... that 2020 U.S. men's Olympic basketball player Kevin Durant is on the verge of becoming Team USA's leading Olympic scorer? Source: "Durant would be bidding for a third consecutive gold medal — and would seem a lock to supplant Carmelo Anthony as USA Basketball’s leading Olympic scorer. Anthony has scored 336 points for the U.S. in Olympic play; Durant has scored 311." (Associate Press)

Comment: Request special occasion posting of July 23 or 24 before the U.S.'s first game on 25th.

New enough and long enough. QPQ present. Hook fact is present in article and interesting — 25 points seems easily doable across three games. No textual issues are present (noting that the article has grown since nomination and still has none). The date request is sensible. Good to go — July 23 or 24 requested.
