Steph, himself, confirming during today’s post-game media availability that the role carved out for him on Team USA is to simply be an off ball decoy. 😭💔
I know it’s conductive to winning but fuck is it boring to watch lol

I mean it’s been pretty obvious it sucks though one of the most exciting players to watch just doing this.

While not fun to watch, it’s still one of the most effective methods for this team to win and continues to showcase why Steph is one of the most unselfish and unique superstars in the league

And now the other teams know the secret plan. Lol. Maybe it’s some ‘light years’ shit and this is all building up to feeding Steph in the final matches
wafair
I laughed out loud as the broadcasters were talking about how they as a team do a great job at passing the ball and no one is trying to be a hero as Anthony Edwards is dribbling all around the whole possession, then drives in to take a contested shot.

This is until the gold medal match when Steph goes boom.

Steph Curry is the most selfless superstar in the NBA. He’s so willing to sacrifice his own personal stats, accolades, and fame to help his team win.

Mans getting in his off-season CARDIO for the regular season.

I was so confused when I checked the box score and seen he only had 3 attempts lol

I don’t care as long as it results in a gold medal for Steph.

Saving his curry flurry for the gold medal game.

It sounds like we are Steph sycophants and yes, he hasn’t been shooting well in his rare looks, but his gravity is insane even in international play. He’s being faceguarded and held constantly, and almost always gets switched off on.
He has the same impact that teams are showing Jokic when he has a post touch.

They scored 122 in 40 minutes. No complaints.

I mean Jrue is taking iso pull up 3s there’s literally no reason Steph can’t take a few more shots other than he’s limiting himself, no matter what the “role” is
stayfrosty
Does anyone have the numbers in terms of total shots he has taken comparing to the other players?

Winning > Everything
This has always been Steph. Whatever he can do to help his team win. Of course his role is different when he’s on a team with Lebron, KD, Booker, Embiid, Tatum… who cares? Stats never matter, but especially not in the Olympics. Just gotta win gold.
