The things Stephen Curry can do are incredible, even for legends.

The Golden State Warriors superstar has long since established himself as the greatest shooter of all time, so his impressive Olympic performance should come as no surprise to anyone.

In the semifinal game against Serbia, Curry scored 36 points, the second most in U.S. Olympic history, while hitting nine 3-pointers to lead a 13-point comeback in the fourth quarter.

Facing host nation France in the gold medal game, Curry hit each of his final four three-pointers in the final minutes to secure the United States its gold medal.

“I'm not easily impressed, but wow, that's all I can say,” Penny Hardaway told Fox News Digital at Friday's Fanatics Fest. “Those last four threes were unbelievable.”

Teammate and Orlando Magic legend Tracy McGrady said he didn't get to see Curry's performance live, but wasn't surprised when he saw the highlights.

“He's the best shooter we've ever seen. I'm not surprised he shoots the ball and makes the shots he made,” McGrady said. “That's what he does.”

Curry's performance helped the Americans capture their fourth consecutive gold medal in their first Olympics.

Curry will soon become the first player in NBA history with 4,000 three-pointers, a mark he has a good chance of reaching this upcoming season. He has 3,747, which would put him more than 1,000 three-pointers ahead of Ray Allen, who is in second place.
