Stephen Curry, star of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a>, has ranked his two best decisive shots in his personal history. One of them was when Team USA faced France in the basketball final of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.



Curry was instrumental in the U.S. victory over France in the final. His ability to score from long distance was key to securing gold for the U.S. team, and a three-pointer made with little time left in the game is considered by him as one of the best of his career.



In an interview with Under Armour Basketball, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a> mentioned that his three-pointer with less than 35 seconds left in the game was one of the best shots of his career. “Four threes in a row to close out the gold medal game,” Curry said. “And then that last one, which was kind of a ridiculous shot even by my standards. So, all that to say, it’s like top two for sure.”



In addition, Curry mentioned another memorable three-pointer he scored in 2016 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. “I think the OKC game, even though it wasn’t a championship game, it was still kinda one of the Mike Breen ‘double bang’ moments,” Curry said. “Just a loud shot in our rise as a team. But I’d say the golden dagger is up there. Top two.”

<h2>Why these shots stand out in history?</h2>



Curry’s selection of these two shots not only speaks to his personal achievements but also underscores his lasting impact on the sport. The shot during the 2024 Olympics exemplifies his leadership on the international stage, solidifying his role as a global basketball icon. On the other hand, the 2016 shot against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/oklahoma-city-thunder">Oklahoma City Thunder</a> is etched in NBA fans’ memories as one of the most thrilling buzzer-beaters, marking a turning point in the Warriors’ journey to greatness.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> just made one of the most bizarre trades in recent <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> history. Moving Jordan Poole for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-paul" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chris Paul</a> seems to be against their nature, especially at this point in his career.



Poole was a bit of a rising star and had just signed a massive contract extension, whereas Paul was part of a salary-dumping deal as he entered the backend of his prime.



Basketball aside, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stephen Curry </a>recently admitted that he felt sorry about his team giving up on Poole, although he knows this is a great opportunity for him to showcase his true skills.



<h2>Stephen Curry ‘Hated’ Losing Jordan Poole</h2>



“You hate losing JP,” Curry told The Athletic. “I know it’s not all the way official yet. So I don’t want to talk too much before it is. But that’s the tough part of the business, seeing a young guy come into his own (and then get traded).”



“It’s a great opportunity for him,” Curry added. “It’s just you get to know someone like that, build a friendship, build a bond. It’s tough to see him go. But, you know, we’re trying to win next year and CP can help us do that.”

Maybe Steph is being politically correct; maybe he does feel sorry for losing Poole. Whatever the case, it was the only way to keep Draymond Green for the long run, so it has to be worth it.
