Kevin Durant Shades Dennis Schröder in Viral Post After USA Olympic Gold Medal Win

Kevin Durant celebrated the United States' gold medal victory at the 2024 Paris Olympics with a jab at Team Germany star Dennis Schröder.

Durant captioned a photo of Team USA wearing gold medals with "ENTERTAINMENT & IQ," a reference to Schröder's criticism of American basketball earlier that day.

Schröder offered reporters a comparison between American and European basketball earlier on Saturday, after Germany lost 93-83 to Serbia in the bronze medal game.

"European basketball is no entertainment, it's straight IQ basketball, straight coaching," Schröder told reporters. "Really, really high IQ guys who know how to play the game. Serbia, Greece, Spain, France, Germany, so many teams out there who know how to play, is athletic, and I think there's a lot of people from Europe in the NBA who make some noise."

Durant, who contributed 15 points to the Americans' 98-87 victory over Team France, did not appear to appreciate Schröder's analysis.

In addition to responding to Schröder, Durant also took to X to celebrate the start Team USA players including himself got in the Amateur Athletic Union.

Two decades after Durant got his start playing in the AAU in the Washington, D.C. area, he is now the first men's basketball player in Olympic history to collect four gold medals.
