Stephen Curry‘s reputation as one of the best shooters in basketball history was solidified by his exploits during Team USA’s gold medal-winning campaign. Muggsy Bogues, an NBA legend, went one step farther with it. The 59-year-old attracted a lot of attention when he called the Golden State Warriors the “greatest shooter ever.”
A unique photo of him posting up a young Curry during a workout was his most recent post on X. Bogues was spotted having fun on the court while the future NBA player tried to get close to the ball.

Muggsy Bogues love for Stephen Curry
Curry’s outstanding efforts during the pivotal moments of the 2024 Paris Olympics were the reason for the high acclaim. Against Serbia and France in the previous two games, the 36-year-old displayed unmatched shooting ability. Against these European heavyweights, he scored 60 points overall, including 65.4% from beyond the arc. His outstanding work was essential to Team USA winning the gold medal for the fifth time in a row.
This praise also highlighted Curry’s reliability when he is attempting three-pointers. With 3,747 three-pointers, he set the NBA record for most three-pointers made. His unparalleled shooting range changed the game. Extraordinary accomplishments like as four championships, two MVP honors, one Finals MVP honor, and ten All-Star choices were also a result of this. Bogues’ admiration for Curry was still reasonable.
