Steve Kerr talks about getting Stephen Curry in Team USA
Stephen Curry, in his 13 years of professional basketball has achieved a lot of things. He has countless records to his name, 2x MVP trophies, plenty of all-star selections, and 3 NBA Championships. There are only a few things that he lacks in his resume. Curry hasn’t won a Gold medal with Team USA yet, and he doesn’t have a Finals MVP.
Steve Kerr has taken it upon himself to make sure both those things happen. This year’s Warriors’ squad is prepared to go the distance, with Stephen Curry at the helm of it all. Steve Kerr also wants his superstar to win with Team USA and plans to include him in the squad if Curry agrees.
“If Steph is healthy and wants to play, I’m pretty sure I can convince Grant to put him on the roster.” – USA Basketball coach Steve Kerr.

Kerr also notes that he’d obviously love to have Steph Curry as part of Team USA — but it’s still too early to know whether or not Curry will be able to participate or not because players’ plans can change so quickly.

Well, it would be incredible if Steph can play with Team USA and get a Gold there. It would really complete one of the two major missing things in his otherwise perfect resume.
