Curry delivered a stellar performance in Team USA's gold medal game against host nation France, leading the team with 24 points, five assists and two steals.

Although Curry didn’t win MVP, he was named to the Olympics All-Star Five after averaging 14.8 points on an impressive 47.8% shooting from three-point range, along with 3.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.

Curry reflects on joining another Olympics

After capturing his first Olympic gold medal in Paris, Steph Curry hinted that it might also be his last.

At 36 years old, Curry will be 40 by the time the next Olympics take place in Los Angeles in 2028, and he suggested that this might have been his final opportunity to wear the Team USA jersey.

"This might not come around again," Curry said, according to Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press. "It was very, very special."

Even at 36, Curry showed flashes of his prime during these Olympics.

In the fourth quarter of the finals against France, Curry nailed four consecutive triples, including the dagger over two defenders.

Curry isn’t the only superstar likely to step away from Olympic play. LeBron James also indicated that Paris may have been his last Olympics, saying he doesn’t see himself participating in 2028.

"Nah, I can't see myself playing in Los Angeles 2028," James said. "I didn't even see myself playing in Paris 2024, but four years from now, I can't see it."
