Stephen Curry statement on competing in the 2024 Olympics
At the future 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France, Stephen Curry might finally get the opportunity to take home the coveted medal. Curry has now made his genuine sentiments about joining Team USA for the forthcoming competition crystal apparent. There has been a lot of chatter regarding the GOAT shooter’s desire to do so:
“I’m more than enthused about the possibility,” Curry stated, according to NBA insider Marc Stein. “Knowing that Coach Kerr is in charge and… I was a member of both world championship teams, and anyone who has experienced both will tell you that the Olympics are vastly different. They all think it’s not even close in terms of feel, ambiance, buildup, excitement, and all that. I’m not sure what the possibilities are because you never know what will happen, but I would definitely like to have that experience at some point.” Also Read: Golden State Warriors Vs Boston Celtics Predictions, Head To Head, Betting Odds, Predicted Line-Ups: NBA
Steph has never competed in an Olympic event
Stephen Curry was referencing his gold medal triumphs with Team USA at the FIBA World Basketball Championships in 2010 and 2014. Due to knee and ankle issues, the 34-year-old withdrew from consideration for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro after being passed over for the 2012 Olympics in London. More recently, he turned down an invitation to compete in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics in order to rest up for the NBA season in 2021–2022. The Warriors won the NBA championship for the first time since 2018 as a result of his choice.
