Steph Curry, who is set to make his Olympics debut in Paris on Sunday, says he understands why he was left off the Team USA roster for the 2012 London Games.
"In 2012, I didn't get picked because I wasn't on the level I needed to be," Curry told Andscape's Marc J. Spears.
Team USA went on to win a gold medal in 2012 behind a roster featuring several of Curry's current Olympic teammates, including LeBron James and Kevin Durant.
Curry and former Indiana Pacers star Danny Granger were the only players who led Team USA to gold at the 2010 FIBA World Cup but were not invited to the 2012 Olympic team, Rusty Simmons reported for SFGate.
