Anthony is one of the best Olympic players of all time.

He won three Gold medals in 2008, 2012 and 2016 (and one Bronze in 2004).

In the team's 95-91 victory over Serbia, Curry came just one point shy of tying Anthony's scoring record.

Via USA Basketball Communications on August 8: "Stephen Curry put on a signature shooting performance in the USA's semifinal win against Serbia. He scored 36 points (12-19 FG, 9-14 3FG), the second-most points by an American at the Olympics. Carmelo holds the record with 37 points against Nigeria in the 2012 Olympics."
