NBA Superstar Kevin Durant Praised for His PERFECT Description of Patriotism and Playing for Team USA

NBA star Kevin Durant was praised online for what many online believe is a perfect encapsulation of what it means to be patriotic in the United States.

Team USA on Thursday defeated Serbia in a thrilling Olympic semifinal matchup. These Olympic games are the first — and likely last — time that Durant, LeBron James, and Stephen Curry will represent the U.S. together.

Asked to reflect on what it means to represent his country, Durant offered a blunt yet honest assessment.

“A lot of bullshit happens in our country,” he said. “But a lot of great things happen, too.”
