Kevin Durant impressed with fan's SKI Mask tattoo of the Team USA star: "That's crazy"
Kevin Durant is set to make his fourth appearance at the Olympic Games in Paris this summer. With just a week to go before the inaugural game, the excitement is building around Team USA as they go in search of a fifth consecutive gold medal. Fans are buzzing and one person chose to show his excitement with an elaborate tattoo of Kevin Durant, which the NBA superstar was extremely impressed with.
The photo capturing the Phoenix Suns star in a USA jersey and a ski mask inspired the fan to immortalize the image through the tattoo. The tattoo of Durant is accompanied with the words:
"Just a youngin from MD tryna get it."
The gesture did not go unnoticed, with the Phoenix Suns forward acknowledging the superfan with a shout-out on Instagram.
"That's crazy," responded Durant.
The 14-time All-Star has been known to sport the ski mask look on several occasions and once wore it during a postgame interview in 2021 after the Brooklyn Nets defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 124-120.

Durant made an immediate impact when he joined the NBA in 2007 and was named to the All-Star Game for the first time in 2010. In 2012, he was called up to the USA Men's National Team for the London Olympics. Durant has featured in the London (2012), Rio de Janeiro (2016) and Tokyo (2020) Olympics.
Team USA is once again the favorite to enter the tournament but could face stiff opposition from Serbia, France, Germany and Canada. Team USA will begin their defense against Serbia on July 28 before facing South Sudan and Puerto Rico in the group stages.
Durant will be desperate to win a gold medal in Paris, which could be his last time featuring in the Games.
