Devin Booker's New Nickname For Kevin Durant After He Made Team USA History Says It All

Kevin Durant has become the all-time leading scorer in the history of USA Olympic Basketball.

Durant tallied 11 points in Team USA's 122-87 win against Brazil during the 2024 Olympic Games quarterfinals in Paris, elevating his career total to 494 points, thereby overtaking Lisa Leslie as the top scorer in Olympic basketball for both men and women.

Leslie scored 488 points and secured four gold medals with Team USA in the 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2008 Olympics. Durant, who previously clinched gold in the 2012, 2016, and 2020 Games, is now in pursuit of his fourth gold medal in Paris, aiming to equal Leslie's record.

Devin Booker, Durant's fellow Phoenix Suns star and Team USA teammate, has coined a new nickname for Durant following his remarkable achievement in international competition.

"That's Captain America status," Booker told NBC on Monday. "I feel like he has every record, every Olympic record. Now we have to get him his fourth gold."

Durant scored in double digits alongside five other players, joining Booker (18 points), Anthony Edwards (17), Joel Embiid (14), Anthony Davis (13), and LeBron James (12).

Durant, also known as "Captain America," and Team USA are set to face the Nikola Jokic-led Serbian team in the Olympic semifinals on Thursday. The Americans previously defeated Serbia 110-84 in the group opener on July 28
