Following Team USA’s win over France in the championship game, Adebayo offered major praise for Phoenix Suns star forward Kevin Durant.

“He has put the stamp on being the greatest Olympian,” Adebayo said. “He has imprinted his name at the top.”

Durant played a key role in helping Team USA win the gold medal this summer, and that is far from the only accomplishment he can stamp his name on when it comes to his illustrious career on the international stage.

Durant’s Team USA teammate and longtime NBA rival LeBron James also reflected on Durant’s greatness on the international stage.

“KD is one of the all-time greats,” James said. “If you look at his silhouette, look at his skill, he is one of the best players we have ever seen play the game of basketball. No matter your opinion about him or whether you like him, if you really just look at basketball and say basketball player talent, he is out of this world.”

With the win on Saturday, Durant became the first player to win four gold medals in men’s Olympic basketball history. He also became Team USA’s all-time leader in points scored.

Considering the long list of incredible players who have played before and alongside Durant, it certainly is an incredible achievement.

During the 2024 Olympics, Durant averaged 13.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game.

Arguably, his best game came when Team USA needed it most, in the championship round against a talented and highly motivated French side. In that game, Durant finished with 15 points, four rebounds and four assists, along with one block and one steal. He helped steady the ship throughout the game as France refused to go away.
