That “crazy s**t” turned into Olympic history. France cut the lead to three points and with less than three minutes to go, Curry erupted for four consecutive 3-pointers in just 2:47. Each shot pushed Team USA further away from danger and closer to gold.

Curry went through his process on every try. He worked pick-and-roll moves with James on the first shot, caught Batum faltering on the second, and benefited from sharp ball movement to Booker on the third.

The fourth shot closed it. Curry started from deep with multiple French defenders closing in, then immediately hit his signature “night-night” celebration as the ball broke.

What happened next made James snap. Curry got so stuck that he lost track of the game after hitting the dagger.

“He didn’t see the rim on the last one. He thought they called a timeout. He ran all the way down the right side and got around his teammates on the bench. I’m like, yo, yo, we still got a guard, bro,” James said.

A moment captured perfectly why their The Olympic experience meant a lot to both players. Despite four consecutive final battles from 2015 to 2018, they have never been teammates until Paris. Curry led Team USA in scoring at 14.8 points per game during the tournament.

James summed it up best when he reflected on finally sharing the court with one of the greatest rivals of his era.

“Bro, it’s one of the best experiences like it was everything. People keep asking me like ‘I finally got a chance to play with Steph, how was it,’ I was like ‘everything and more,'” James said.

Curry finished the gold medal game with 24 points, all from beyond the arc, going eight for 12 from three-point range to complete his trophy haul with Olympic gold.
