Stephen Curry, the NBA’s reigning Clutch Player of the Year, once again delivered in the biggest moments, leading Team USA to a championship win over France with a stellar performance. Curry scored 24 points and hit eight three-pointers, half of which came in the crucial fourth quarter. As France closed the gap to just three points, Curry sank a key three-pointer with 2:47 remaining to restore the lead to two possessions. He then sealed the game with his signature ‘Night Night’ celebration, making it clear that victory was secured.
Known for his incredible shooting range, Curry showcased his skills on the international stage, effortlessly draining shots over taller defenders. Throughout the tournament, including the semifinal win over Serbia and the final against France, Curry averaged 30 points and 8.5 three-pointers per game, leading Team USA in both categories.
After securing his fourth NBA championship and first Finals MVP award in 2022, Curry committed to playing for Team USA in this tournament under his NBA coach, Steve Kerr. In his press conference, he expressed excitement about facing “whoever was in the final” and made it clear he was aiming for his first Gold medal. Curry, Kerr, and Team USA achieved their goal, going undefeated throughout the tournament.
The 2024 Team USA roster featured three of the defining players of the past decade: Curry, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant. The trio made a significant impact, with Curry and James scoring the final 13 points of the semifinal and combining for 53 of Team USA’s 98 points in the championship game. Curry and James were named to FIBA’s All-Star Five, alongside Serbia’s Nikola Jokic, France’s Victor Wembanyama, and Germany’s Dennis Schroder.
