“GOLDEN” is that one word that lit up the Golden State Warriors’ Instagram, and NBA fans knew what it meant. Just days after the 2025 ESPY nominations were released, Stephen Curry’s epic Olympic run has officially earned him a nomination for Best Championship Performance. The Warriors celebrated the news with a golden-toned post honoring their star’s legendary summer in Paris.
The rumors are true, and now confirmed by ESPN and The Hollywood Reporter. Stephen Curry, who led Team USA to its fifth Olympic gold in Paris. He is officially up for one of the most prestigious awards in sports media.
Coincidentally, LeBron James offered his own ESPYs reflection just days earlier on Mind the Game, “I always kept the main thing, the main thing… The only reason I’m invited to that piece is because I played a game of basketball… Nothing will sway me away from what I want my career to look like.” LeBron’s mindset echoed perfectly in Curry’s performance, focus, greatness, and delivering when it counts.
Whether it’s LeBron’s wisdom or Steph’s fire, this ESPYs season proves one thing: the NBA’s biggest stars still keep the main thing, the main thing.
Simone Biles, Rory McIlroy, and Freddie Freeman round out the star-studded category, with Biles even praising Curry’s nomination. Fans can vote on the official ESPYs site until the July 16 ceremony at The Dolby Theatre.
