Steph Curry teases playing for Team USA in 2024 Paris Olympics: "Already kind of recruiting for next summer"

Fresh off from winning the 2023 American Century Championship, Steph Curry teased the possibility of playing for Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The only thing missing from Curry's legendary resume is an Olympic gold medal, and he could finally get it next year.

In an interview with NBA Today on ESPN, Curry said that Team USA coach Steve Kerr has already started recruiting him. The coach-player duo has won four NBA championships together, so it would be special to add an Olympic gold medal together.

"That's the one piece of the resume coach always likes to joke that I don't have," Curry said.

"He's already kind of recruiting for next summer. ... I have no idea what the next summer will look like. It obviously is an extra bonus that coach Kerr is leading that charge. I love to play for him any day of the week, so we'll see how it goes come summer of 2024."

Steph Curry already has a stacked resume but is missing an Olympic gold medal. Curry has not had a chance to play for Team USA in the Olympics due to several circumstances. He was dealing with knee and ankle injuries in 2016, while the COVID-19 pandemic affected his decision in 2020.

However, it should be noted that Curry has two FIBA World Cup gold medals. He was part of the 2010 and 2014 Teas USA rosters that won the tournament in Turkey and Spain, respectively.
