Kevin Durant has wrapped up the Paris Olympics in remarkable fashion, becoming the only player in history to win four gold medals in men’s basketball. After returning from injury to lead Team USA, Durant’s performance has fueled high expectations for the Phoenix Suns in the upcoming NBA season.

Amid this success, Durant’s time with the Golden State Warriors has come back into focus, especially through the words of his mother, Wanda Durant. Wanda recently boldly stated that if Team USA’s top scorer had stayed with the Warriors team, they could have dominated the league for years.
“We would’ve had 20 rings by now. And it was about 10 years ago. That’s how cold they were,” Wanda said on the latest episode of TV One’s “Raising Fame.
Durant joined the Warriors in 2016 and quickly made an impact, leading the team to two consecutive championships in 2017 and 2018. However, after the 2018 season, Durant left Golden State and signed with the Brooklyn Nets. He departed after a difficult 2019 NBA Finals, where he suffered a ruptured Achilles while playing against the Toronto Raptors.
Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant’s Unmatched Dominance in Elimination Games
Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry have shared the court for three seasons with the Golden State Warriors. While Durant eventually moved on to other teams, Curry has remained a Warrior for his entire career. Recently, an intriguing statistic about these two legends came to light.
Curry and Durant have never lost an elimination game when playing together. This impressive record includes a 3-0 run with the Warriors and a 4-0 performance in the 2010 FIBA World Cup.
Their other flawless 3-0 showing came in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Durant and Curry consistently stepped up and delivered their best performance when the stakes were at their highest. The duo’s understanding obviously was crucial for the USA’s 17th gold medal win.
