During the 2024 Paris Olympic gold medal game, Steph Curry of Team USA went absolutely crazy.
We all know that Curry is no stranger to making incredible three-pointers, but he really went above and beyond during the final match against France.
Speaking with Netflix, Curry talked about the flurry of threes that he rained down on France and how he knew it was time to bust out his trademark “night, night” gesture.
“You just have a feeling when you know it’s over and it’s time to put the kids to sleep,” Curry said, per Legion Hoops.

With the gold medal on the line and the Americans needing Curry more than ever, the Golden State Warriors legend pulled out all the stops.
He sank eight three-pointers during the Olympic final and four of them came during the last three minutes of the game.
It felt like Curry couldn’t miss, and Americans were leaping out of their seats cheering him on.
In fact, Curry mentioned how hyped up he felt when he looked at the sidelines and saw Carmelo Anthony cheering him on.
Powered by Curry’s wild fourth quarter, the Americans won the game 98-87, and Team USA earned a fifth straight Olympic title.
This was Curry’s first time at the Olympics, and it may have been his last.
We aren’t sure where he will be when the 2028 games roll around, and retirement may have already arrived at that point.
But no matter what happens, nothing can change the fact that Curry lit up the Olympics during that game and reminded the entire world why he’s considered the best shooter of all time.
