“What (Curry)’s missing is an Olympic gold medal. And I think he really needs to concentrate on making the 2024 Olympic team” Kerr stated after Game 6 against the Celtics.
Curry did not take part in the 2016 Rio Olympics because of an injury and opted out of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as well. With Steve Kerr taking over for Gregg Popovich, his current team coach will have help on the bench with the likes of Monty Williams, Erik Spoelstra, and Mark Few. Curry who will be 36 when the 2024 games come around could use that tournament as a final hurrah for one of the best careers in NBA history.
