[Saba Sports News] Kevin Durant didn’t hold back after Team USA secured its fifth straight Olympic gold.
The U.S. men’s basketball team defeated France 98-87 in the gold medal game at Bercy Arena in Paris. Durant, in his first start of the tournament, contributed 15 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists in 31 minutes. But just hours after winning his fourth Olympic gold, Durant was already back on social media, taking aim at a fan.
The fan, with the username “SwipaCam” on X, had praised Serbia for nearly upsetting Team USA in the semifinals. Early Saturday morning, Durant, known for his active online presence, responded with a simple, three-word question: “Where u from??” questioning the fan’s loyalty.
Later that day, the same fan posted a photo of himself in a U.S. soccer uniform, celebrating the USWNT’s gold medal win and referencing Durant’s earlier comment with “#WhereYouFrom” in the caption. Durant replied with a meme of Ja Morant telling haters to “stay on that side.”
Despite the fan being a Denver Nuggets supporter, likely praising Serbian star Nikola Jokic, Durant’s history of engaging with fans online continues, showing his quick trigger for clapping back.
