Even for Stephen Curry, that Olympic gold-medal game performance was ridiculous
PARIS — “A Gold Medal in Four Acts,” authored by and starring Wardell Stephen Curry.
Stephen Curry hugged Kevin Durant at midcourt at Bercy Arena. They each had hold of a U.S. flag, that enveloped both of them. They had won back-to-back NBA championships together, when they changed the path of the league by joining forces with the Golden State Warriors. Now, they were celebrating something that only a few people get to do in basketball: win an Olympic gold medal, in another country. And, very few people have had to do it as, essentially, the road team, with a sellout crowd here doing everything in its power to will its beloved French national team to an improbable, titanic upset.
But Curry, simply, would not allow it.
With four 3-pointers in the last three minutes, on four shots, one more ridiculous than the last, with the last defying all common sense and logic, Curry secured the United States’ fifth straight gold medal in men’s Olympic basketball, holding off France, 98-87. It was Durant’s fourth gold medal. His place as the greatest player in U.S. international basketball history is secure. This was Curry’s first gold. At 36, it may well be his only gold. But he wanted this so, so badly, and has wanted it for a long, long time.
“We always say, you do what the game calls for, and what you kind of feel in the flow,” Curry said afterward, after he’d hit eight 3-pointers Saturday, to go with the nine he’d made in the Americans’ incredible come-from-behind victory over Serbia in the semifinals.
LeBron James was a worthy MVP of the tournament. What he did during this fortnight, at age 39, is simply beyond description. But Curry was the indispensable man the last two games, when the medals were on the line. That he did it after not shooting well at all during group play is just part of the Curry legend.
GO DEEPER
‘Everything I imagined, and more’: Team USA’s gold medal game seals NBA stars’ legacies
“Coach (Steve Kerr) reminded me, at a certain point, early, the game will come to you if you allow it,” Curry said. “And even if I was missing shots, just stay engaged. And that kind of fed into being locked in for these last two games, because the game called for me to get shots up, and knock them down. … you just stay confident, stay present, and don’t get rattled by the moment.”
There was a reason Curry was so excited — “like a little kid,” USA Basketball managing director Grant Hill said back in April — when he was formally invited to play for USA Basketball, after being injured in 2016, and opting not to play in Japan in 2021. There was no doubt, once James and Durant committed again to playing for their country, that Curry would join them.
“And I had two extra months to practice,” Curry said, referring to the Warriors not making the playoffs this past season.
The Americans had the upper hand for most of the game Saturday. But a sloppy end of the third quarter, with more miscues in the fourth, and the ravenous home crowd keeping the energy up, gave France an opening. And they took advantage. They cut a 13-point deficit early in the third quarter to six by that quarter’s end. Then, five, with 3:32 left. Then, three, on Victor Wembanyama’s offensive rebound dunk with 3:04 remaining. Bercy was berserk. The impossible dream, of avenging their 2021 loss to the U.S. in Tokyo, was within their sights.
“Down the stretch, Steph took over,” Kerr said. “He actually suggested in the timeout, ‘Let me run a clear side pick and roll with LeBron and we’ll clear the floor.’ I said OK, because I’ve seen this before, and it usually turns out well.”
Act I
USA 82, France 79, 3:04 remaining
Curry shot-fakes France’s Guerschon Yabusele, then rises right of the key from 26 feet, and, with Yabusele’s hands at his sides, drains a 3 to put the U.S. team back up by six. He gives the French fans the palms-down, calm-yourselves-down treatment on the way back up the court.
CURRY TIME. 🥶

