With the Olympic Games just months away, Kevin Durant has set ambitious goals for Team USA as they aim to secure gold for the fifth consecutive time.
The last instance Team USA failed to clinch gold was in 2004, when Argentina defeated them in the semifinals. Before that, in 1988, they were bested by the USSR, also in the semifinals.
However, with the global talent pool rising, the Olympics might not be the easy win for TeamUSA that they have been in previous years, despite still being favorites. This was highlighted in the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup, where USA finished 4th.
