On Thursday, Stephen Curry won his fourth NBA Finals and his first Finals MVP award, cementing his legacy in NBA history. However, that is not the only achievement Curry received this week.
In a press conference where Curry’s college coach, Bob McKillop, announced his retirement from Davidson College, athletic director Chris Clunie also announced the school will retire Curry’s number.
“August 31, 2022, we are going to celebrate Stephen Curry in three ways, because he likes threes,” Clunie said. “We’re going to have a mini graduation ceremony for him where he gets his degree, we’re going to induct him into the hall of fame, and we’re gonna not just retire his jersey, but he will be the first person to have his number retired at Davidson College.
