While Stephen Curry sits at home following his early play-in exit, his duties for the year are not over. Just three months from now, the Baby-Faced Assassin will represent the USA in the Paris Olympics, for the first time in his Hall of Fame career. Yes, as surprising as it may seem, Steph has never participated in the Olympics. And the 4-time Champion could not wait to finally tick that box on his checklist and watch other world class athletes like Noah Lyles do their thing in Paris.
While awarding Steph this season’s Clutch Player of the Year trophy, a curious Charles Barkley asked him how he was feeling after being selected for his first Olympics appearance. To that, Steph replied, “I am excited about this opportunity.” Moreover, a patriotic Steph was looking forward to “seeing other athletes do their thing in their respective competitions.”
