Steph Curry drug-tested after Olympic performance

Stephen Curry’s 36-point performance to seal the gold medal for the United States was a classic game a part of Curry’s illustrious basketball career. The fourth-quarter three-point barrage to lift the U.S. over France in the closing minutes was arguably the most iconic stretch of basketball on the international level to capture Curry’s first-ever gold medal.

However, the locker room celebration would be halted because of a drug test for Curry and some of his teammates. During an appearance on The Boardroom at Fanatics Fest, Anthony Edwards revealed that the celebration was delayed due to Curry as well as himself, and Kevin Durant being drug tested.

“After the gold medal, I’m not gonna lie, me and him [Durant] had a—what do they call it?—a drug test,” Edwards said. “We couldn’t even celebrate in the locker room because me, him and Steph had to take like a drug test or something.”

The statement comes without surprise to many as NBA players and other professional athletes have notoriously been known to be subject to random drug tests after high performances. Of course, there has been zero shortages of other-worldly showcases by Curry over the course of his 15-year NBA career, along with some of the league’s best players.

Then again, what Curry continues to show on the court into the ladder years of his thirties is simply uncommon. The 36-year-old Curry was undoubtedly the best player on the court throughout the final two games of Olympic play to propel a huge come-from-behind victory over Serbia and to put France to bed to close out the Paris games.

The leading scorer in the final two games, drawing double teams with some of the sport’s best to ever suit up beside him is simply unimaginable, then again that’s been the M.O. of Curry’s entire career. The final dagger that prompted the ‘Night Night’ celebration was Curry’s fadeaway three-pointer with two taller defenders draped all over him multiple feet beyond the arc.

Fans across the country got the experience and pleasure Warriors fans have been so spoiled with over the past decade and a half to root for shots that have terrorized the NBA. The thrill of watching bad shots by anyone else’s standards fall at such a high cliff to nobody’s surprise.
