Stephen Curry renamed the Davidson Interstate after him
Before he put Golden State Warriors on the map, Stephen Curry did it first at Davidson College. From 2006 to 2009, he rose to prominence with his trademark three-point shooting that helped lead Davidson to the Elite Eight in 2008 and became the NCAA scoring champion in 2009.
As a result, his alma mater went out of its way to recognize him. On Tuesday, Kari made his return Davidson to commemorate the interstate named in his honor, according to Davidson Men’s Basketball.
Exit 30 on 1-77 is now and forever called the “Stephen Curry Interchange”. He also saw the Wildcats lose to the Duquesne Dukes 89-83.

It will now be called: “Stephen Curry Interchange” 🤩

Meanwhile, the Warriors are 17-16 and lost to the Brooklyn Nets 120-1017 on Monday. Curry scored a total of 27 points and had five assists. In addition, he made five three-pointers. Curry is averaging 28.8 points and 4.3 assists per game.
Despite all he accomplished in his NBA career, it was at this small college in Davidson, North Carolina, that the nation first saw the son of former NBA player Del Curry blossom.
Stephen Curry still has a strong interest in Davidson.
Earlier this year, Curry made a historic investment in his alma mater. He assumed the role of assistant general manager of basketball programs, becoming the first active professional athlete to hold an NCAA administrative role.
And it doesn’t stop there. He joined forces with fellow Davidson alum Matt Berman to establish the Curry-Berman NIL Fund, which provides NIL opportunities to members of the men’s and women’s basketball teams.
Curry still holds the school record for most 3-pointers made in a season with 162 in 2007-2008.
