Stephen Curry and Team USA beat Team France on Saturday by a score of 98-87, giving Steve Kerr, LeBron James and company the gold medal over Evan Fournier and Victor Wembanyama's team.

Afterward, Curry took time out to speak to legendary sports broadcaster Mike Tirico. Curry was asked by Tirico if the game felt like a Game 7 in the NBA, and the Golden State Warriors star delivered a “special” message to the fans after hitting all the clutch shots to end Wemby and France's upset bid.

“It is special,” Curry said. “When we won our last championship, I knew this was gonna be on the horizon and something that I was excited to go after. For me to get a gold medal is insane.

“And I thank God for the opportunity.”

Stephen Curry's “special” words came after he scored 24 points, all on 3-pointers, with four of those coming down the stretch to put France to bed. While Curry finished the Olympics with two standout performances, it was LeBron who won Olympic MVP for his consistent greatness throughout the Games. James' MVP award caused a split among fans, many of whom thought that Curry should have won the award, even despite his struggles to start the tournament.
