Stephen Curry, widely considered the best basketball player in the world currently in action, has spoken of his desire to make his Olympic Games debut at Rio 2016. The 27-yearold guard, who was voted the NBA’s most valuable player last season, has won two world titles (2010 and 2014) with the USA but was not selected for the team that won gold at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Curry, who broke his own NBA record with 286 threepointers last season, has been in majestic form again this term, helping defending champions the Golden State Warriors make an NBA record-breaking start with 16 straight wins. He is the league’s leading scorer, with an average of 32.1 points per game.

Speaking to journalists on an international conference call on Wednesday (25 November), Curry was asked about the prospect of playing at Rio 2016. “I’m definitely excited to be part of the Olympic team. To have that experience in Rio for the Olympics will be a dream come true. With the culture down there, the sights, and just the whole Olympic experience, it should be a once-in-a-lifetime memory.”

Curry said he had “a great time” in Brazil during a week’s holiday with his family when he was 18. “To go back and represent my country, play with all the other great NBA talent that’s going to make up the Team USA roster, it’s going to be a lot of fun,” he said. “And it’ll be here before you know it. That’s the cool part.”
