Stephen Curry can now officially add a new line to his already-decorated basketball resume. The Golden State Warriors All-Star guard is an Olympic gold medal winner. Curry didn’t only help Team USA secure the gold medal in a thrilling win over France, the two-time NBA MVP did it in style.
Following a quiet start against France, Curry came alive in signature fashion down the stretch. With the game close in the fourth quarter, Curry drilled a barrage of 3-pointers in the final three minutes, including a miraculous dagger triple over two French defenders.
Curry finished with a team-high 24 points on 8-of-14 shooting from the field with eight made 3-pointers and five assists in 30 minutes. Curry led Team USA with red-hot performances in both the semifinals and Gold Medal Game.
Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and LeBron James all tallied double-figure scoring performances in Team USA’s 98-87 win over France on Saturday in Paris.
