It’s an experience the three-point specialist thoroughly enjoyed. “Being a tourist is fun. Being able to see different cultures, the history of this beautiful city,” he admitted in a video posted on X.

Team USA is cramming with the best crop of the NBA. They have future stars, living legends and a shared passion to bring a fifth consecutive gold medal back. Being unbeaten in their showcase games was a positive start. However, after the thin win against Germany, Curry admitted that Team USA is only scratching the surface of their best.
“We haven’t played our best offensive game yet. When we lock in defensively and rebound, nobody can really beat us. That’s how we’ve been coming back these last two games. Execute the details, just playing solid, hard-nosed basketball. We’ll be fine”, he said after beating Germany,

Curry is aware that if their strategies aren’t executed well. Team USA is “beatable”.
