Wilson showed off a pair of Olympic ring sunglasses for her 243,000 followers on X to see.
The two-time Las Vegas Aces champion revealed that Curry gave her the specs.
“thx @StephenCurry30 for the shades,” Wilson wrote in the post.
Fans adored the teamwork between Curry and Wilson, calling them a “GOAT” collaboration.
She took another selfie, this time with her fellow US Women’s Basketball players while on Team USA’s boat during the opening ceremony on the Seine River.
Wilson and Curry rocked red, white, and blue sportcoats for the iconic event.
Unfortunately, the two basketball stars and the rest of the world’s Olympians were hit with plenty of rain during the ceremony.
It will be Curry’s first Olympics at the age of 36 years old.
The two-time NBA MVP is leading the Team USA basketball group alongside LeBron James and Kevin Durant.
As for Wilson, she is making her second consecutive appearance in the Olympics.
The two-time WNBA MVP was interviewed by NBC’s Maria Taylor during the opening ceremony, and she was asked about the US’s task of winning their eighth straight gold medal.
“Legendary, I mean it really is. For the women that laid that foundation down for us since ’96 and before to now, surely amazing to be a part of. And I love my teammates,” Wilson said.
“”We go from competing against each other in rivals to now setting that aside and becoming teammates because we know we want to strive for gold.
“It’s going to be fun (and) we’re just out here just doing us.”
