The annual Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year Awards took place on Thursday night in San Francisco to honor SI’s choices for the most impactful figures in sports in 2022.
Warriors guard Stephen Curry was named SI’s 2022 Sportsperson of the Year on the heels of his fourth championship with Golden State in the last in eight years. Within the last year, he also graduated from Davidson College, broadened his charitable reach, supplied financial support for the men’s and women’s golf teams at Howard University and started the Underrated Golf Tour.
“So many amazing men and women from all worlds of sports that changed their game, their world and changed it ways that will live on forever,” Curry said in his acceptance speech.
