Kevin Durant, the 35-year-old basketball player, is not yet satisfied. He has just announced that he will be participating in the Olympics in Paris next year, during a press conference with his team, the Phoenix Suns. As a three-time Olympic champion, Durant dreams of winning a fourth gold medal, which would solidify his status as a legendary athlete. The United States’ Dream Team has dominated the competition since 1988, winning consecutive titles.
While Durant has made his decision, Joel Embiid from the Philadelphia Sixers is still undecided. He has expressed his desire to compete in the Paris Games but has not yet chosen which country to represent. Embiid, who was born in Cameroon, is considering representing his home country, the United States, or France. He plans to make his decision soon.
“The choice is difficult because I was born in Cameroon and have always wanted to represent my country. But my goal is also to play, and if Cameroon were qualified, the decision would have been easier. However, things are uncertain, and I really want to play in the Olympics. The USA has faced difficulties in recent years, and France is also a strong contender. It’s a tough choice, but I will likely make my decision in the next few days,” stated Embiid.
The basketball community eagerly awaits Embiid’s decision and follows closely as the preparations for the Olympics in Paris continue.
