Kevin Durant has had a whirlwind of a summer.

His Oklahoma City Thunder were eliminated in the Western Conference Finals, and he joined the team that beat them in the Golden State Warriors in the offseason.

On Sunday, the 27-year-old topped the Olympic podium in Rio as a member of Team USA, and later shared a photo on Instagram with a reflective caption.

The 6-foot-9 forward led the Americans with 19.4 points per game in the tournament. He played the first 27 minutes against Serbia, finishing with 30 points, four assists, three rebounds, and two steals in 30 minutes. He's now scored 30 points in two straight Olympic gold-medal games.

Somebody get this man a beer. He's earned it.
