France FUMES over Steph Curry’s Paris Olympics heroics for USA as commentators hilariously brand him ‘this devil’ – while country’s McDonalds REMOVES curry sauce from its menus
Steph Curry’s demonic performance against France in the men’s gold medal game on Saturday left the host nation incensed as Team USA won.
During his first Olympic campaign, Curry excelled over his All-Star teammates, closing the show with a 24-point tirade during their 98-87 win over France.
As Curry unleashed a flurry of stunning three-pointers toward the end of the game, French commentators watched in horror as they referred to Golden State’s poster boy as “the devil” during the broadcast.
“Come on, we have to keep stealing the ball,” said one commentator as the helpless French defence tried to stop the marksman.
“This devil named Curry is hurting us,” he exclaimed after Curry fired another long-range shot.

Other notable fragments from the French broadcaster include:
‘Watch out, watch out for Steph’s shot! Oh no. But no!’
‘Steph Curry at the buzzer… how is this possible?!’
‘Steph Curry. He’s got the hot hand, he’s got the hot hand hot! How is this possible?! He’s got the hot hand, Steph Curry!’
‘They gave it everything they had, the French. But with Steph Curry and his maestra.’
Curry earned the tag after shooting 8 of 14 from the field and 8 of 13 three-pointers. He also had a rebound, five assists and two steals in the win at Bercy Arena.

In addition to the radio commentator’s meltdown, Curry’s has also had an impact on France’s fast food scene. Early on Saturday, Front Office Sports reported that France is “considering” taking curry sauce off McDonald’s menus for the next four years.
FOS shared a screenshot from McDonald’s France in their post showing a photo of the sauce, with the caption: ‘For obvious reasons, we are considering removing this sauce.’
His final appearance against the French was heralded by a 36-point explosion in Team USA’s comeback attempt against Serbia in the semifinals. His efforts to eliminate Nikola Jokic and company included nine hits from three-point territory.
