    Honestly 4 Olympic golds medals in men’s basketball probably won’t be reached again by a player after Durant accomplishes that this summer.

    If these Olympics had been anywhere other than France, it would have been KD and Ant playing. LeBron, Steph, AD … they are all there for the wine and shopping at LV.

    kd is The greatest player in the HISTORY of the US National Team, Melo is “just” 3-2 internationally and was part of the teams that went 3rd in olympics ’04 & world cup ’06, I dunno if that is really good enough to call him 2nd all time.
    KD at 1 is legit tho, he is 4-0. 3 olympics, 1 world cup and efficiency wise he is lightyears ahead of Melo mj and bron
