Holiday reminded the reporter just how good of a player Durant is.
Team USA narrowly defeated Germany 92-88 in the final matchup of Olympic exhibition play before the Paris Games begin next week.
Team USA head coach Steve Kerr was asked if there was any question about bringing Durant to Paris. After Kerr confirmed that there wasn't even a thought to leave Durant off the final Team USA roster, the reporter followed up about whether or not inserting the Phoenix Suns star into the lineup once healthy would disrupt the rhythm of the current rotation.
"That's Kevin Durant, my boy," Holiday said with a chuckle. "What are we talking about? That's KD. He needs to be out there."Reporter: “Is there a concern of working him in just because you have him?”
