    AUG 12 SHOUT OUT! Former U.S. President Barack Obama is reflecting on Team USA's gold medal win over France in the Olympics by recognizing in a special way two guys with Warriors ties.

    It's Steph Curry and Kevin Durant who get the kudos, along with LeBron James.

    "Last month, I had a chance to meet with the men’s @usabasketball team before they went to Paris. So proud of them for bringing home the gold! Shout out to legends @KingJames , @StephenCurry30 , and @KDTrey5," Obama wrote .

    LeBron, Steph and Durant all took their turns. But Warriors fans are surely most proud of Steph, who took over the gold medal game.

    AUG 11 CHEAT CODE Although LeBron James had the better overall Paris Olympics run, Stephen Curry came up huge for Team USA vs. France in the gold medal game.

    Scoring 24 points against France and converting ridiculously difficult three-point shots in the fourth quarter - even against 7-4 Wemby! - reminded everyone the Golden State Warriors superstar still has it.

    Among Curry's admirers?

    Indiana Fever All-Star Caitlin Clark - herself quite a perimeter shooter - who used two words to describe his work.

    "Cheat code,'' she wrote on social media.

    AUG 11 GOOGLE TRANSLATE NIGHT NIGHT TO FRENCH Stephen Curry gave the French fans a taste of what Golden State Warriors opponents feel on a nightly basis. Following the gold medal game, in which Team US beat France 98-87, Curry took the time to get shirts made.

    Curry's three-point shot celebration incorporates the Warriors' superstar signaling, with him putting his head down on his hands as if they were pillows. As fans like to say, night night.

    Curry enjoyed his gold medal accomplishment by rubbing France's face in it during a photoshoot.

    AUG 10 TO BETTER DAYS Before Ja Morant ruined the 2023-24 Memphis Grizzlies season due to a plethora of questionable decisions, the high-flying point guard significantly impacted the court. Morant turns 25 on Saturday. In celebration, one of his fans reminisced by posting a video recalling a bright moment in Morant's career.

    During the 2022 NBA championship campaign, the Warriors ran into the young and feisty Grizzlies. Full of heated moments, a massive blowout, and an injury to Morant, the Grizzlies' All-Star exploded for 47 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists. Ultimately, the Warriors took the series 4-2. However, Morant helped push the eventual NBA champions to a six-game series only two years ago, reminding fans of the Grizzlies' potential.
