🔥 Talk about making a comeback! Kevin Durant was unstoppable as he led Team USA to a smashing 110-84 victory over Serbia in their first men's basketball game at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Sunday. 🇺🇸🏀
Despite missing all five warm-up matches due to a calf injury, Durant, aka the \"Slim Reaper,\" showed no signs of rust. 🎯 After just a few training sessions with his teammates, he stepped onto the court and delivered a performance for the ages.
Durant was on fire from the get-go, sinking each of his first eight shots, including five downtown bombs! 💣 He racked up 23 points, with a whopping 21 coming in the first half alone. Talk about setting the tone! 😎
\"I've been playing ball my whole life, so I simplified it,\" Durant said post-game. \"And when the ball touched my hand, I was aggressive.\" 💪🔥
While Durant was lighting up the scoreboard, teammate Joel Embiid had his struggles on the court. But with KD's leadership and the team's overall chemistry, Team USA proved they are the squad to beat this Olympics. 🥇
This dominant win sends a strong message to the rest of the competition. Can anyone stop Team USA when Durant is in beast mode? Stay tuned, hoop fans! 🏀✨
