In fact, he won gold medals both times while playing alongside people like Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, and others. As it turns out, he purposely lost weight before the Olympics, saying, “With summer basketball leading directly into the season — and I’m expecting to play until next June — I have to take some load off my knees.
