Steph Curry gets buckets in his sleep. At least, that's what his celebration suggested after hitting a dagger three over two France defenders in the Olympic gold medal match.
Curry's shot all but wrapped up the victory for Team USA, via NBC Olympics & Paralympics.
Fans lost their minds on social media, as the Golden State sniper was red-hot at the perfect time for the Americans.
“Stephen Curry’s Team USA legend status is cemented,” Forbes' Evan Sidery said. “Absolutely incredible.”
“THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO ROOT FOR STEPHEN CURRY????? I CAN FLY,” @iankarmel said via X, formerly known as “Twitter.”
“Stephen Curry just showed the whole world how he changed the game of basketball,” said The Ringer's Tate Frazier.
Curry, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant kept their promise to each other, via The Athletic's Shams Charania.
“Olympic Last Dance together: LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant lead USA to Gold – completing commitment they made to each other, Team USA and the country exactly one year ago,” Charania tweeted.
Will the Olympics ever see a shooter like this again?
This year's Olympics showed Steph Curry's greatness
After dropping 36 points on 9-of-14 shooting from beyond the arc against Serbia in the semifinal match, Curry once again led the team with 24 points on 8-of-13 shooting from long range. The NBA legend hit four consecutive threes in the last three minutes to ice the game.
Curry, James, and Durant on the same team over an extended period is usually only seen in video games or fantasy basketball. With Curry being the greatest shooter ever, James having the best longevity and debatably being the GOAT, and Durant being the most unguardable player, it's unlikely that anything like this will happen again for several generations.
Moments like these are times to sit back and appreciate greatness. Luckily fans online are giving these hoop titans their flowers while they can still smell them.
