Thousands of people reacted to the news on social media.

One person who sent out a message to Durant was his Team USA teammate Steph Curry.

Curry (via his Instagram story): "Congrats slim!!!"

Curry and Durant were teammates on the Golden State Warriors for three seasons.

In that span, they reached the NBA Finals all three times and won two titles.

This is their first time playing together on Team USA.

Curry is playing in the Olympics for the first time in his legendary career.

He has gotten off to a slow to the tournament, and finished Tuesday's game with seven points and one rebound while shooting 2/3 from the field in 17 minutes of playing time.

This is Durant's fourth time competing in the Olympics.

He has won three Gold medals (in 2012, 2016 and 2020).

Via USA Basketball: "From London 2012 to Paris 2024 & all the buckets in between, congratulations KD!

The new U.S. Olympic scoring leader."
