Curry hit eight three-pointers to seal the gold medal for the United States against France.
The USA clinched gold in a 98-87 victory over France that was much closer than the score would indicate. The difference was Steph Curry.
This was right after Curry's phenomenal 36-point effort against Serbia in the semifinals to send the USA to the gold medal game. It was an absolutely incredible tournament for Curry, who played in his first Olympics in the 2024 tournament. After Curry's stellar game, he set the basketball world ablaze with discussion and that included Hawks point guard Trae Young.Young seemed pretty confident in Team USA's chances even before the game. The big three of Curry, LeBron James and Kevin Durant went undefeated throughout the exhibition and tournament matches in their final Olympics.
This wasn't the first time Young shouted out Curry in the tournament, either. He made sure to give Curry his props following his game against Serbia as well.Although Young was not selected for the Olympics team this year, he could very well get the call in 2028. A new group of players will need to step up to replace James, Durant and Curry - Young should be one of the first calls Team USA makes.
