The shot was a pivotal moment in the gold medal game, with Curry hitting a contested three-pointer over two French defenders. What makes the shot even more impressive is that James and Durant were wide open, expecting the ball to come their way ¹ ² ³. Curry recalled that James and Durant didn’t expect him to take the shot, and their reactions afterward were priceless ¹ ².

 

 

 

 

“I see both of them as soon as I’m shooting, their hands up and they both went like this (looking right and left),” Curry chuckled. “They didn’t expect me to shoot it. I’m sure they were ready for a pass back to the weak side” ¹ ².

 

 

 

Curry’s decision to take the shot paid off, as he ended the game with 24 points, including eight three-pointers ¹. The win secured the gold medal for Team USA, and Curry considers the shot one of the top two moments of his career ¹.
