Nuit Nuit! How Steph Curry earned Olympic gold in the most Steph Curry way possible

PARIS — Stephen Curry shimmied. He roared. He grabbed the front of his USA jersey and popped it for all the world to see.

Curry took over the final minutes of the Olympic gold medal game. He took over the world.

And when he stood on the highest step of the medal podium, he couldn’t stop smiling.

“It was everything I imagined,” he said. “I’m smiling. Cheesing. Having the best time of my life. Because, you know, this might not come around again.

“It was very, very special and I was just trying to take it all in.”

Curry didn’t have much else to accomplish with four NBA championships, two league MVPs and a Finals MVP already won. The one thing he didn’t have was an Olympic gold medal; he was injured in 2016 and opted to pass on the pandemic Olympics of 2021.

Now, he has one hanging around his neck. He found out what it felt like to win for the United States.

All of America found out what it was like to have Curry on their team.
