News summary

Kevin Durant has officially become the all-time leading scorer in U.S. Olympic basketball history, surpassing Lisa Leslie's previous record of 488 points during Team USA's 122-87 victory over Brazil in the quarterfinals of the 2024 Paris Olympics. With 11 points scored in the game, Durant now has a total of 494 Olympic points and is close to reaching the 500-point milestone. This achievement adds to his legacy as he competes in his fourth consecutive Olympic Games, having previously won gold medals in London (2012), Rio de Janeiro (2016), and Tokyo (2020). While Durant's scoring prowess has been a key factor in Team USA's success, the team is also poised to continue its quest for gold with upcoming semifinal matches against Serbia. Additionally, French basketball has advanced to the semifinals, demonstrating strong performance despite limited contributions from star player Rudy Gobert. As Durant aims for a fourth gold medal, his historic Olympic scoring record further cements his place as one of the greatest players in USA Basketball history.