“Steph earned this, the last few weeks,” Kerr said. “The last couple of weeks, every day, the work ethic. I tell people all the time, when Kevin was with our team, my favorite part of practice with the Warriors was after practice, watching these two work. It’s not an accident that they’re able to do what they’re able to do down the stretch of games. The work, just watching these two guys, day after day after day, is really impressive. I’ve talked about LeBron, during this experience as well. When you see these guys behind the scenes, and how hard they work, how much they love the process of the work itself, it all makes sense that they’re as good as they are.”
Act II
USA 87, France 81, 2:10 remaining
This time, Curry shot-fakes Nicolas Batum, then steps to the side from 27 feet. “Bang,” as Mike Breen would say. As he runs back up court, Curry points to his chest and says something to the U.S. bench. It appeared he was saying, “They can’t guard me!” Maybe he said, “They can’t (bleeping) guard me!’”(Although, Curry doesn’t cuss much at all, really.) At any rate, it’s becoming clear that he’s correct, and the French can’t (bleeping) guard him.
Intermission
In which various Olympic teammates talk about the greatest shooter in NBA history …
LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers: “I’ve seen it before. Different uniform, though.”
Kevin Durant, Phoenix Suns: “Out of body experience.”
Anthony Edwards, Minnesota Timberwolves: “I was able to witness greatness. … Watching Steph? Hey, I was just telling him, ‘Boy, you crazy, bro.’ Shorty went crazy. I ain’t got nothing to say about it. He is who he is, you feel me?”
Bam Adebayo, Miami Heat: “I was kind of like, ‘What the f—?’ But, then I had to remember who was shooting it. And we’ve all seen him do incredible things like that.”
Joel Embiid, Philadelphia 76ers: “Like I said, it’s fun to be on (his) side. Big shots after big shots. And the level of difficulty of those shots, and the moment, it was tremendous.”
Act III
USA 90, France 84, 1:43 remaining
This time, it’s Nando de Colo in the crockpot. Curry, shot fake, pulls up … you know how this goes by now, right?
Cooked de Colo.
The U.S. is back up nine, with 1:18 to go. And Curry starts screaming — a primordial type of yell, that “Og,” living in Spain’s Atapuerca Mountains, may have screamed when the rocks he had been rubbing together for a week finally flinted, and there was fire, and Og could finally cook the mastodon he’d killed a week ago. Or, it could be the yell of a 36-year-old man who’d desperately wanted to be an Olympian for so long, and hadn’t been able to, but was finally doing so in the most amazing way possible in what will likely be the last two games of his Olympic career.
Act IV
USA 93, France 87, 0:55 remaining
France, a smart, veteran team, coached by a legend in Vincent Collet, now double-teams Curry, sending both Batum and Evan Fournier at him off the pick and roll. They’re “blitzing” him, in NBA parlance, trying to make him pass the ball to someone else. In addition, the shot clock, now the size of a small hovercraft placed on Curry’s back, was ticking down toward zero. But Curry goes behind his back, takes a dribble right of the key, and lets it fly, over both Batum’s and Fournier’s outstretched arms, from somewhere near Nice.
Splash.
“THE GOLDEN DAGGER!”

“Every shot you take, you think it’s going in,” Curry said. “That was at the end of a solid flurry of shots,” Curry said. “At the end of the day, all I saw was the rim. I didn’t see who was in front of me. I knew it was kind of a late-clock situation. That impressed me. I impressed myself, for sure. For sure.”
And he gave a whole nation the night-night, as he ran back up the floor. Good effort, France, good effort.
“Honestly, I told him, ‘No way you making that,’” Edwards said. “‘Cause he threw it up high. But, he cold. He cold.”
An aside: A France team with Nolan Traoré, a near-lock to be a top-five pick in the 2025 NBA draft after playing next season for the French team Saint-Quentin, running the point in 2028 for France in Los Angeles, with Wemby and Rudy Gobert and Bilal Coulibaly and Yabusele, and maybe Alexandre Sarr and Zaccharie Risacher and Tidjane Salaun by then … well, let’s just say that would be a hell of a rematch between the U.S. and Les Bleus. And if Embiid pulled an ultimate Heel Turn, a la Hogan at Bash at the Beach in ’96, and decided to play for France? Sacré Bleu!
Will Curry be in Los Angeles, at 40? I mean, Durant didn’t rule it out when asked, and he’s been playing for USA Basketball for 14 years. Who knows what Chef Curry can cook up next?
“It’s everything I imagined, and more,” Curry said of this, his first Olympic experience. “We all signed up for this mission, to continue USA Basketball’s dominance. Obviously, I understood it was going to be a really tough task, with some great teams that we were going to face. It’s a sense of relief, at the end, but it’s more like a sense of accomplishment, obviously knowing what we were able to do. I’ve seen the medal ceremonies at other events. I’ve seen (Durant) get all three of his. I’ve watched it and envisioned what it would feel like. It wasn’t really like knocking something off of my resume, it was more ’cause I haven’t experienced it yet, and not knowing what it was going to be like. … Everything was eye-opening, from start to finish.”

