How did Kevin Durant and Devin Booker celebrate winning their gold medal at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris with the US men’s basketball team?
Of course they went on vacation.
But the Phoenix Suns teammates did not go to Disneyland, Disneyworld or Disneyland Paris after their 1998/87 Olympic victory against France.
They headed to the popular French Mediterranean summer destination of Saint-Tropez. And they boarded a yacht.
Photos of the stars enjoying some time off after their gold medal win circulated on social media on Monday, a day after the closing ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics and two days after the duo helped the United States bring home the gold medal.

The two Suns stars can afford a little break after winning the gold medal and before training camp with the rest of their NBA team.
Phoenix fans are just hoping that some of the pair’s Olympic magic will carry over into the Suns’ NBA season.
