Famous Reporter: Curry is the Only Reason for Team USA’s Gold Medal Win; What He Does, James and Magic Johnson Couldn’t Achieve

On August 13, after Team USA won the gold medal at this year’s Olympics, there was heated debate about who contributed more to the team, LeBron James or Stephen Curry.

Earlier, renowned sports personality Colin Cowherd said on his podcast: “[LeBron James] can do almost anything that anyone else can do, but he cannot do what Stephen Curry does… Not even Magic Johnson could do what Stephen Curry does… The only reason Team USA won the gold medal in Paris is not LeBron. It’s Curry.”

Cowherd also used Jayson Tatum as an example, stating that if Tatum isn’t shooting well, his effectiveness on the court diminishes significantly, which is not the case with Curry. This is because you still wouldn’t dare bet against him making his next shot. Additionally, Curry scores faster than anyone, and no one in the national team can replicate this ability.

“Combine this with his IQ, emotional intelligence, confidence, leadership, coachability, and so much more that many great players can’t match. When Curry plays for Team USA, their current record is 29 wins and 0 losses. The magic of Curry lies in the fact that despite being doubted for so many years, I still remember during his last finals against Boston, people were saying ‘okay, if you don’t win the Finals MVP…’ I thought ‘wait a minute, people are doubting him? He’s not qualified to be a great player?’ Anyone who doubts Stephen Curry looks foolish. Apart from Magic Johnson, he is the best point guard ever. Only Magic is close to him, and ‘Magic’ couldn’t score like this.” Colin Cowherd continued on his show.