The Oklahoma City Thunder will be shorthanded in Saturday’s pivotal Game 7, as one of Oklahoma’s key contributors has been sidelined with an injury.
OKC guard Jalen Williams has been ruled out for Game 7 with a hamstring issue, ESPN reported on Friday. Williams appeared to aggravate his left hamstring during the Thunder’s 122-113 victory in Game 2. He missed the next three games before returning for Game 6, but logged just 10 minutes off the bench in Oklahoma City’s loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday, which forced a winner-take-all Game 7.
“He’s obviously not 100%,” Mark Daigneault, the head coach of the Thunder, said.

Daigneault applauded Williams for fighting through the injury and doing everything he could to help Oklahoma City.
“He didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t know what to expect. So, it was a matter of getting him out there in kind of an insulated role and see what he can bring to the team. He’s an All-Star player, he’s an All-NBA player. He hasn’t done a full return to play [protocol] like he would if this was the regular season, and yet, he just wants to do whatever he can to try to contribute whatever he can to the team.”

Williams did not talk to reporters after Thursday’s game in San Antonio.
Williams underwent surgery last offseason to repair a wrist injury but still played a key role in the Thunder’s run to the NBA Finals last season. He appeared in just 33 regular-season games before this year’s playoffs.

CLOVIS — Cool conditions produced a bunch of fast times Friday at the CIF state track and field championships.
Rosary Academy sprint coach Jon Gilmer was worried 4×100-meter relayers Tra’via Flournoy, Justine Wilson, Pfeiffer Lee and Maliyah Collins might get complacent at prelims, but the Royals were the top qualifiers in 45.13 seconds — nearly a full second faster than Canyon Country Canyon (46.07) — at Buchanan High School.
“It’s different not having Calabasas here,” Gilmer said. “Now we’ve got to push ourselves.”
Rosary set a state record (44.23) at the Arcadia Invitational on April 11, but lost to the Coyotes one week later at the Mt. SAC Relays. However, the anticipated state finals clash was not to be as Calabasas dropped the baton in the Southern Section finals and failed to advance.
Collins had a huge lead by the time she received the stick for the anchor leg Friday.
“This is maybe our fourth- or fifth-fastest time but we just wanted to make finals,” said Wilson, who ran the second leg before handing off to Lee. “We want to run faster tomorrow when we go for a PR, the meet and the state record.”
Calabasas might be out of the relay, but three Coyotes remain in contention in the 100, led by Malia Rainey (the top qualifier in 11.54), Marley Scoggins (11.63) and Olivia Kirk (11.63).

