Steph Curry's legendary performance closing out the 2024 Paris Olympics was so impressive that the Warriors superstar immediately was subjected to a drug test following Team USA's unforgettable 98-87 win over France earlier this month.

During a seminar at Fanatics Fest, Durant and Edwards sat down for a conversation on the "Boardroom," detailing their strange experience following the Americans' emphatic victory that saw the trio of NBA stars each get drug tested.

"After the gold medal, me and him [Durant] had a, what you call it? A drug test," Edwards said. "We couldn't really celebrate in the locker room for real because me, him and Steph had to take like a drug test or something."

Curry torched France with four 3-pointers in the final three minutes of regulation, stamping Team USA's gold medal bid and securing his own Olympic immortality in the process.

Curry's epic Olympics finale was preceded by an incredible 36-point performance against Serbia to keep the Americans' gold-medal dreams alive, with the star point guard's legendary back-to-back showings being so impressive that they apparently warranted a drug screening.
