Steph had the greatest Olympic game ever. Melos 37 came in a 50pt blowout. Every Steph bucket came when we were down, until the steal to put us up 2 possessions. He scored almost 40% of our total pts. And was 2nd in rebounds. He backpacked.
The real MVP is King James (Point God and center)
16 pts
10 assists
12 rebounds
Stop the nonsense! 🤫
@@donyutejamaica631 That was a great Draymond Green impersonation he pulled off. Guarding the other team best big late. Rebounding and pushing in transition. And giving it to Steph all the time.
That said. Steph backpacked the US.
@@donyutejamaica631 you bronsexuals always come when curry goes off knowing curry carried this game and you still bring up bron? Lmaoooo
Steph was very good. His defense in the first three quarters, however, was awful. That little guard was going off. @@dcdj35
@@dcdj35Lebron was doing that before Draymond came in the league 🤡. Draymond does his best Lebron impersonation
Look at curry man, so inspirational
I've been fortunate to be a Warriors fan for a very long time and have had the opportunity, and pleasure, to see (on TV) almost all of Steph's games. Every time I think I've seen the best he can play...along comes another "Curry-Flurry" and he just blows me away all over again.
Many guys came up big but the clear answer is Curry. Curry kept them in the game and made clutch shots late. Curry then Bron followed by Embid and KD.
Curry and then Embiid.
Yeah I can see Embid being #2 it’s close with him and Bron. Both played flawless late and I don’t believe either missed a shot in the 4th. Both played great defense too!
WRINKLE-FREE BRAIN, STUPID FCUKING QUESTION. These dumb media FCUKS still found a way to LIE for LeBALCO 💊💉/ LeBoule 😈. MVP IS Curry BY A LANDSLIDE. And NO WAY, IN NO WORLD, IS THIS TEAM BETTER WITHOUT Jaylen Brown & Jayson Tatum being 2-way elite talents! And Leonard!
clearly curry and then embiid
Lebron is not second dude.
The answer is Steph.
The answer is Referees ❤
@GluvaSoba Serbia shot more three more free throws than the U.S. and the U.S. had 4 more total fouls than Serbia. So the answer, again, is Steph.

If there has to be a “ MVP” for that game it has to be Steph by far they needed every single point he put up , but it can’t be ignored how much it was a team effort down the stretch.
Jorbum wouldve gave up and started crying if he was in steph's position
If Steph didn’t score 36 points USA will be far behind to catch up. Steph was the one brought USA close enough to catch up n gave the USA opportunity to win towards the ends. Yes Embid n KD hit big shots last quarter but it was Steph created that opportunity to have chance to win .
@@tltarzan678Isn't Steph from the "USA"?
@@BucketsCultureWhat are you talking about 🤡
Embid
As a LeBron fan, it was easily Curry. Don't overthink it.

This is nuts. Curry - not a conversation
Curry did an amazing job keeping them in it and the whole MVP squad was amazing in the 4th.
Curry, Embid, Kd, And Lebron it was a TEAM EFFORT.
FAX!!!
Joel - closing the gap
Lebron - for the tie
Steph - for the lead
KD - for the dagger
And D Booker, with the best plus-minus on the team, as the 'glue' guy.
@@cobrakai388well said!
Thank you
Curry single handily won this game for them stop it would been a blowout if not for Curry on the 1st half
Without curry, USA already lost
Cant forget bron and embiid
@@BucketsCultureNo you dont understand, without Steph Embid and Bron are non factors
But they have curry and they did win and they’re gonna win gold .
@@Tryingjoinaclanu dont understand u thinking only scoring is beneficial bron defense and embiid was key
Curry was definitely the main factor but it took a team effort on both ends to get that lead back. If all of them don’t show up in the 4th they probably lose. Serbia was that good yesterday
Steph curry MVP🏆
People who was saying Curry is the mvp your life is worst now because of your tiny brain im so pity for the life that you have now! People who never played basketball will not understand the measurement of MVP or you are just brainless person with your jealousy! People with tiny brain will always choose 1 piece of banana over 100 dollar that can buy a lot of bananas! LEGOAT'S JAMES at age 39 with his leadership, rebounds, assist , physically defense & unselfish points is everything!!!
