Jimmy Fallon posted an epic TikTok with Steph Curry posing for him in the middle of the Olympic gold-medal game

What a way to get an amazing TikTok.

Jimmy Fallon has worked with Steph Curry before, so maybe it was easy for the superstar who delivered an all-timer of a performance for Olympic gold to pose for the Tonight Show host in the middle of a game.

Because that’s exactly what happened. Curry hit a shot and hit a pose right at Fallon, who was filming him for one of those “Are you happy to be in Paris? OUI!” TikTok videos that we’ve seen athletes, fans and pretty much everyone else do while the Olympics has been going on.

The video really did some out amazingly, so here it is:

Nets’ Jalen Wilson, Trendon Watford react to Steph Curry’s Team USA heroics

Brooklyn Nets forwards Jalen Wilson and Trendon Watford reacted to Steph Curry’s heroics in Team USA’s 98-87 win over France on Saturday.

The Brooklyn Nets are on vacation as they await the start of training camp and eventually, the start of the 2024-25 season for a rebuilding franchise. Even though Nets guard Dennis Schroder was unable to lead Germany to the bronze medal, some of his Brooklyn teammates tuned in to watch Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James and Team USA win the gold medal.

Team USA came into Saturday’s gold-medal game against France as double-double favorites and they met those expectations by beating Victor Wembanyama and company 98-87. The main reason that the United States was able to win the gold medal for the fifth consecutive Olympics was because of Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry.

Curry went off for 24 points in the contest and while he did not make a shot inside the three-point line, he went 8-of-12 (66.7%) from deep, including some incredible shots to keep America in the game. As a testament of how well Curry played down the stretch of the game, he made eight three-pointers, the most for any player in the final of an Olympic tournament.

To be clear, Curry got plenty of help from his teammates as James put up 14 points and 10 assists while Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant dropped 15 points, four rebounds, and four assists. As many around the world were watching the gold medal game, so were some of the Nets and here are their reactions:

And while fans can’t wait to hear Roundball Rock again, a few questions still remain about NBC’s coverage. One of them is: Who will the lead broadcast team be?

If these Summer Olympics were a tryout for the broadcasting duo of play-by-play man Noah Eagle and color commentator Dwyane Wade, they absolutely nailed it.

Throughout the men’s basketball tournament in Paris, France, fans have mostly enjoyed the calls from Eagle and Wade. In the gold medal game in particular, Eagle met the moment where Steph Curry clinched the win by swishing a 3-pointer over two French defenders.

While his late game heroics were incredible, it was one picture from earlier in the matchup that got people talking online. Framed like a painting you’d see in the nearby Louvre in Paris, it shows France’s young 7-foot-4 superstar Victor Wembanyama closing out on Curry just after he’s released a high-arcing shot.

The phrase “it’s art” is generally overused. Not in this case.

Steph Curry sealed the win over the Americans in a way that only he could, draining an absurd 3-pointer over two French defenders.

When the game was on the line, Steph Curry stepped up in an incredibly crucial way for the Americans in a way that only he could.

Which is to say, he hit a flurry of ridiculous 3-pointers.

Late in the fourth quarter of the gold medal game, with just 2:58 to play, France cut the U.S. lead to just three points after Victor Wembanyama tipped in an offensive rebound.

And then, 10 seconds later, Curry swished a 3-pointer.

And then another.

And then another.

And then another.

In the final three minutes of the game, Curry scored 12 points to put the game on ice for the Americans. The dagger in the 98-87 victory that paved the way for the U.S. to secure its 17th Olympic gold medal came with 35 seconds left when Curry responded Wembanyama’s 3-pointer by hitting one of his own over two French defenders.

Curry then told the Frenchmen, “Night, night.”

It was an absurd shot that sealed the win, pushing Team USA’s lead back to nine points. Curry would finish with 24 points on 8-of-13 shooting from 3-point land along with five assists, leading the Americans to a win over France on their homecourt.

Even Dwyane Wade was in awe.

With a day off during the group stage in Paris, Stephen Curry and other members of Team USA’s men’s basketball program made an appearance at the gymnastics all-around final to show support for legendary Olympians Simone Biles and Suni Lee.

Curry and Team USA cheered on Biles as she won gold and Lee as she won bronze in the all-around competitions. Both Biles and Lee received their second medals in the 2024 Olympics after securing gold in the team all-around final. Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade earned the silver medal in the event.

Lee won gold in the all-around three years ago in Tokyo with Biles winning it before that in 2016 in Rio. Team USA has won gold in the gymnastics all-around in five straight Olympic games.

Biles’ gold medal on Thursday was the ninth Olympic medal of her career, the most ever won by an American gymnast. Biles could potentially add more medals as she’s set to compete in three more events in Paris, the balance beam, floor exercise and vault.

Curry and Team USA men’s basketball will be back on the court on Saturday morning in Lille for the final leg of the group stage against Puerto Rico.
