Anthony Davis got to play alongside Stephen Curry during scrimmages on day one of Team USA’s training camp for the 2024 Olympics, and he quite liked the experience.
“I’ll tell you what, this guy named Steph Curry is phenomenal to play with,” Davis said. “He was on my team today and I got so many open looks.”
That is exactly what happens when you play with Curry, who averaged 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.4 blocks per game in the 2023-24 NBA season. The 36-year-old has made life so much easier on the court for his teammates over the years thanks to that “gravity” of his.
The opposition has to pay so much attention to Curry when he’s on the court due to his shooting prowess, which leads to others getting wide-open looks. Davis has spent years having to deal with that problem while playing against him and it’s safe to say he is glad to be on the same team as the Golden State Warriors superstar here.
Now, Curry’s teammates on the Warriors this past season weren’t quite able to capitalize on those open looks as the team missed the playoffs. You better believe that won’t be the case at the Olympics.
Team USA’s roster for the grand event is absolutely stacked, with Curry and Davis being joined by the likes of LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, Jayson Tatum, and Anthony Edwards. You would have to be a brave man to bet against this group winning the gold in Paris.
