More than a year after Team USA’s dramatic gold medal victory at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Stephen Curry and LeBron James are still laughing, and marveling, over one unforgettable moment that has since become an iconic image in international basketball history.
During the final minutes of the gold medal game against France, Curry hit a series of clutch three-pointers that sealed the win for Team USA. But it was one particular shot, and the photo that captured it, that continues to spark reactions from both Curry and James.
In a recent episode of their joint podcast Mind the Game, the two legends broke down the final sequence. The final shot swished through the net, giving Team USA a commanding lead.
“I’m still laughing at the picture… you and KD over there with your hands up.”
Team USA’s win over France capped a thrilling tournament that included a comeback victory over Serbia in the semifinals, where Curry dropped 36 points and LeBron recorded a triple-double. The gold medal was Curry’s first in Olympic competition, and it marked LeBron’s final appearance in international play.