And now i hope you will understand with your low percentage IQ level or your tiny brain never realized why Step Curry never had straight Champ MVP from Gsw? Im always tired educating this stupid people! I hope someday social media will not allowing a comment or post from a monkey!
Accept the reality instead of crying for the rest of your life by slapping from unbreakable no xerox and can"t be replace by anyone even in million times in the future nba era! His Every insane record day by day is unhuman achievement you never see who is behind Legoat James while you hating him he is a blessed man and you? Legoat James is the only One the King the Supreme diamond and Golden Goat but now goat is not enough for him anymore because his destiny is to become the future God of basketball period.
He is the choosen one the supreme God will always protect him with his family how can you destroy the God's well? God's give him durability streght mind & sucessfull life because he is nice from child upto now and he is the only one good rule model to every generation.
Try to talk yourself infront of the mirror now with your banana.
Wouldnt have won without curry
Easily Steph, you could hear Lebron giving it to Steph at the end in the team huddle. He dominated and hard carried USA.
After the game Lebrun n KD went to Steph and Thank him for his heroics performance
Yeah this team has no egos. It’s about getting the gold
Yeah there’s no way only 1 out of 3 “analysts” gave it to Steph… what game were they watching
Hey Nike, is this what we're doing now? Steph Under Armor Curry was the MVP of this game. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Boston fans stay butthurt. Y’all cry any harder all the Walmarts gonna run out of pacifiers
Without Steph the game would’ve been a blowout. Embiid was clutch in the 4th quarter. Lebron and Durant turned it up on defense end of 3rd and the whole 4th quarter. And Booker on defense has been impressive, like he’s really fighting out there making clutch shots. That was a group effort to comeback in that 4th. It’s rare you have all 5 players contribute like that in tight game.
Why is this even a question? Without Steph, Team USA would have been down 30 points in the first half.
Because LeBron has to be the best no matter what, if he had the exact stats as Steph, they wouldn't be having a conversation.
They say Steph gave away points??😭😭
It's funny how we ignore his 8, 9, and his defensive ability, being the smallest dude on the court
The hate is crazy
@@SomeAverage3Dudehe sucked every game except this game, no?
@@PTCAL suck? Curry was not asked to cook in those games. They won those games with ease.
Usa won those games by 35 pts, without Lebron or without curry they would have won It too, but without curry u dont win against serbya and thats a fact @@PTCAL
Disrespectful. Curry and it’s not a conversation. We have eyes, don’t gaslight us.
He wasnt the x factor. He has still been the worst player on the team.
Of that one game? Chef. Overall, LeMerica.
Jokic pressured into 4 fouls was the biggest factor in the comeback imo, scared of being ejected there were so many more holes in the Serbian defense.
Chef, Embiid, LBJ and Kd were all vital to the comeback
It also slowed Serbia's offense - Serbia had to play 2 centers which reduced the spacing
Talking "Individual credit" is what's wrong with today's game and click bait media.
Agree with you! American media keeps pushing individualism in sports while the rest the world stress team! Thats why America is slowly but surely loosing their edge in International Basketball Competitions. This will be last Olympic tournament where America will be favored to win gold..I guarantee you! Once Steph, KD and King James walk away the reign at the top is over for Team USA!
They've always named mvp's tho
@@donyutejamaica631I doubt it. Our U-17 absolutely destroyed all the international comp. Lots of young talent coming in the next few years. I do think it will be a lot more competitive all around though.
Agreed! Last I checked, basketball is a TEAM sport. It's about the best TEAM not the best individual. And we wonder why teams implode...the media gives only 1 person the glory
Team USA was in a big hole for most of that game. But Steph is the reason why that hole didn’t get bigger. Curry is the MVP from that game by far. In the 4th it was Steph Bron KD and Embiid. 36 Points 9 Threes. 8 Rebounds 2 Assists 1 Steal. And those 2 clutch free throws that made the game a 4 point game (2 Possession game) which was the dagger and pretty much sealed the game.
