Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham reacted to a video of Kevin Durant speaking about Steph Curry on Thursday. The video clip was featured in the Netflix documentary, "Court of Gold." The film chronicled the USA men's basketball team's gold medal-winning run at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Durant spoke about Curry in response to French basketball player Evan Fournier's comments.

"@easymoneysniper this one got me 💀💀," Cunningham wrote on her Instagram story.

In the video, Fournier claimed France had an edge over Team USA because of their superior chemistry.

"We definitely have an advantage," Fournier said. "We know each other. We've played together for 10+ years. We have training camps every summer. These guys don't. These guys just show up for three weeks and just go play."

France and the USA faced off against each other for the gold medal, and the Americans defeated the French 98-87 behind Curry’s 24 points on 8 of 12 shooting from 3-point range. It marked the Americans’ fifth straight Olympic title. They got the gold medal thanks to efforts from a star-studded roster that included Curry, LeBron James, Durant, and several other NBA stars.

"Court of Gold" was released on Netflix on February 18 and featured six episodes that tracked the men's basketball competition. Serbia joined the Americans and France on the podium after clinching the bronze-medal game against Germany.
