Netflix’s new documentary series, “Court of Gold,” has captivated basketball fans with its behind-the-scenes look at the 2024 Paris Olympics. One of the standout moments in the series features Kevin Durant’s incredible performance against Serbia, which left the Serbian locker room in shambles.
During the game, Durant was virtually unstoppable, scoring 21 points in just eight minutes of action. His performance was so dominant that it prompted a heated exchange in the Serbian locker room. Coach Svetislav Pesic was visibly frustrated, exclaiming,
“No other player is of your concern, he is your only concern! I should have assigned a different player to guard Durant! And he gets the ball as if… he is alone as a ghost!”

This moment highlights Durant’s reputation as one of the most unguardable players in basketball history. Throughout his career, Durant has consistently proven difficult to defend due to his combination of height, skill, and shooting ability. Standing at 6-foot-11 with a 7-foot-5 wingspan, Durant’s offensive arsenal is nearly unparalleled.
Durant’s journey to becoming an unguardable force began in 2007 when he was drafted second overall by the Seattle SuperSonics. He quickly made a name for himself with his smooth shooting stroke and ability to score from anywhere on the court.
In the 2024 Olympics, Durant’s performance against Serbia was a testament to this unguardable nature. His ability to score effortlessly against top-tier international competition showcased why he is considered one of the greatest players of his generation, and as one of the game’s elite scorers.
