Kevin Garnett said

In addition, Garnett added that Devin Booker could also become an MVP, suggesting that they will reach the NBA Finals.

After the Olympics, the “Slim Reaper” wasted no time in getting some well-deserved rest. He teamed up with Booker and went on vacation to unwind and recharge after the tournament. But it wasn’t all fun and games for the two-time NBA champion. Durant also made some interesting business deals and acquired a minority stake in Paris St. Germain, a major French soccer club.
