NBC's Noah Eagle met the moment with an incredible call of Steph Curry's gold-clinching 3-pointer

The NBA is coming back to NBC very soon, beginning in the 2025-26 season.

And while fans can’t wait to hear Roundball Rock again, a few questions still remain about NBC’s coverage. One of them is: Who will the lead broadcast team be?

If these Summer Olympics were a tryout for the broadcasting duo of play-by-play man Noah Eagle and color commentator Dwyane Wade, they absolutely nailed it.

Throughout the men’s basketball tournament in Paris, France, fans have mostly enjoyed the calls from Eagle and Wade. In the gold medal game in particular, Eagle met the moment where Steph Curry clinched the win by swishing a 3-pointer over two French defenders.

Here’s Eagle’s “Golden Dagger” call, which felt like it became iconic almost instantly:

"THE GOLDEN DAGGER!"

NBA fans are already asking for more of Eagle and Wade:

Noah Eagle yelling “IT’S A GOLDEN DAGGER” while Steph Curry hits the most nonsensical heat-check three-pointer you’ve ever seen in Olympic crunch time is giving me energy I didn’t know I had.

Safe to say Noah Eagle and D-Wade locked up the new feature duo for NBA on NBC. They were outstanding all tournament. Added a lot to what is always a memorable watching experience.

Noah Eagle and Dwyane Wade are so great together.

DWade is tremendous at this, imo. Especially for a guy that just started doing this. Insightful, energetic, funny. I've really enjoyed what they've brought to these games.

Can we get Dwade & Noah Eagle on commentary during the NBA season. These two are legit.
