Stephen Curry’s basketball legacy grows by the day.
The future Naismith Hall of Famer was honored by his alma mater, Davidson College, by renaming a highway exit after him. What was long known as Exit 30 to Davidson College is officially recognized as Stephen Curry Interchange.
The moment is another example of how the school’s most decorated athlete remains adored by the place he helped put on the map. In September 2022, Curry became Davidson’s first athlete to have his jersey retired, when his No. 30 was raised to the rafters.
A homecoming to remember

Before Curry became a two-time regular-season NBA MVP, with four championships and a finals MVP to his name, he dazzled the college landscape with his masterful scoring and 3-point marksmanship.
Drafted ninth by the Golden State Warriors, Curry is Davidson’s all-time leader in points scored (2,635) and 3-pointers made (414) while remaining responsible for two of the highest-scoring seasons in school history. In 2008, Curry led Davidson to a magical run through the NCAA Tournament, ending with a loss in the Elite Eight to the eventual champion Kansas Jayhawks. Curry averaged 32.0 points, 3.5 assists and 3.3 steals in four games during that run. He made 23 3-pointers while shooting 44.2 percent from deep. Curry remains the only player to record at least 40 points, five 3-pointers and five steals in a single NCAA Tournament game.
During the 2008-09 season, he led all D-I scorers with a school-record 28.6 points per game and led Davidson to the No. 20 spot in the AP Poll, which remains the school’s best ranking since the 1969-70 season. His 30 career games with at least 30 points are more than the two next-closest Wildcats on the list (Jack Gibbs, 28, Peyton Aldridge, 10).
Since leaving Davidson, Curry has honed a legacy as one of the 75 best players in NBA history and as the greatest shooter the sport has ever seen. His 4,172 career 3-pointers as a pro are almost 1,000 more than second-place James Harden. He recently passed Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett (26,071 career points) for 21st on the league’s all-time scoring list and is next eyeing John Havlicek (26,395) to notch a top-20 spot.
At 37 years old, Curry remains one of the game’s most potent scorers despite the Warriors’ wading around .500 for much of the season. His 28.8 points per game are on pace for his fourth-highest scoring average in 17 seasons in the NBA. Although he’s shooting “only 39.0 percent” on 3-pointers, he still leads all players with 4.8 such makes per game.
