Stephen Curry has long been regarded as the most outstanding shooter in basketball history, achieving multiple three-point marks that remain unequaled. Curry’s resume includes four NBA competitions, a Finals MVP, two MVP trophies, and several All-Star and All-NBA choices. This summer, he added a gold medal from the Olympics to his disposal, helping Team USA win their fifth consecutive gold medal in the Paris Games.
Curry’s conduct was critical, particularly in instances of difficulty. He led Team USA with 36 points and nine three-pointers in a deciding semifinal versus Serbia. Curry made a remarkable performance in the gold medal match, featuring a decisive run of four three-pointers, punctuated by his legendary ‘night night’ festivities, which stunned the French crowd.
Former basketball player CJ Miles reminisced on Curry’s effect in an interview with RG.com’s Alex Kennedy, calling his accomplishments “wild” and “Stephortless.” Miles underlined that Curry’s talent extends beyond being the top shooter, putting him among the greatest players of all-time. “Steph not only cements his status as the greatest shooter but also elevates himself into the conversation of the all-time greats,” according to Miles.
Miles also lauded LeBron James for his incredible longevity, which he attributes to his mental power. As he enters his 22nd NBA season and turns 40, James remains a formidable force, winning the FIBA Olympic MVP trophy. “LeBron’s longevity is a testament to his mindset,” Miles said, acknowledging the difficulties of staying motivated in a career distinguished by sustained greatness.
Looking forward, Miles believes. Despite the absence of Curry, James, and Kevin Durant, Team USA’s future seems promising. He sees potential in emerging stars like Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Haliburton, and Jayson Tatum, as well as current players like Devin Booker and Bam Adebayo, who are expected to make important contributions. “Team USA is in great hands,” Miles told reporters, “with new talent ready to step up and carry the legacy forward.”