THE, CHEF WENT OFF 👌🏿 🏀😁😱
The laugh I let out when Joel said “ I’ma tell them to suck it “🤣🤣 gotta love it
Sounds like it was a pathetic, idol-worship, living in momma’s basement, creepy sort of laugh
These are the type of conversations that pit people against one another. LBJ fan vs Curry fan vs KD vs whoever. It doesn’t really matter at the EOD. The USA won and it was a team effort LBJ Curry KD and JE were all the most impactful.
IT DOESN’T MATTER YET YOU NAMED THE CLEAR TOP 3 of Curry BY A MILE, Embiid, then Durant. WRINKLE-FREE BRAIN, STUPID FCUKING QUESTION. These dumb media FCUKS still found a way to LIE for LeBALCO 💊💉/ LeBoule 😈. MVP IS Curry BY A LANDSLIDE.

It's Steph. Even Bron gave the Chef his flowers after the game.
Curry had nearly 40% of their teams points for the game. And it started form the jump. He was clearly the MVP.

They don’t really need anyone to step up seriously until this game, Curry is the reason they didn’t get humbled in semi-final
I see the Espn LeBron glazing continues
Bron is leading the best team in points, rebounds and assists while playing a little defense while being the oldest dude on the team. While this was the Steph game, the LeBron glaze is kinda worth it
USA would have lost without Bron
@@andreasmakoben2455no if curry didnt play well it was over period. Lebum got the team down 17 so stop
@@geza1014 Currys was a non facotr for 4 out of 6 games. Keep talking, Lebron won the MVP
Embiid performance in this game is so underrated.
Who's underrating it? 🤔
Does it matter who was the comeback MVP ESPN ....We won the game you guys have tried to create controversy since the team was formed ....How about for once focus on winning GOLD....Sadly our own American media does this to our USA Team who is representing our country....
The MSM... At least they're consistent.
This shouldn’t be a question STEPH OFC
Curry didn't give up those points - it was Embiids drop coverage
Curry was clutch player of the year for a reason, shout out to LeCaptain America and KD tho
Curry, without him we’d be down 30 early. He hit the go ahead 3 and the clutch fts
Embiid, Lebron and KD did their part too, but curry is the mvp of that game easy
I Agree
Agreed
Agree. People who watched the whole game understand this. People who’ve only watched social media clips think it’s Bron!
Steph kept them in the game matching Serbias shots, hit the 3 to put them up one, the FTs to put the game out of reach and 8 rebounds, 2nd on the team and LBJ is the MVP? wth?
@@ttmho96 i can not understand that... it was Curry all night long.
Curry Duh
That comeback really showed how great this team really is. Serbia literally had the perfect game and shot lights out from 3 pt range. Most people would have thought at one point they were going to run away with this. But the resilience of team USA and the way they came together in the 4th qtr was special to watch. It really shows how this team can turn up and and go nuclear on any opponent when their back is up against the wall. The explosion of Lebron James, and how Embid and Steph Curry locked in that last 5 mins of the 4th qtr really proves how much better Team USA is than any other team in the world. The Dream Team from 92 wouldn't even know what hit them. I'm a Jordan fan more than anyone else. I grew up as a tarheels fan, I followed the Bulls all the way through the 90s, and watched Magic and Bird in my early days. But let's not act like the dream team wasn't playing against plumbers in comparison to a Serbia team that shot lights out and made around 20 3s at 50% throughout the entire game. Serbia literally had the perfect game and still couldn't handle the dominance of Team USA when they locked in. It is a completely different animal when Team USA turns up and yesterday's game against Serbia proved this. What a memorable game I'll never forget.
Come on! Without Curry, there will be no win PERIOD! 36Pts, 8 RBDS
The MVP of this game was Stephen Curry. Whoever says otherwise should never cover the sport of basketball again
Bogdanovic taunting melo woke up team usa
Melo was trash talk to Serbian players, Zero class. No respect for him.
@@sarica6922 his _son_ is more successful than you. Let that sink in.
