Steph Curry: 'Unbelievable' USA Olympic Gold Medal Win 'Ranks Very High' For Me

Steph Curry knows a thing or two about championships.

The four-time NBA champ earned his first Olympic gold medal on Saturday when Team USA took down France 98-87 in Paris.

Following the game, Curry reflected on the moment on the NBC broadcast with Mike Tirico and said that he considers this accomplishment among his highest in the sport:

"This was a test. Obviously France in their home building, you knew they weren't going to quit and they threw everything at us. There was a little bit of that a new team like we have, no matter how much talent we have, we got a little out of sorts down the stretch. Turned the ball over, taking quick shots and obviously it was a big shot to put us up six, that kind of settled everything and then the rhythm, the avalanche came and thankfully the other three went in but that was an unbelievable moment. I've been blessed to play basketball at a high level for a very long time. This ranks very high in terms of the excitement and the sense of relief getting to the finish line."

Curry later celebrated the moment with Anthony Edwards:

He continued by saying that he has had Olympic gold on his mind for a few years and finishing the job is something he is happy to have accomplished.

"It is special. Two years ago when we won our last championship, I knew that this was going to be on the horizon as something that I was excited to go after. Anything you sign up for, any mission that you take on, you give everything you have, so these last… five weeks together with this group has been nothing but 'One-two-three gold.' That's all we've been saying. So for us to finally accomplish that, for me to get a gold medal is insane and I thank God for the opportunity to experience it."

Curry played a major role in the U.S. victory. He led the team with 24 points and was 8-of-13 from beyond the arc. This came after a 36-point performance in the semifinal against Serbia, a game in which the U.S. had to come back to win 95-91.

He averaged 14.8 points across the Olympic run, but his final two games will be the ones that are remembered in the future.
