[Global Times reporter Liu Boyang] According to reports from the New York Post, Marca and other media on August 11, after the United States defeated France to win the gold medal in the men's basketball event at the Paris Olympics on Saturday (10th) local time, the family of NBA star Stephen Curry had an argument with the police on the streets of Paris.

The New York Post said that Curry's wife Ayesha and mother Sonya were leaving the stadium after the men's basketball final and were blocked by French police when they tried to return to their car. The two sides clashed. The on-site video showed that a man acted as an interpreter between Sonya and the police, saying that the "president" was passing by and "no one is allowed to cross the road until he passes."

The New York Post mentioned that French President Emmanuel Macron watched the final live. According to the report, during the conflict between Curry's family and the police, Curry's Warriors teammate Draymond Green was also at the scene. He accused the French police, saying, "So, even if you hit the child on the head, you still can't get them out of here?"

Regarding this conflict, Marca described that due to not understanding local customs and not knowing what was happening at the time, Curry's family was "rudely warned" when they tried to enter a restricted street. The report said that as tensions escalated. "Ayesha hugged the child and cried, trying to comfort the little guy." Marca said that the 3-month-old baby suffered a minor head injury in the chaos.

However, some foreign media have different accounts of the above incident. American sports media Essentiallysports said that Curry's wife and her group were attacked by the French after the game, and Curry's youngest child was "beaten" during the process, and Green complained to the French police.

The New York Post said that Curry's family and Green attended the men's basketball final of the Paris Olympics on the 10th, where the US team defeated France 98-87. Curry played well in this game and hit 4 consecutive long shots in the final moments to help the US team secure the victory.
