Stephen Curry made it clear that he is having fun playing with arguably the greatest collection of talent he’s had next to him on Team USA. Curry was asked by Fadeaway World to expound on playing alongside LeBron James, but the 2022 Finals MVP showered praise on all his teammates.
“It’s a lot of fun. Like all the guys on our team, everyone is here for a reason, trying to win, trying to bring our best selves to what we’re doing. The fact that we’re such high IQ guys who try to make the right play, and utilize each other’s strengths. We know there’s a challenge ahead when it comes to winning 6 games in the Olympics, but it’s easy for these guys together because we all have different strengths and weaknesses, but we’re all very experienced and understand what it’s like to play basketball at a high level. So, it’s been fun to try and put that together.”

Curry is representing Team USA at the Olympics for the first time in his career, so he’s never really played with such an elite collection of talent before. Players like LeBron, Kevin Durant, and Anthony Davis had experience playing on the stacked 2012 Olympic Team, while players like Devin Booker, Jayson Tatum, and Bam Adebayo made it to the 2020 Olympics.
Curry is joining youngsters like Anthony Edwards and Tyrese Haliburton as a first-time Olympian, with a Gold medal as the only major accomplishment eluding him in his career. With the talent around him, Curry will be confident in their ability to not only win the Gold at Paris 2024 but also have tons of fun while doing so.
