If the U.S. wins the gold, then it should be. He has had better games with the Warriors. But given the circumstances, and the stage they were in, I think there's no comparison. The Olympics aren’t remotely on the same level of an NBA Finals in terms of competition. This is a good moment in an amazing career, but few will remember it a month from now because nobody cares that the US beat Serbia. We only try to win the gold because of how embarrassing it has been when we don’t.

Great moment for Steph, but the NBA Finals is a different level of competition. The NBA Finals is considered the highest level of competitive basketball. It's like comparing a gold medal in soccer to winning The World Cup.

Appreciate your general point here but the comparison isn't really accurate, particularly with men's soccer which no one cares about because it is a youth tournament. At least all the big NBA names go to the Olympics.

I would probably say today's performance might surpass his NCAA tourney cinderella run with the underdog Davidson Wildcats(Which people sleep on, it was insane how a mid major player like him took over that tourney) but it still pales in comparison to that 1st NBA title win of the Warriors. Especially given minus one year(The Baron Davis/Nelson year), the GS Warriors were punching bags to the Lakers/Suns/Kings in the 00's where they finally got out of the shadows and became feared again.
Big time performance for someone who for the past 2 years, people thought "Step Curry isn't in his prime/isn't what he used to be". Think he put people back on notice that especially in a European game where the 3 ball is simply deadly, that he's pretty good.
That and he saved his head coach Steve Kerr's ass mightily from a soon to be disaster waiting here if they didn't comeback. I would let Curry take the entire preseason off as a thank you if I am Kerr.

USA vs AUS has been insane in the women's sport @admin . Basketball US has a big lead but this freestyle is insane. Ya girl Raygun got served by Logistix. Saw someone say that the breakdance that Raygun did was the same as this and I busted out laughing. Probably goes back to my point of this being the same gold medal count as a bigger sport but these dudes and gals are having fun.

Give Raygun the gold. Look at how she holds that thought process throughout towards the end. This has been the the star of the day for sure. She is the new meme of 2024 olympics. 36 year old dance teacher who breakdances part time going up against the youth of the world. THE KANGAROO. Big Pete you guys have done it again. This has to be an NPC in the next Jet Set Radio game or something.

The superstar women have really delivered so far - three gold for O'Callahan, two each for Titmus, McIntosh, Jess Fox and Biles. Time to add Sha'Carri Richardson to this group. She is tearing up the olympics in her debuting. Look at the swag in this video, just blew by 2 other countries' runners and looked at em before clearing.

I’m watching breakdancing now. wtf It's been intense, I didn't expect this. Saw some 40 year old Japanese dude just kill it. Looked like Eddy Gordo from Tekken the way he was rolling out there. Dousing the haters. Superstar performance.

#MissionAccomplished Imane Khelif won gold. How proud of you are for her c? I came in confused, came in befuddled, now I can't wait to see the discourse between the Anti Khelif people vs the Pro Khelif people. Imagine if Ting wins too? Oh lawd.

Forget Jess Fox, Ariarne Titmus, Kaylee McKeown, Mollie O'Callaghan - Raygun proves it's all about having a go.
See you in 2032, Blindy - I'll throw a shrimp on the barbie for ya.

1st ever breakdancing competition in history, had to go out in style. Nobody will remember the Japanese domination(I blame it on DDR TBH) of the event, but Raygun? ESPN and TIME magazine have articles about her. www.espn.com/olympics/story/_/id/40805842/australian-sports-exec-unhappy-trolling-breaker-rayguntime.com/7009653/rachael-gunn-australian-breaking-olympian-memes/One of those "I knew she would break the internet" as soon as I saw it on my twitter feed. :lol:

Alyssa Naeher. Just a rock at GK. So friggin' good. Made like 2-3 clutch saves this gold medal game. IF USA holds on, give this woman the MVP of tourney. EDIT: LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO REDEEM TEAM IS BACK. Out with the old guard of Alex Morgan and Rapinoe and in with the youth. and a manager who can actually adjust.

Going from watching Ian Eagle call the Commanders/Jets game and in the span of 30 minutes listening to his son Noah Eagle call this USA/France gold medal final, it's so eerily similar how much they sound the same.
It's like Ian had his son study his tape locked in a basement for like 8 hours a day.

Curry's like a man possessed. He can't be stopped.
If there's such a thing, I'd have him as MVP of the tournament.
