Steph Curry had already established himself among the best 15 players in NBA history.
The two-time MVP is undoubtedly the best shooter of all time and has led the Golden State Warriors to four NBA Championships.
That said, the 36-year-old was still missing an Olympics apperance (and a Gold medal).
On Saturday afternoon, Curry led Team USA to a 98-87 victory over France to win the Gold medal at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
He erupted for 24 points on 8/13 shooting from the three-point range and carried the team down the stretch.
Following the game, Curry made a post to Instagram that had over 1.3 million likes in three hours.
Curry captioned his post: "Yall gone get this Gold Medal Content! #nuitnuit"
One person who left a comment was Curry's former Warriors coach, Mark Jackson.
Jackson wrote: "Congrats Legend!!!"
Jackson was at the helm for three seasons and had a 121-109 record in 230 games.
The Warriors made the NBA playoffs twice in that span, and Jackson did a good job of helping to develop Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson.
The Warriors hired Steve Kerr (the season after Jackson), and they made the NBA Finals for five straight seasons (2015-19).
They won three titles over that stretch before winning their fourth in 2022.
It's good to see that Jackson is still supporting Curry.
In addition to his brief coaching tenure, Jackson had a 17-year NBA career as a player.
He spent time with the New York Knicks, Indiana Pacers, Los Angeles Clippers, Utah Jazz, Toronto Raptors, Denver Nuggets and Houston Rockets.
