Kevin Durant has wrapped up the Paris Olympics in remarkable fashion, becoming the only player in history to win four gold medals in men’s basketball. After returning from injury to lead Team USA, Durant’s performance has fueled high expectations for the Phoenix Suns in the upcoming NBA season.

Amid this success, Durant’s time with the Golden State Warriors has come back into focus, especially through the words of his mother, Wanda Durant. Wanda recently boldly stated that if Team USA’s top scorer had stayed with the Warriors team, they could have dominated the league for years.

“We would’ve had 20 rings by now. And it was about 10 years ago. That’s how cold they were,” Wanda said on the latest episode of TV One’s “Raising Fame.

Durant joined the Warriors in 2016 and quickly made an impact, leading the team to two consecutive championships in 2017 and 2018. However, after the 2018 season, Durant left Golden State and signed with the Brooklyn Nets. He departed after a difficult 2019 NBA Finals, where he suffered a ruptured Achilles while playing against the Toronto Raptors.

Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant’s Unmatched Dominance in Elimination Games

Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry have shared the court for three seasons with the Golden State Warriors. While Durant eventually moved on to other teams, Curry has remained a Warrior for his entire career. Recently, an intriguing statistic about these two legends came to light.

Curry and Durant have never lost an elimination game when playing together. This impressive record includes a 3-0 run with the Warriors and a 4-0 performance in the 2010 FIBA World Cup.

Their other flawless 3-0 showing came in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Durant and Curry consistently stepped up and delivered their best performance when the stakes were at their highest. The duo’s understanding obviously was crucial for the USA’s 17th gold medal win.

Charles Barkley shares a bold take on Giannis AntetokounmpoGiannis Antetokounmpo and Charles Barkley
Since joining the NBA, Giannis Antetokounmpo has established himself as one of the league’s best players. The Milwaukee Bucks star reached new heights in 2021 when he led the Bucks to an NBA championship and earned Finals MVP honors. This was Antetokounmpo’s second MVP award, following his regular-season MVP win the previous year.

Recently, former NBA star Charles Barkley appeared on the Bill Simmons podcast and shared his thoughts on how Giannis can win another championship. Barkley claimed that while Antetokounmpo is an exceptional talent, he still needs to improve his game.

“Giannis has to get better as a basketball player. Just going downhill 1-on-5 isn’t going to work. It doesn’t work, and he’s a terrific player and a terrific kid, but he has to get better as a basketball player. I’m not a Milwaukee guy,” Barkley said.


Despite Barkley’s critique, Giannis already has a resume that rivals Barkley’s own NBA career. Last season, Antetokounmpo averaged 30.4 points, 11.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game when the Bucks ended the season with a record of 49-33.

Porter Jr. Claims Giannis Antetokounmpo Would Dominate Any NBA Era

While Giannis Antetokounmpo has faced criticism from figures like Kevin Garnett, he also has admirers, including Denver Nuggets star Michael Porter Jr. During his appearance on The Ringer’s Off Guard Podcast with Austin Rivers, Porter Jr. made a bold statement about Antetokounmpo’s talent.

“If you take some of these players and put them then… like, if you put Giannis [Antetokounmpo] in that era, he would’ve been the best player to ever touch a basketball,” Porter Jr. said.

The eight-time NBA All-Star will begin his upcoming season against the Boston Celtics on October 28. Fans will watch to see if he can live up to these high expectations again.

NFL Fans Are Losing Their Minds After Spotting Clear Evidence In New Video That Suggests Taylor Swift Will Be Performing At The Super Bowl Halftime Show In February

Taylor Swift is gearing up for another NFL season with the Kansas City Chiefs, having proven to be quite the good luck charm in 2023.

But fans now reckon she will headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show as well.

That is all thanks to a hype video the league released this week in which Swift was more prominent than some of its best players. Travis Kelce’s pop star girlfriend was shown five times in the clip, more than any player appeared.

Social media took this to mean that Swift will be the one performing at the Super Bowl LIX.

“Swift is in the hype video don’t be mad guys,” one fan wrote.

“She’s literally more famous than all of them combined… it’s called marketing,” said a second.

“It’s actually impressive how much Tswift clips you fit into this short video,” another user observed.

“It’s taylor dominance,” a comment read.

Fans Are Also Pissed Of At The NFL Over Taylor Swift’s Many Appearances

While Taylor Swift was front and center, some of the NFL’s most popular players were left out. That includes Joe Burrow, Brock Purdy, Justin Jefferson, Matthew Stafford, and C.J. Stroud. Reigning MVP Lamar Jackson was only shown once.

Fans were not best pleased and are now calling for the NFL to get off the Swift train this year.

“Call me crazy, but I think football needs LESS Taylor swift in 2024,” someone declared.

“Taylor needs to be Swiftly taken off our tv, keep it about football,” another added.

“NFL going full Swiftie makes me so uninterested to watch,” someone else claimed.

“Taylor Swift was shown 5 times in this 28 second clip of football being back,” another pointed out.

Of course, the league will do no such thing. Swift’s involvement brought them millions of new viewers last season. They’re counting on her to attract even more.

Meanwhile, the new NFL season is set to kick off this Thursday night, with the Chiefs playing in a rematch of last season’s AFC Championship Game against the Baltimore Ravens.
