USA Basketball’s Blunt Message To France After Winning Olympic Gold

On Saturday afternoon, Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry secured Team USA a gold medal with his insane play down to stretch in a 98-87 win over France at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Curry led the team in scoring with 24 points on 8-of-14 shooting, including eight three-pointers. He also added five assists and two steals. Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James recorded 14 points, 10 assists, and six rebounds.

But the story of the game came from Curry, who hit three massive three-pointers in the final two minutes to increase the USA lead and ultimately seal the game.

Following the gold medal win, USA Basketball posted a simple yet clear message to France, nodding to Curry's famous sleep celebration, which he performed in the final minutes.

"NIGHT NIGHT," USA Basketball wrote.

Curry has now added an Olympic medal to his already stellar resume, which includes four NBA championships, two MVP awards, and the inclusion into the NBA 75th Anniversary Team.

The Paris Games also marked the first time Curry and LeBron teamed up. Given how long they have both been in the NBA, fans were eager to see the duo in action, and they gave a performance to remember.

Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant, who won two championships with Curry on the Warriors, added 15 points for the USA. France's Victory Wembanyama scored 26 points in the loss.
