After some real doubts as to whether former Texas basketball star Kevin Durant and the United States could claim the Gold Medal in the 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan, the team got it done. Team USA hit some bumps in the road, but eventually still claimed the Gold Medal after knocking off, and subsequently getting revenge against, France on Aug. 6.
It was once again the Brooklyn Nets superstar forward and former Longhorn KD that spearheaded the effort for Team USA. He was instrumental in this close victory over the French, which came by the final score of 87-82.
