In an interview with ESPN‘s Malika Andrews, the two-time MVP said that Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has been joking that the Olympic gold medal is the piece of hardware missing from Curry’s legendary resume.
Kerr, who also serves as the head coach for Team USA, is already recruiting Curry to play in Paris 2024.
“I have no idea what next summer looks like, it obviously is an extra bonus that coach Kerr is leading that charge, and I’d love to play for him any day of the week, so we’ll see how it goes come summer ’24,” the four-time champion answered.
The Warriors guard wished Team USA the best of luck for this summer’s FIBA World Cup, which will mainly take place in the Philippines from August 25 to September 10
