The legend of Steph Curry continues to grow.
When the United States needed to fend off a late run by France in the Olympic gold medal game on Saturday, who did the Americans turn to? Curry.
The four-time NBA champion and two-time MVP hit four clutch three-pointers in the final three minutes after France had trimmed the American lead to just three.
Curry finished with 24 points on 8-of-12 shooting from beyond the arc as the U.S. claimed its fifth-straight gold medal with a 98-87 victory.
After a slow start to the tournament, Curry played hero for Team USA in the semifinal as well, holding off a Serbian flurry of three-pointers to begin the game and finishing with 36 points — one point shy of Carmelo Anthony’s Olympic record.
Curry was playing in his first-ever Olympics after injuries took away his chance to play in 2016 and 2020.
After the win, fans, players and media took to social media to revel in Curry’s brilliance on international basketball’s grandest stage.
