Paris Olympics: Coco Gauff Joins Steph Curry to Celebrate Cameron Brink’s Latest Feat Days After Viral Roland Garros Tribute

Seeking redemption for the humiliation they faced in the FIBA World Cup, Team USA is sending a star-studded team to the Paris Olympics hoping to bring home Gold. Among them is also four-time Champion Stephen Curry, who has never represented his nation in the Olympics despite being a legend in the game. And it looks like Steph’s first Olympics is going to be a memorable one because his Godsister and WNBA star Cameron Brink will accompany him, leaving the Warriors star and even tennis prodigy Coco Gauff ecstatic!

Brink shared several pictures of herself receiving the Team USA jersey, making it known to the world that she will be heading to Paris to participate in the Women’s 3X3 basketball tournament. The LA Sparks rookie will team up with Rhyne Howard, Hailey Van Lith, and Cierra Burdick, who will all be making their Olympics debut this July. Realizing the Olympics debut is another thing they will have in common, Steph couldn’t contain his excitement and shared the announcement on his Instagram story, writing, “Same Team!!!”

While the duo is not biologically related, they have been tied together because of their parents’ friendship. Attending college at Virginia Tech, Steph and Cameron’s parents are very close friends. Dell and Greg were teammates on the Men’s basketball team and their mothers, Sonya and Michelle Bain-Brink, shared the same room. So, the godparents and then god-siblings connection happening was rather natural and with love. And like a true elder brother, Steph has helped Cameron every step of the way. “She was trying to develop her jumper and I spent a little bit of time with her, gave her some pointers,” he revealed, in an interview three years ago.

Even tennis prodigy, Coco Gauff, who is currently competing in the French Open, is looking forward to meeting Brink in Paris. “See you there❤️❤️❤️,” Gauff wrote on the WNBA star’s post. This wholesome gesture comes days after Brink took the internet by storm by modeling her tennis-like outfit after Gauff as a tribute to the tennis star’s Roland-Garros pursuit.

Stephen Curry and Cameron Brink are excited for their first Olympics

The moment Cameron realized that she had been selected for Team USA, she immediately broke down in tears, overwhelmed by the news. “Oh my God! Oh my God! Thankyou.” An emotional Brink said as she was handed her new jersey. After finally soaking in that her lifelong dream had come true, she revealed how excited she was to be making her Olympics debut.

“Most excited to be an Olympian. It’s been a dream my whole life and an opportunity to win the gold medal… Honestly, I can’t even put it to words,” she said. In her debut season with the Sparks, she is currently averaging nearly nine points and over five rebounds. And that could surely help Team USA bag a Gold in Paris.

Meanwhile, Stephen Curry also expressed his excitement to be making his Olympic debut at 36 in an episode of Inside the NBA, a few weeks ago. “I’m beyond excited,” he said, as he was thrilled at the opportunity after being a part of two World Cup teams. This could be his last chance, and even Steph knows it. “I’m 36 now and I don’t know if I’ll have another one so this is definitely the year.”

As the brother-sister duo book their tickets to Paris, fans hope they return home with Gold around their necks, making the country proud!
