Steph Curry sits on a couch and points at himself.

On Tuesday, Netflix released a new behind-the-scenes documentary about men’s basketball at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Court of Gold follows Team USA, France, Serbia, and Canada as they prepare for the Olympic Games. Watch a special clip reliving Stephen Curry’s Olympic heroics for Team USA.

The gold medal round featured Team USA and France.

With just under three minutes left, France’s Victor Wembanyama made a basket to make it 82-79 Team USA.

Then, Curry wrote the next chapter of his legendary career.

Team USA coach Steve Kerr said Curry told him to run “ear tug,” a pick-and-roll with LeBron James.

“Steph just basically said, ‘Give me the ball. I know where I want it. They can’t guard that,'” Kerr says in Court of Gold.

James came off the screen and hit Curry with a behind-the-back pass. Curry caught the ball and made a quick move before launching a three-pointer. Curry nailed the shot to give Team USA an 85-79 lead.

The three-point barrage did not stop there, as Curry hit two more from long distance.

With under one minute left and Team USA up 93-87, Curry capped off a spectacular game with a fadeaway three-pointer to ice the game. Curry pulled out the “night night” celebration as Team USA captured the gold medal with a 98-87 victory.

“99.99999% of the players in the world would have missed that shot. Only one guy could have made it. Him,” France’s Nicolas Batum said of Curry’s miraculous shot.

All six episodes of Court of Gold are now streaming on Netflix.

Featured players in the series include Curry, Wembanyama, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Nikola Jokić.

One of the viral clips features an emotional Durant at the end of episode 2 when he reflects on what basketball means to him.

“The game has saved my life,” a tearful Druant told director Jake Rogal.

Durant is Team USA’s all-time leading Olympic scorer.
