Caitlin Clark admired Stephen Curry after delivering another masterpiece in Team USA’s finals match against France at the Paris Olympics. The WNBA star congratulated the Warriors’ point guard in her Instagram story.
Clark gave a two-word praise to Curry, boosting the USA’s key shooter.
“Cheat code.” – Caitlin Clark’s caption in her Instagram story with a photo of Curry doing the “night-night” pose.
The four-time NBA champion made back-to-back dominating performances in both the semifinal and gold medal matches in the men’s basketball elimination stage at the Paris Olympics.
He scored 24 points, with eight-out-of-13 three-point shooting. In fact, half of those shots from downtown were in the last two minutes of the game.
Additionally, Steph Curry had five assists and two steals in 30 minutes against France. His hands are on fire, especially in the final stages. He shocked the American spectators multiple times.
When he made his final three-point shot with one minute remaining, the 2022 NBA Finals MVP yelled and displayed his USA jersey across the crowd, meaning they had still emerged victorious against Team France, who even had the home-court advantage.
It was a rematch between those two nations. They also competed for the gold medal in Tokyo, with the Americans winning by five points. However, today’s different, since many people from Bercy Arena came to watch the momentous match. Team USA defeated Team France, 98-87.
For some players on Team USA, their win is another significant mark in each of their legacies. The nation’s men’s basketball team is already on its fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal.
This is Kevin Durant’s fourth time getting one. For LeBron James, this was his third time, and he even became the 2024 Olympics MVP by FIBA.
For Curry, however, the experience was more memorable. His first entry into the Olympic stage granted him a gold medal.
Not only that, he is also a significant contributor to the victories of Team USA. After all, many expected the ten-time NBA All-Star to perform godly at the games.
Caitlin Clark can play for Team USA at the following Olympics.
Unfortunately for the Indiana Fever star, Caitlin Clark wasn’t included in the women’s basketball team roster for the current Olympics.
Like the men’s version, the women’s Team USA is filled with battle-hardened WNBA players. They’re also now in the finals, aiming to get their eighth consecutive gold medal in the sport.
Even though Clark was omitted, she is highly likely to play in the upcoming Olympics. Besides, at the age of 22, she has already acquired many career achievements.
