Stephen Curry has once again cemented his legendary status, this time with a standout performance at the Paris Olympics. Making his Olympic debut in 2024, the Golden State Warriors icon admitted he had to shake off some nerves before stepping onto this global stage. But once he hit his stride, Curry was nothing short of spectacular, playing a pivotal role in leading Team USA to a gold medal victory.
Now, there's buzz about Curry's potential return to the international scene. During a segment on NBA Today, Marc J.
Spears shared that Curry hasn't closed the door on competing in the next Olympic Games. "Steph Curry is still interested in making his second Olympic appearance.
He’ll be 40 years old at the time. Look, he’s a shooter.
He’s the greatest shooter of all time. Why would you not want to have him on your roster?
He’s not out, let’s just say that,” Spears noted.
Curry has already expressed his desire to join the 2028 Olympic team in Los Angeles, a goal that gained momentum after his electrifying performances in Paris. His Olympic showing was so impressive that Gilbert Arenas even suggested Curry should have been named Olympic MVP over LeBron James.
Beyond the international spotlight, Curry continues to make waves in the NBA. On a recent episode of Ticket & The Truth with Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, Garnett highlighted Curry as the quintessential "face of the league."
Garnett explained, “So my definition of the face of the league is when everybody follows what that person is doing. When Mike Jordan came into the league, he started something called the Mike Jordan effect.
And what it meant was coming into camp already in shape, already ready to go, being able to be day one ready.”
Even after nearly two decades in the league, Curry's impact remains profound. Before being sidelined with an injury, he was putting up impressive numbers, averaging 27.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game this season. His enduring influence and performance continue to captivate fans and redefine excellence on the court.
