Which NBA stars do we expect to see in the 2028 Olympics?
LeBron James, Steph Curry and Kevin Durant led Team USA to another gold at the Paris Olympics, and it’s a good thing because the team will look VERY different in 2028. But which stars can we expect to see back?
Kevin Durant is basking in the glory of another Olympic gold medal for Team USA men’s basketball, his fourth.
But the Phoenix Suns star still had time to make a point to an X user in the aftermath of Team USA’s 98-87 2024 Paris Olympics gold medal game win over France.
Durant took to X (formerly Twitter) with a picture of Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant after the United States’ victory Saturday, replying to a post from another X user.
Why would Durant post a picture of Morant, who wasn’t on Team USA?
The photo Durant posted of Morant was from a video of the guard telling people to “stay on that side” after a Memphis Grizzlies game.

Morant replied to the post, with the message, “talk to em !!”
It wasn’t Durant’s first response to that same account.
After Team USA narrowly defeated Serbia in the semifinals on Thursday, the account, @SwipaCam, posted: “Serbia just took the most talented team in the history of the planet to the wire with a medal on the line. Team USA was a 16 point favorite. The whole country should be proud.”
Durant’s response? “Where u from??”

@Swipa Cam later posted photos of him in a Team USA uniform, which prompted Durant’s “stay on that side” message.
Along with the gold medals, Durant is now the highest-scoring basketball player in Olympic history for the United States, cementing a legacy of greatness at the Summer Games for his country …
All while continuing to troll people on social media.
Impressive.
