SAN FRANCISCO, CA. – Warriors guard Stephen Curry won an Olympic gold medal today following Team USA’s 98-87 victory over France in the Men’s Basketball Final at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Team USA was led by Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr.

Curry appeared in six games for Team USA during the Olympic games, averaging 14.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 23.3 minutes per game. Curry scored 36 points during Team USA’s 95-91 semifinal victory over Serbia on August 8. The 36 points were the second-most scored by an American in an Olympic game, trailing just Carmelo Anthony’s 37-point performance against Nigeria on August 2, 2012.

Curry is only the fifth player in NBA history to win at least four NBA Championships, two Most Valuable Player Awards and an Olympic gold medal, joining LeBron James, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, and Bill Russell. Additionally, he is the fifth Golden State player to win a gold medal as part of Team USA, along with current teammate Draymond Green and former Warriors Kevin Durant, Chris Mullin and Klay Thompson. Golden State is one of three NBA franchises, along with the Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers, to have five different players win Olympic gold with Team USA while on the team’s roster.
