Stephen Curry Leads Team USA Olympic Gold Win Over France

At the 2024 Paris Olympics gold medal basketball game, Stephen Curry delivered a legendary performance, hitting four crucial 3-pointers in the final minutes to secure a 98-87 victory for Team USA over France. Rudy Gobert, France’s star center and four-time Defensive Player of the Year, expressed mixed emotions about the game; although frustrated at not being on the court during Curry's clutch moments due to coaching decisions, he praised Curry's greatness and acknowledged the inevitability of Team USA's win. Curry finished the game with 24 points, leading a balanced Team USA effort that included contributions from Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and LeBron James. Despite France’s strong efforts led by Victor Wembanyama and Guerschon Yabusele, Curry’s late-game shooting extinguished their comeback hopes. Gobert reflected on the experience with respect and gratitude for witnessing such elite basketball, recognizing Curry as one of the greatest players. The game remains a memorable moment in international basketball, especially for the French team and fans who saw their home country come close to Olympic gold.
