Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry was among the many NBA stars who spent their summer in Paris working to bring home a gold medal for the United States at the 2024 Olympic Games.

Curry averaged 14.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists over six games, finishing with shooting splits of 50/48/100.

His most impressive play came at the most critical time for Team USA: the semifinals and finals.

In the semifinal against Serbia, the Warriors star scored 36 points, shooting 9-for-14 from beyond the arc. This marked the second-highest scoring performance by an American at the Olympics.

In the final against France, he added 24 points, including 12 in the fourth quarter and nine of the team's last 11, helping secure the win and the gold medal.

Curry has spent his entire 16-year career with the Warriors organization.

On Saturday, Golden State reacted to his Olympic performance being nominated for "Best Championship Performance" at the 2025 ESPYS.

"GOLDEN. Stephen Curry's iconic Olympics run is nominated for 'Best Championship Performance' at the 2025 ESPYS," the Warriors wrote on social media.

In the final two games of the competition, Curry shot an astonishing 17-of-26 (65.4%) from 3-point range.

With 22 3-pointers, he joined Kevin Durant (twice) and Carmelo Anthony as the only Americans to hit 20 or more threes in an Olympics.

The other nominees for the award include golfer Rory McIlroy at the Masters, Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddy Freeman in the World Series and gymnast Simone Biles for Olympic gymnastics all-around.
