Steph Curry says US men’s team is ‘motivated’ to win gold in Paris

Curry told NBC that representing his home country in the Olympics is a humbling experience he’s looking forward to.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Charlotte native Steph Curry has done just about everything in his illustrious career, but the four-time NBA champion is playing in his first Olympics in Paris

NBC interviewed Curry during the Opening Ceremony on Friday. Here’s what he had to say about being part of Team USA for the first time in his career. 

“It’s a wild experience, for sure,” Curry said. “I’ve watched it plenty of times. I’ve watched the women dominate, I’ve watched the men dominate. I’m a true fan, it’s something truly humbling and gratitude flows when you’re an Olympic athlete. I’m excited to be here.”

Curry, a two-time NBA MVP, opted out of previous Olympics for various reasons. This year’s tournament is flooded with NBA talent, including host country France, whose roster includes budding superstar Victor Wembanyama and NBA Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert. 

Curry says the American contingent understands how difficult it will be to bring home another gold medal. 

“We’re motivated,” he said. “We understand they say the gap has closed. There’s a lot of talent, a lot of NBA guys we’re playing against. We know it’s not an easy task but we’re all ready to compete and put our egos to the side and bring back gold. I’m excited for the challenge, we’re motivated to get it done.”

The U.S. men’s basketball team opens Olympic play on Sunday against Serbia in group play. The game is scheduled for 11:15 a.m. ET and will be broadcast on WCNC Charlotte.
