The Netflix series, Court of Gold, following the USA, Serbia, Canada and France basketball teams at the 2024 Paris Olympics already gave viewers a sweet treat of the Serbian locker room tailspin after Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant’s perfect qualifying game against them.
In the opening group phase game between USA Basketball and Team Serbia, Durant came off the bench nursing a calf injury to score 23 points on 8-of-9 shooting from the field and 5-of-5 on 3-pointers in just under 17 minutes. USA won the game 110-84 to kickstart its gold medal campaign.

Episode two of the highly-anticipated series revealed a Durant-induced near-meltdown in the Serbian locker room between Serbian players Nikola Jokić and Bogdan Bogdanović and their coach Svetislav Pešić.
The clip treated USA fans all day of the premier of the sex-episode series, along with other touching clips like Durant breaking down in tears talking about basketball and what playing the game at the Olympic stage meant to him.
