Stephen Curry and LeBron James collaborated on an Instagram post on Wednesday, sharing photos of the duo alongside Kevin Durant at the Paris Olympics with the caption, “Same team… winning team.”

The images, initially shared on Instagram, were also posted on Curry’s X account:

Additionally, Curry updated his Instagram bio from “Guard for the @Warriors” to “Olympic Champion.”

The trio has dominated the NBA for over a decade (and in James’ case, two decades), but the Summer Olympics in Paris marked the first time James, Curry and Durant represented the U.S. team together on the international stage. The result was an undefeated 6-0 record and America’s fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal in men’s basketball.

All three legends had their big moments at the Olympic Games.

Durant opened the game with 23 points on 8 of 9 shooting in just 17 minutes in the USA’s 110-84 win over Serbia.

James was the MVP of the entire men’s basketball competition, averaging 14.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1.3 steals.

Curry, of course, made eight three-pointers against France, including four in the final three minutes. His final three-pointer was a rainbow shot over the arms of Nicolas Batum and Evan Fournier that bounced into the net and gave the USA a 96-87 lead in the final minute.

Curry also scored 36 points in the semifinal against Serbia, while James recorded a triple-double with 16 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in the same game that helped the U.S. overcome a 13-point deficit early in the fourth quarter.

Now they all have gold medals in tow and the focus will soon turn to the NBA regular season, which begins in two months.
