Griner gave Durant a peck on the cheek as an apology and a joke.
When Brittney Griner kissed Kevin Durant he moved away from her, gave her a seemingly dirty look and told her that she was lucky he loved her. The interaction was a funny and innocent moment between friends.
At the Tokyo Olympics that were held in 2021, both the United States men’s and women’s teams were able to secure the Gold medal without much difficulty.
On the men’s side of things Kevin Durant led the way serving as the team’s main source of offense and playing the role of a leader in a rather inexperienced squad, he also showed up on defense showing a drive to win. He was named the tournament MVP by FIBA.
On the women’s side of things, Breanna Stewart led the way by playing a very well-rounded brand of basketball. She scored points when she had to but did well by averaging the most rebounds per game in the tournament and also serving as the United States women’s team’s best facilitator and led the team in assists per game.
