Anthony Edwards’ Joke About Stephen Curry

Stephen Curry ended up playing a pivotal role in Team USA’s gold medal-winning showing at the 2024 Paris Olympics, but for a while it seemed like that wouldn’t be the case.

Before the Olympics actually commenced, Curry shot 37 percent from beyond the arc as he attempted to play around the likes of LeBron James and Anthony Edwards.

During the first four games of the Olympics Curry averaged just seven points per outing. It wasn’t until the controversial Serbia game, one where many believe the refereeing was corrupt, that Curry really showed off.

In that particular Game Curry put up 36 points and helped Team USA battle back from a 13-point second-half deficit.

Curry’s up and down play throughout the Olympics wasn’t lost on Edwards.

“He (Edwards) was like, ‘I only showed up to Paris for the last three days’ because I was…. I saved all of my shots for the last two Games. I didn’t play. I didn’t shoot the ball well. The first four, I think, only made like five 3s, and then ended up making 17, sorry 16, and it’s a two-Game stretch,” Curry said.

Lucky for Team USA, when it mattered most, Curry didn’t wilt under the pressure.

He stepped up.

As a result of Curry’s efforts, Edwards and a whole lot of others got to walk away from the 2024 Paris Olympics with a gold medal.
