Kevin Durant Pokes Fun At Team USA Critics: “They Had Us Fourth Behind Slovenia… Are You Serious?”

 

Kevin Durant wasn’t letting any outside criticism slip following Team USA’s 87-82 win over France in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics to capture their fourth consecutive Olympic gold medal. 

Team USA inarguably had the best collection of talent and was initially the easy choice as the team to beat in this Olympics, but the team wasn’t immune to doubts and criticism, especially after dropping their two Exhibition games and falling short against France in their Olympics opener.

Never one to shy away from lashing out the critics, Kevin Durant took to Instagram where he poked fun at critics and reminded the people who placed Team USA behind the likes of Slovenia, France and Australia in the FIBA Power Rankings.

 

“Everybody who said we were going to take the L…They had some power rankings out. They had us fourth behind Slovenia. Come on, man. Talking about they’re catching up to us, like, are you serious? This skill is unmatched, you dig?”

“Shoutout to everybody that won this gold, everybody that chipped in and helped out. We’re going to the press conference, but I had to talk my s— real quick.”
