During these Olympics, Durant became Team USA's all-time leading Olympic scorer, passing Lisa Leslie's 488 points. Durant has 502 going into the matchup with France.

Joel Embiid has been a persistent target of boos and jeers during the Paris Olympics, having chosen to play for the United States rather than France or Cameroon.

He trolled the fans during the win over Puerto Rico in group play and danced after the thrilling semifinal victory over Serbia, making the DX "suck it" chop. That's apparently a theme for Embiid going into Saturday's gold medal game.

The fans at Paris' Bercy Arena are ready for a "rendezvous with history" as a banner in the stands says:

Thus far, the history between the United States and France in men's basketball is a 6–1 record for Team USA. That includes a U.S. 87–82 victory in the Tokyo Olympics' gold medal game four years ago.
