Durant broke the record at the quarterfinal game against Brazil on Tuesday. With 3:06 left in the third quarter, Durant scored six points, bringing his totals to 489 in four Olympic appearances. Previous record holder, Leslie had 488 points and four gold medals in her four olympics appearances. Durant is on track to become the first male player in Olympic history with four golds.
Records are meant to be broken. Somebody will come along to do the same. I’m focused on trying to win this gold. – Kevin Durant