Collins won her heat in 11.62, the third-fastest time.
Servite won the first heat in the boys 4×100 relay in 40.29 — two hundredths off its winning time at last year’s state finals — and is primed to defend its title in the event. Concord De La Salle (40.81) was the second-fastest qualifier, followed by the other heat winners, Rancho Cucamonga (40.87) and Loyola (40.93).
“We got the stick around pretty good today,” said Jorden Wells, who ran the first leg Friday instead of his customary second leg, which was run by Jaelen Hunter. “Did it feel different? Not really, I’ve done it before.”
Wells said his twin brother Jace will run the first leg Saturday, he will run the second while Kamil Pelovello and Benjamin Harris will stay in the third and fourth positions.
Harris, the favorite to win the 100 meters, won his heat in a wind-legal 10.36, but three others were fractions faster in wind-aided times — Elk Grove’s Cy Lugo (10.20), Will Wood’s Deshawn Seymour (10.34) and De La Salle’s Damari Dean (10.34). Newbury Park’s Jaden Griffin won the last heat in 10.37, setting the stage for an exciting finals sprint as all nine qualifiers ran under 10.48.
Harris put himself in position for a Saturday double by winning his 200 heat in 21.10 but as he did in the 100, Lugo (the Sac-Joaquin Section record holder) had the fastest time (20.73), followed by Seymour (20.88), Camren Hughes (20.93) of Palos Verdes and Jace Wells (21.02). Jordan Wells (21.11) also made the cut.

Servite (3:15.43) had the second-fastest qualifying time in the 4×400-meter relay behind only El Cerrito (3:14.96) of the North Coast Section.
Coming off a state-record 3:33.83 at the Masters Meet in Moorpark, Long Beach Wilson’s 4×400 girls relay had the fourth-fastest qualifying time (3:46.73) without two out of its best runners (Clara Adams and Saniah Varnado), taking second in the first heat behind San Luis Obispo (3:45.85) and safely advancing to the finals along with Heat 2 runner-up Rosary (3:45.08) and Heat 3 winner Canyon Country Canyon (3:46.77).
Having broken the Southern Section record in the 400 meters six days earlier in 51.98, Adams put it in cruise control to win her heat in 53.53, the fastest qualifying mark. Joining her in the final will be her three relay teammates Varnado (54.42), Wilson (54.57) and Fowler (54.62). Adams later won her 200 heat in 23.60, a tenth of a second behind fastest qualifier Naiaja Sizemore of Vanden.
San Jacinto Valley Academy’s Kaahliyah Lacy ran a wind-legal 13.59 for the top qualifying spot in the girls 100 hurdles and Varnado (40.85) was the top qualifier in the 300 hurdles.
Another showdown is brewing in the boys 400, where Loyola’s Ejam Yohannes (47.08) and Hunter (47.21) won their heats in the two fastest times Friday. Hunter clocked 46.32 to set a California freshman record last spring, but lost to Yohannes by 11 hundredths of a second at the Masters Meet.
City Section champion Jayden Rendon showed good form in his bid to defend the state 300 hurdles crown, posting the fastest prelims time (36.80). He also advanced to the finals in the 110 hurdles with a 13.83 effort. Moorpark’s Davis Benson (14.03) nabbed the last spot.
Corona Santiago’s Braelyn Combe, right, wins the first heat of the 800 meters at the CIF state track and field preliminaries on Friday.

Corona Santiago senior Braelyn Combe won her 1,600 heat in 4:46.88 and is set for a four-lap battle with San Diego Section champion Chiara Dailey of La Jolla, who won the second heat in 4:46.00. Combe is the defending champion, having edged Hanne Thomsen of Santa Rosa Montgomery by five hundredths of a second in the finals last year.
“I just wanted to advance with as little effort as possible,” Combe said. “It was not as hard as I expected. I don’t want to leave any regrets. I’m taking it one race at a time.”
Combe also had the fastest time (2:08:25) of three heats in the 800 meters.
Venice senior Lawrence Kensinger, who set the City Section shot put record with a state-leading throw of 65 feet 11 inches last week, had the third-best mark at prelims (59-6¾) and easily advanced to the finals. Defending state high jump champion JJ Harel of Sherman Oaks Notre Dame tied nine others for the second-best mark (6-6) heading into the second day.
Aliso Niguel senior Jaslene Massey had the top marks in the girls shot put (51-3¾) and discus (175-6) and transgender athlete AB Hernandez from Jurupa Valley was the leading qualifier in the girls long jump (20-5½) and triple jump (41-8½) and was one of 13 qualifiers in the high jump.
AB Hernandez competes at the CIF state track and field preliminaries at Buchanan High School on Friday.
