    Steph Curry’s ‘Embarrassing’ Admission at Paris Olympics is Turning Heads

    It seems like there isn’t much Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry can’t do.

    However, the NBA official X account outed the 36-year-old star in a video posted on Friday from the 2024 Paris Olympics in which Curry admits he can’t spin a basketball on his finger.

    “That is the one thing that I cannot do,” Curry admitted. “That’s one of the most embarrassing things of…just me. You got me nervous even thinking about it.”

    “The point guard don’t know how to do it?” Kevin Durant asked.

    The social media admin then asked some of the other stars of the gold-medal-winning U.S. men’s Olympic basketball team if they thought any of their other teammates couldn’t spin the ball on their finger, and surprisingly, Curry wasn’t alone.

    Guard Tyrese Haliburton and center Joel Embid also admitted they couldn’t spin the ball either.

    “Tyrese [can’t do it]?” center Bam Adebayo exclaimed. “That’s Gen-Z.”

    Guard Jrue Holiday divulged that professional basketball players shouldn’t have to know how to perform the party trick but implied they should learn how to.

    While Curry may not be able to do one thing with a basketball, it didn’t matter much at the Olympics. He scored a team-high 24 points with eight 3-pointers to lead USA to its fifth straight gold medal with a 98-87 win over France.