I knew Malika would show up to work after Steph was balling yesterday
WITHOUT CURRY TEAM USA IS LOST AND GO TO LEBRONZE REALTALK 💯💯
Curry is definitely the MVP. If you watched the game whenever Steph is out on the bench, USA just doing iso’s no play at all and had low scoring chances. Still Lebron, KD, & Embiid did their part, but Steph’s shooting kept them close with Serbia’s lead till USA lead.
That was one of the greatest, stressful games I've ever saw
Joker should be in the running for Olympic MVP, He moved his team and Greece to the next round after taking over the game in OT against South Sudan. He also held his own against 4 MVPs and a roster full of Allstars as the floor General while playing the whole game and almost winning if he wouldn't have gotten his 4th foul in the fourth quarter. Jokic could have had a triple-double but sat out the 4th quarter. He is the Most Valuable Player.
Curry offense and Lebron defense was key for USA comeback
Actually, it's a huge lie going around claiming lebron gaurded jokic. It was actually embiid who gaurded jokic, then they put lebron on jokic to keep embiid in the paint and stop back door cuts. It's the little things you guys don't see
@@dominiquebrown2890yes but when bron matched up with jokic he did a good job
Tabum-DNP- GOAT Coach Kerr's Decion
That was the REAL MVP!!!
lol
@@dominiquebrown2890thank you for stating facts! Where is this bs narrative about LBJ shutting down Jokic coming from?
Lmao gtfo with that bs😂😂😂 lebron did nothing on defense
Are they serious it’s Curry and it ain’t close
Bron did what he always do Steph went insane give that mane that MVP
Nobody talks about Serbia revenge against USA in water polo semi finals yesterday :)
Despite the struggle in the first few games, Steph stood out when it truly mattered, he is the MVP.
That was a crazy comeback 🤯
It was Steph without a doubt. Dam near a triple double with insane TS%. Had the second most rebounds of both teams
AD Will Be Electric Against France❤‼️

Cry harder
Jokic CHOKED hard
Didn’t know the refs went 0-9 from three in the 4th 🤔
@@skate1030 lol
@@focuz4899 yup!!
What’s more critical in crunch time, having a lot of stats? Or having that killer instinct and imposing your will on the other team? Stats are important and helps get u to a certain point in a game, but n the clutch it is about will! Steph showed why he is a champion. He is an assassin in the clutch!!
Bron - Leader
Steph - Baby Face Assasin
KD - Reaper
For some reason Steph never liked that nickname so it never became popular locally. I thought that was too bad as it is pretty cool and is a perfect description.
Yall know it would be night night to the US without Steph, right?
Embiid was the only one who could slow down Jokic who was feasting against AD and Bam. Dude sent Jokic flying from the paint to the three point arc with a shove. 😂
Jorbum would quit and left crying if he was a center
Lebron was guarding Jokic the last six minutes of the game. Embiid was guarding Serbia's power forward.
@thomascrowniii1693 they switched embiid off jokic because serbia kept using dribble hand offs to get embiid off of jokic. The switch allowed embiid to stay in the paint to prevent back door cuts.
@dominiquebrown2890 They switched Embiid off Jokic because Embiid wasn't showing on the pick and pops and because he couldn't switch the action which is why they allowed him to be a rover on the back line instead. And Jokic score exactly once after they made the switch.
@@thomascrowniii1693 that's not entirely correct. The problem is not who embiid switches on to the problem is when embiid switches jokic gets a weak matchup like booker or curry
I love this group. Very honest. Because of this group I subscribed ❤
Last 2 games was The Chef Curry meal LeBron James was doing everything in every game .
All five guys who closed out the game are MVP's.
Comeback MVP was embiid but steph kept them close
Cmon now give bron credit for his defense and his assists
16/32 3 pts 9/14 from Steph
curry was the one and only factor that the team usa was kept relevant.
