World No. 1 Jordan Spieth not only wants to win an Olympic Games gold medal but wants to meet NBA Legend ‘Step’ Curry who’ll be on the USA Olympic Basketball side.

Curry plays for the Golden State Warriors and is considered by some to be the greatest shooter in NBA history.  Curry won the 2015 NBA Most Valuable Player(MVP) award and is a two-time NBA All-Star.

World No. 1 Jordan Spieth wants to sit down and chat with NBA No. 1 Step Curry during this year’s Summer Olympics

“There’s many who I would love to talk to but to name one would be hard then I’d like to sit down with Steph Curry,” said Spieth.

And also quizzed today if he would rather win a gold medal in Rio or another major title, Spieth initially said “Both” before adding: “That’s a question that really only would get me in trouble to actually answer.

“To be honest, I don’t know. It’s unsure and it will be I think unsure for 10 to 20 years how significant a gold medal will be in golf.

“For me, the way I look at it right now, I look at them equal. It’s very early to tell how they will end up comparing to major championships in the future.

“If I had not won a major, I would probably still say a major (over a medal). At this point I would argue that a gold medal would be very, very special.”

Speaking ahead of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, McIlroy had no hesitation in preferring a fifth major title to an Olympic medal, adding: “I think a major championship is the pinnacle of our sport. I think I’ll be remembered for my major championships.

“All I’ve dreamed of from a little kid is winning majors. I never dreamed of competing in the Olympics or winning an Olympic medal. So in my mind, a major will always be more important.”

Perhaps the Northern Irishman should take a leaf out of Spieth’s book.

“If you won a gold medal for your country in the Olympics, some day you could go ahead and lie and say it was for triathlon or whatever and seem like a real athlete,” Spieth joked.
