Stephen Curry Places ‘Golden Dagger’ Among His Top Career Moments…

Stephen Curry recently ranked the ‘Golden Dagger’ shot from the Olympic Final against France as one of the top two shots in his career. This summer, Curry had a defining moment when he made a series of three-pointers, including the ‘Golden Dagger,’ to secure the Gold medal for Team USA in his first Olympic appearance. Under Armour asked him to rank this shot, and Curry placed it among his top two career highlights.

Curry explained that the significance of the moment, his first Olympic experience, and hitting four consecutive threes to close out the game made it unforgettable. The last shot, which he considered incredible even by his standards, stood out. He ranked it alongside his famous 2016 shot against the Oklahoma City Thunder, known for Mike Breen’s iconic “double bang” call, which symbolized the Warriors’ rise as a dominant team.

The ‘Golden Dagger’ refers to Curry’s final three-pointer over Nicolas Batum and Evan Fournier, sealing the win against a tough French team in the Olympic Gold medal game. The other shot Curry mentioned is his long-range buzzer-beater against OKC during the 2015-16 season, a key moment in the Warriors’ historic 73-9 season and Curry’s ascent to superstardom.

As the NBA’s all-time 3-point leader, these shots are just a few from Curry’s long list of incredible moments. Fans hope to see more iconic plays from him before he retires, further solidifying his legacy as the greatest shooter in NBA history.
