Center Bam Adebayo reacted naturally to his Team USA teammate Stephen Curry’s ridiculous three-pointer to help beat France in the Olympic gold medal game against France on Saturday.

Bam on Steph’s last 3 photos: “I was like, ‘What the fuck?’ And then I remembered who was shooting.”

With 36 seconds left and his team up 93-87, Curry launched an off-balance three-pointer from the elbow, despite being guarded by both Evan Fournier and Nicolas Batum. Surprisingly (or maybe not so much, considering who shot it), the ball went in, all but ending the game and giving the United States gold.

Curry has hit a lot of tough shots in his career, but even this one impressed him.

Curry made four of his eight 3-pointers in the final three minutes to hold off France, which had cut the American lead to 82-79 in the fourth quarter.

But Curry, who finished with 24 points, was simply unstoppable. And now Team USA has won five straight gold medals and eight of the last nine in Olympic men’s basketball.
