The 2024 Summer Olympics have officially been underway for a few days.
Many events have already concluded, but for men’s basketball, the fun is just beginning.
Team USA has wrapped up their first two games, winning them with ease.
One of the advantages Team USA has over its competitors is its roster construction.
This roster is chock-full of All-Stars, making their starting five and bench extremely difficult to defend for an entire game.
Not only does Team USA have some all-time players, but according to coach Mike Krzyzewski, they have the best player in Olympic basketball history.
Krzyzewski told Jim Rome via Clutch Points that Kevin Durant is the best Team USA player of all time, saying, “I think he is, because of longevity and accomplishment. Again, it’s unique, but the amount of points he has scored, he has scored a lot more than anyone else.”

Durant does lead Team USA in all-time points at the Olympics, a number that will continue to climb as these games go on.
He recently surpassed Carmelo Anthony, who held the record before him, and now, Durant could put this number out of reach.
Despite being one of the older players on the roster, Durant continues to show that he’s a force to be reckoned with, and that his opponents shouldn’t take him lightly.
