Stephen Curry was thinking about this two years ago, after winning his fourth NBA title with the Golden State Warriors. The only thing left for him to win was Olympic gold. And in the ultimate moment, he made sure that medal would be his.

The USA is atop the international men’s basketball world once again, after Curry scored 24 points—all on 3-pointers—and led the way to a 98-87 win over France in the final on Saturday night. It was the fifth consecutive gold medal for the USA and the 17th in 20 all-time appearances for the Americans at the games.
