In a stunning display of skill, Stephen Curry led the U.S. basketball team to Olympic gold, further establishing his reputation as the greatest shooter in history. During the semifinal against Serbia, Curry scored 36 points, marking the second-highest total in American Olympic history, while sinking nine 3-pointers to spearhead a remarkable 13-point comeback in the fourth quarter. His performance was nothing short of extraordinary, showcasing his ability to perform under pressure. Curry's brilliance continued in the gold medal game against host nation France, where he sealed the victory by hitting four consecutive 3-pointers in the closing minutes. Basketball legends were left in awe of his performance, with Penny Hardaway expressing his admiration, stating, "I don’t get wowed easily, but wow." Tracy McGrady echoed this sentiment, noting that while he missed the live action, the highlights confirmed Curry's status as the greatest shooter ever.