Stephen curry is the only reason why they wasn’t down by 40😭! Ik people stepped up ⬆️ but if curry didn’t have that magical 1st quarter we would’ve lost this by like 15-20. So it’s not do win Steph curry, he played well beginning to end
Danny Green perfect for ESPN… just saying BS for clicks
Curry was the reason they won if he doesn't make those 3s it's a 30 pt lead or more for Serbia
Steph can put up 100pt Triple Double, and LeBron still gonna be ESPN's MVP even if he only has 1pt
Mvp in Olympic is not based on 2 games . They are based on how they did in the entire tournament
Curry was knocking them down from India the last 2 games 😅
lebron shutting jokic down in the fourth, embiid with his scoring run in the fourth, steph with his big scoring night, KD with the dagger.. u can argue for everyone tbh
Did Lebron really shut down Joker in the 4th? Or did that 4th foul cause Joker to lose aggression?
@@christianpaul-cp6746Jokic CHOKED hard
Team USA is Jokics DADDY!!!
@@christianpaul-cp6746 could be both, but he shot terrible in the fourth either way with the shots he did take.. from what I saw lebron forced him into some pretty tough ones
@@yahir_purgatorylebron held his own against jokic in the post. The 4 fouls did limit hos aggressiveness but lebron did great playin point. Steph has been killin peoples dreams with those crazy 3s. Only thing missing was hearing mike breen say “curry for 3…BANG!” Lol
@@christianpaul-cp6746AD can't bother Jokic, Lebron did better on denying the ball from Jokic in the 4th
The four MVPs did everything needed!
it's either LeBron or Embiid, KD also had clutch moments, don't forget Booker put up some defense and passion
these peoples got pays by Lebron. Curry scored 36 pts and not getting credit. If Curry not scored 36pts then USA go home already
@focuz4899 that is an awfully simplistic way of looking at box score lol
This question is so weak but if Steph doesn't do what he did, LeBron and Embiid's performances would've been for nothing.
That was Curry tf. How is this even a question 😂
Who is this guy saying Steph gave points back on other end he scored double the points his guy scored and he kept USA in the game!
Curry offense lebron defense embiid and kd clutch buckets and booker doing whatever is asked of him.. there isn’t 1 reason they win these games. Every game a different guy is playing a pivotal role. That’s the point.
Lebron's consistency even39🔥👌
POUSERSSSsss .......Jordan,Magic,Bird,Shaq....... for you they invented basketball for these USA mamas boys players.Greatings from Balkan.
Steph Curry is the most disrespected player ever
Tabum-DNP-GOAT Coach Kerr's decision
-Unsung Hero and REAL Mvp
lol
Co MVPs
Steph & Embiid
KD started the comeback at the end of the 3rd. and then continued in the 4th with a quick 5 points and of course the most important dagger with 34 secs left. Not to mention his full court lock down defence shedding screens and causing the back court violation.
He was soo cool taking that shot. All that pressure and it looked to me like he never had a doubt.
StephCurry 👨🍳
The Referee Julio Anaya
LeOLD but LeGOLD 🐐
How is curry not MVP after dropping 36 points with 8 rebounds. This is coming from a Bron fan btw.
Curry but Lebron, Durante &Embid backed them up. If not for Curry USA would've gotten blown out. Every time USA needed a basket he gave it to them.
The coach definitely made the game harder for the USA
The biggest Bron fan would say Curry was clear MVP not close.
All around MVP on the Serbia game would be Embiid. He took on Joker and scored all throughout. Steph was a close second because of his offense but defensively, no comment 😂.
lmao embiid , get that man a DX shirt
Referee from Panama was MVP.
It was a Team Effort 💯💯💯
Lebron made the plays, defended Jokic and made triple double.. he has been consistent since game 1
I’m just happy Team USA won cause I know that backlash from benching Tatum would’ve been louder . I guess his fans wanna see him play but that game sent my anxiety levels through the roof smh
Clearly bron was the MVP… in all the games played he was the most consistent in eye test only… he didn’t need to score by a bunch he control the game and put his foot when needed the most…
Curry absolutely a goat. This guy is another level
Let's give the MVP to the player who did the highest pts. Let us also not forget that to make it possible it's all team effort. Everybody is relentless.
Steph was amazing, but the true MVP for USA was Julio Anaya, assisted by Ademir Zurapovic and Martin Kozlovskis.
