Team USA athletes sing Kevin Durant ‘happy birthday’ at Opening Ceremony

Team USA athletes sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to basketball star Kevin Durant ahead of the Opening Ceremony Friday (23 July) at Tokyo 2020. There was one issue, though: It wasn’t the two-time Olympic gold medallist’s birthday.

It’s unclear how or why the song broke out, but Durant’s birthday is actually 29 Sept.

Durant – a leader on the U.S. men’s team – is one of just three players on the squad with Olympic experience. He’s seeking a third gold medal as the squad goes after a fourth consecutive Olympic title.

Men’s basketball gets underway on Sunday (25 July), with Team USA facing off against France. Their group also includes Iran and Czech Republic.
