Inexperienced went on to elucidate how different basketball gamers from all over the world place an enormous emphasis on Olympic glory and representing their nation on the world stage.
“Outdoors of America, I believe everybody else takes the Olympics extra critical, like if you happen to go speak to most Europeans, they in all probability would quite win an Olympic gold medal quite than win an NBA championship,” Inexperienced mentioned. “It isn’t that approach for us rising up. You develop up in America, the aim is to win an NBA championship. Impulsively you notice, oh man, I could also be adequate to play on Staff USA. I would like the chance to win an Olympic gold medal.
“Nikola Jokic grew up dreaming of profitable an Olympic gold medal, not profitable an NBA championship. To see him on that stage the place everybody else on the earth is watching that factor and like that is the factor that it’s good to do with a view to be this man in our eyes. Michael Jordan went to Barcelona in 1992, look what he did, proper? Such as you begin to take a look at what these guys have completed.”
Contemplating this doubtless was Curry’s solely likelihood at Olympic gold, Inexperienced was ecstatic that his Golden State teammate made the group and helped Staff USA to its fifth consecutive gold medal in basketball.
“Steph wanted that,” Inexperienced instructed reporters. “And to look at him not solely go get it — like all of us — we at all times say, you play on Staff USA. The arduous half is making the group. When you make the group, you are going to win, so you are going to get a gold medal. He made that his second in getting the gold medal. That was as particular as something I’ve ever seen him do.”
Curry’s epic barrage of 3-pointers within the last will go down in historical past as one of many best Olympic basketball feats, and it demonstrated that his very good shot-making skill has not diminished one bit.
Now Curry will look to Inexperienced and the remainder of the Warriors to step up their respective video games because the franchise seeks a return to relevancy within the Western Convention. With the group parting methods with Klay Thompson and buying a bunch of stable veterans, Golden State will look to make it again to the highest of the NBA mountain.
Count on loads of extra scoring barrages from Curry, and some “night time night time” gestures thrown in for good measure, too.
