The photo of KING JAMES holding STEPH is EPIC and reminded me of LBJ standing up and applauding STEPH when he first saw him play at DAVIDSON. Greatness knows greatness. TRUE BBALL ROYALTY THE TWO PERENNIAL MVPS OF OUR ERA.
YES, AYESHA, THE WORLD IS NOW GODFATHER TO YOUR BABY, AS STEPH SCORES HIS AGE, 36, TO LEAD GOATS RALLY OF TEAM USA TO AN EPIC WIN OVER SERBIA AT THE PARIS 2024 OLYMPICS!
Start of the 4th quarter I started to get depressed that the one Olympics Curry decides to play, they may get bronze (or worse). Great finish, now they need to play with that 4th quarter intensity from the start! Get the gold for Curry!
I knew the outcome and it was *still* a nail-biter. Jesus, have yourself a game, Threesus. Also, heard Wade say KD is "not nice!" as the Slim Reaper pulled up for his final shot. heh
“You live for those moments,” Curry said. “About two minutes into the game tonight you realize I’m getting looks. They’re playing a different type of defense on us and obviously they were scoring like crazy. … I shot three times last game and I wasn’t looking to force it because that’s not what the game called for.
“So that’s the beauty of Team USA and FIBA and this whole experience. Every game has been somebody different and it’s going to be somebody different hopefully with everybody contributing on that side.”
USA is always at a disadvantage when it comes to rules differences between FIBA and the NBA. AD let a Serbian shot bounce up high off the back iron and back into the hoop instead of just grabbing it or knocking it out of the cylinder, while two US players with the inside position on a FT attempt also let a ball bounce around the rim a bit before it dropped.

KD on STEPH: "That was a godlike performance..."
So, it's true. Sainthood is the next achievement.
Sainthood? Dude, that's apotheosis! ✊#sc30
KD late in the game tipped the balance. That was some history there from the whole group.
Fun to watch Steph lead a GOATS rally in a ''balanced'' team effort...

Definitely spot-on. A superb story and analysis. Thanks for sharing.
Watching the replay. I thought Kerith was doing sideline reporting. Anyone know the deal?
She's doing sideline for the women's games I believe.

Or Curry can get 40 and carry his team to gold while entertaining French fans as he crushes their team. Either way.
Does ANYBODY have the full highlights that's not complete shite (like the ones on Youtube that's out of order) so I can relive it?!
It’s being replayed right now (8:14pm PT) Just started.
USA network
If you are in Canada (as I am) or you have a canadian vpn (I still use one) you can watch it all ad free for free on CBC. https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.6452969
You can rewatch the whole thing on Peacock, if you have it (just did — incredible!)
Worth the rewatch, too ... I missed some stuff live, like how KD just went bonkers on D in the 4th.
that game was epic.
You watched the first three quarters again!
Hali is Steph's biggest fan man. Dude was the only one on the bench prematurely celebrating on a bunch of Steph's shots whether it was a make or miss
If we get an E1P, maybe we can get a bench celebration audit too
