USA Basketball narrowly escaped defeat with a 101-100 victory over South Sudan in Saturday's Showcase Game. Trailing by 15 points in the first half, Team USA put together a much better performance in the second half, but still needed a game-winning layup from Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James to pull out a one-point win.
Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry also had a big second half, finishing the game with 10 points, three rebounds, and three assists. Hitting an incredible deep three that went viral on social media, Curry got one of his fans excited that was wearing an "Ayesha Curry can cook" shirt:
This trend began in the 2022 NBA Finals when Boston Celtics fans trolled the Curry family with "Ayesha Curry can't cook" shirts. Following Golden State's victory over Boston to win the NBA Championship, Curry brought one of those shirts into the locker room celebration:
Curry also wore the "Ayesha Curry can cook" shirt earlier that NBA Finals series, which is the same one his fan was seen wearing in this game against South Sudan:
Ayesha Curry has been trending online since this fan was seen wearing the viral shirt, as several big accounts have shared the screenshot that includes Curry reacting to his big three, and that fan celebrating in the background.
Curry finished just 3/10 from the field in this game, but all three of his makes were fro, beyond the arc. Doing just enough to secure a win, USA escaped what would have been an incredibly disappointing loss. Team USA has one Showcase Game remaining before the Paris Olympic Games begin.
