MIES (Switzerland) - Stephen Curry spent a part of his summer in Paris playing for the USA team that won gold the Men's Basketball Tournament at the Olympic Games, and he probably picked up some French while he was there.
"Déjà vu" might be the best way to describe what basketball fans felt as they watched him last night with the Golden State Warriors against the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Emirates Cup. Yes, he did it again—almost in the exact same way.
His team struggling with momentum in the clutch? ✅
Scoring 12 points in the last 3 minutes? ✅
Scoring his team’s last 12 points? ✅
The final dagger to seal the win? ✅
Nuit nuit. ✅
It's impossible to not immediately feel the resemblance to Curry's iconic performance in the recent gold medal game of the Paris Olympics where he knocked down four three-pointers in the final three minutes, pushing USA to a win over hosts France.
Deja Vu indeed. Nuit, nuit once again.
