Team USA is going to need other superstars to play in the 2020 Olympics if they want to win the gold medal. The Americans won gold at the Summer Olympics back in 2016 in Brazil. That team had Jimmy Butler, Kevin Durant, DeAndre Jordan, Kyle Lowry, Harrison Barnes, DeMar DeRozan, Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson, DeMarcus Cousins, Paul George, Draymond Green and Carmelo Anthony on it.
Curry is one of the best basketball players in the world and arguably the most lethal shooter of all-time. The two-time NBA MVP has career averages of 23.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.6 assists with the Warriors while shooting 47.6 percent from the field, 43.5 percent from beyond the arc and 90.5 percent from the free-throw line.
Curry was averaging 20.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game on the season for the Warriors before he hurt his hand against the Phoenix Suns. He will make his return to the lineup on Thursday versus the Toronto Raptors.
Curry is making $40,231,758 this season. He signed a $200 million contract with the Warriors in the summer of 2017. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr wants Curry to develop on-court chemistry with former No. 1 overall pick and new small forward Andrew Wiggins.
He also wants younger players on the Dubs to watch how Curry conducts himself in practice on a daily basis to learn good habits.
