Steph Curry had already established himself among the best 15 players in NBA history. The two-time MVP is undoubtedly the best shooter of all time and has led the Golden State Warriors to four NBA Championships. That said, the 36-year-old was still missing an Olympics apperance (and a Gold medal). On Saturday afternoon, Curry led Team USA to a 98-87 victory over France to win the Gold medal at the 2024 Olympics in Paris. He erupted for 24 points on 8/13 shooting from the three-point range and carried the team down the stretch. Following the game, Curry made a post to Instagram that had over 1.3 million likes in three hours. Curry captioned his post: "Yall gone get this Gold Medal Content! #nuitnuit" One person who left a comment was Curry's former Warriors coach Mark Jackson. Jackson wrote: "Congrats Legend!!!"
