This is Adebayo's second time competing in the Olympics.
He helped lead Team USA to a Gold medal in 2020.
As for Curry, this is his first time competing in an Olympics.
The future Hall of Famer has four NBA Championships, two MVPs and one Finals MVP.
Therefore, a Gold medal is the only thing missing from his long list of accolades.
One day after winning the 2022 NBA Finals, Stephen set a goal.
