Despite being focused on Team USA’s quest for gold at the 2024 Olympics, Stephen Curry made time to support the U.S. women’s volleyball team as they faced China in their opening game. Curry aimed to provide words of wisdom and encouragement to the athletes ahead of their match.
Curry, experiencing his first Olympics, has been making the most of it. Yesterday, he shared an inspiring video that gave fans an inside look at the Olympic opening ceremony, featuring pictures with members of Team USA and other U.S. Olympic athletes.
Curry has already made his mark with Team USA. In their opener against Serbia, Curry started and contributed 11 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists, leading the team to a 110-84 victory. Now, Team USA will shift their focus to South Sudan, whom they face tomorrow.
After the challenge that South Sudan posed in their Olympic showcase game, Curry and Team USA are determined not to be caught off guard. South Sudan has proven they are not to be underestimated, especially after their win over Puerto Rico.
Curry’s performance will be crucial against South Sudan, as his outside shooting and scoring will be needed against a team with the size and interior presence to match up with some of the best big men Team USA has.
Is Stephen Curry Team USA’s MVP?
Stephen Curry is invaluable to Team USA at the Olympics. His shooting prowess and passing ability make the team incredibly dangerous. Curry can spot up from three or make smart passes to teammates, disrupting opponents’ defenses.
Curry is coming off a challenging year with the Warriors. Despite averaging 26.4 points, 5.1 assists, and 4.5 rebounds, the Warriors were eliminated by the Pelicans in the play-in tournament. This is a sharp contrast from two years ago when the Warriors were NBA champions.

With the disappointment of his recent NBA season still fresh, Curry is motivated to win his first Olympic gold medal. This is likely his first and last opportunity to represent Team USA at the Olympics, and he is determined to make it count.
With Steve Kerr as the head coach, Curry has an advantage over many of his teammates, given his familiarity with Kerr’s playing style and offensive-defensive schemes. If Curry plays to his full potential, Team USA could secure their fifth consecutive gold medal this year.
