In the final two Olympic games of 2024, Stephen Curry gave Team USA one of his best performances to date. Following a string of poor performances, the guard for the Golden State Warriors exploded for 60 points on 17 three-pointers made in the semifinals and gold medal game at the Paris Games.
But the most amazing sight of all, which also left Kevin Garnett speechless, came in the last few minutes of the match versus France.
Millions of fans, including Garnett, were rendered dumbfounded in the final seconds of the match by Steph’s genius. The Big Ticket continued to tease the sniper for a historic Instagram show more than a day after the incident.
The gold medallist from the 2000 Olympics also complimented the men’s and women’s teams for placing first in the quadrennial competition. Garnett wrote : “Steph hit the button on they a**
Salute to the USA Men’s n Women’s teams that brought home gold n all that participated.. Respect,”

KG is praising Curry for his clutch play that helped the USA win, as seen in the image he posted in his Instagram Story. Steph had the most incredible heat check in the last few minutes. Despite being well guarded, the two-time NBA MVP made four three-pointers.
