Kevin Durant, one of the best NBA players of this century, spoke to ESPN and discussed some interesting topics.

In his conversation with them, the current member of the Houston Rockets expressed his intention to play in the 2028 Olympic Games, alongside Steph Curry and LeBron James.

“You guys, the media, have projected that. That narrative, where did the last dance thing come from? I didn’t say I wasn’t playing. LeBron said he wasn’t. You didn’t hear that from me or Steph.”

Durant spoke about the World vs. America matchup at the All-Star weekend.

“I just don’t like the talk around the USA versus European style of how you approach the game. All I hear is, ‘AAU is destroying the game; the Euros do it right while the Americans do it wrong.”

Forward also talked about how many people think that another national team, especially from Europe, might dethrone the USA in the future.

“It’s a lot of bulls— with that. I can read between the lines on that. It’s a shot at Black Americans. We’re controlling the sport. They’re tired of us controlling the sport. France is coming for you.’ Really? We smacked them boys.”
