From a Gold State standpoint, Curry can't be missed. Golden State's iconic player and franchise star.

He participated as a member of the U.S. dream team at the 2024 Paris Olympics, giving the U.S. a gold medal along with LeBron James and others. In particular, he showed off his robustness by showing his crazy clutch 3-point shooting ability in the semifinal match against Serbia and the final France.
In addition, he advanced to the final six times and won four times to Golden State.
He is building a unique area for his all-time three-point shooting. He has a record of numerous 3-pointers, including the most 3-pointers ever. The 34-year-old this year will be able to play for Golden State until the age of 37 under a one-year extension contract.
