Durant (name)
spoke to the media after training camp in preparation for the Olympics about the
USA men's basketball team
Comparison with the last Tokyo Olympics.
Durant said, "Regardless of the lineup, our goal is the same every time we go on the court, and that's not to lose. I think compared to the Tokyo Olympics one, this team is by far the strongest one I've ever played on. Every player is a starter on their own team. In the last Olympics, we had a few young role players who eventually got their chance through hard practice, which was great. But they weren't the core of the team yet. And this team is full of Hall of Fame caliber players from top to bottom."
Durant's words demonstrated confidence in the new U.S. men's basketball team and a high opinion of the team's overall strength.
