Names & Faces: Kevin Durant, Hope Solo
The Warriors’ new forward says he’s happy for his ex-teammate Russell Westbrook, who signed a three-year deal worth $85.7 million to stay with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
[...] in Rio de Janeiro, where he is part of the U.S. men’s Olympic team, Durant said he wouldn’t immediately be contacting Westbrook.
[...] I’ve got nothing but positive energy and vibes for everybody.
The U.S. women’s Olympic soccer-team goalkeeper says she wasn’t bothered when Brazilian fans teased her by chanting “Zika, Zika” during the Americans’ 2-0 win in their Rio Games debut Wednesday in Belo Horizonte.
Solo upset some Brazilians before coming to the Olympics by tweeting a photo of herself wearing a hat with mosquito netting.
