Can someone explain to me how curry could have 1 point and also be 100% on his free throws? If he got fouled on a made shot, it would me an “and 1” and he could be 100% with only one free throw. But if it was not on a made shot, it should have either been “1 and 1” or 2 shots…and then he wouldn’t be 100% on his FTs. Is there a different international rule that allows for just 1 shot on a non-shooting foul (or on a missed shot)? Or are his stats wrong on the Olympic App. This is confusing to those of us with just a small amount of bball rule knowledge.

Did one of his team members enter the lane too soon and nullify one of his free throws?
Good thinking…that might be a possible explanation. (Maybe the only one). I didn’t see what happened, just saw it in the stats.
There was a breakaway foul or something like that that only got one FT
Is that an international rule? Or maybe it was a one shot technical?
I was doing Peloton so I couldn’t listen, but there was a foul on Davis after a rebound and USA was trying to fast break- the foul was called and then Curry was shooting one FT so that was my assumption.

The latter. Curry started today, but he was a major liability while he was in there. He is relentlessly targeted on the defensive end, and he hasn't been up to it. He racked up four fouls today to go along with not much else.
Curry shot the tech that was called on the South Sudan bench/coach
(ETA: yes, you got it, didn't read your post all the way through)

Curry is the one of the greatest shooters of all time, right?

Nah, a mild chill at best. For Joel Embiid, it was just one game. Now witness the ice age of a full season of non-highlights. I give you Shaedon Sharpe at Kentucky:

Clutch 3 by RJB to put Canada up 5 with 40 seconds left.
RJ is off to a start: 63 points in Canada's three wins as they sweep the toughest bracket, good for third in the tournament behind Hachimura and some Greek. And 63 efficient points.
Hoping for that all-North America gold medal game over here.
That draw will be of interest as assuming the United States does not try to flashback to 2004 against Puerto Rico, they will be the other top seed next to Germany.
South Sudan, on the other hand, must either defeat Serbia or lose by only one point to advance.

Not anymore.
But there was, sadly, a bit of deja vu watching Alvarado light it up against a team I was rooting for.
Reminded of my dislike for him. Haven’t seen the air guitar yet.
