Kevin Durant Is Team USA’s Alpha Dog

The projections were correct. This team will go as far as Durant carries it, with Derrick Rose as a capable copilot. Durant has shown confidence in shooting early, and shone against Slovenia by creating offense from defense. The Americans had five first-quarter dunks, some thanks to turnovers and transition.

“I’m just being aggressive within the offense,” he said. “I may take some bad shots, but my teammates, they don’t mind.”

He is playing alpha dog with aplomb, but there is a concern of what happens if he struggles.
