For the first time in its nearly 75-year history, the Basketball Hall of Fame is dedicating a feature exhibit to an active NBA player, Golden State Warriors franchise star Steph Curry.
The “Stephen Curry: Beyond the Arc” exhibit is set to open on Friday, July 24, in Springfield, Massachusetts, and is expected to run through the summer of 2027.
Created alongside Curry’s own business team, Thirty Ink, the exhibit goes beyond his resume on the court to explore his legacy as a businessman, family man, and philanthropist — complete with rare game-worn gear, championship artifacts, Olympic memorabilia, and archival footage tracking his climb from overlooked prospect to global icon.
Curry spoke about what the honor means to him. “Being part of the Basketball Hall of Fame in this way is hard to put into words,” he said in an official release, adding that he thinks about “the people who believed in me, the work that happened when nobody was watching, and the moments that shaped me on and off the court.”
Curry also noted how meaningful it is that this is happening in the middle of his career, calling it something “I don’t take lightly.”

Curry is a 12-time All-Star and 11-time All-NBA selection with four NBA championships, two league MVPs, two scoring titles, a Finals MVP, and a spot on the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team. He’s the league’s all-time leader in 3-pointers made, and by a wide margin — Curry has knocked down 4,248 career 3-pointers, with the next closest, James Harden, sitting at 3,390.
On paper, he’s one of the most accomplished basketball players of all time. But it’s his influence on the game that’s truly made him such an icon. His shooting, and the way the Warriors built one of the league’s most successful dynasties around it, helped push the entire NBA toward the 3-point-heavy style it plays today.
When Curry came into the league, guards were typically either short and athletic or big and bruising, and it was rare to find any big men who could shoot from beyond the arc. Now, you’ve got 7-footers like Victor Wembanyama and Karl-Anthony Towns who can stretch the floor, and anybody under 6-foot-5 basically has to have that skill in their arsenal to have any sort of future in the NBA. Curry did that.
What’s crazy is that even at 38 years old, he’s still playing at a high level. Last season, Curry averaged 26.6 points, 4.7 assists, and 3.6 rebounds per game, shooting 47% from the field, 39% from long range, and 92% from the free throw line.
Heading into the 2026-27 season, Curry has shown no signs of slowing down, and the Warriors remain legitimate threats in the Western Conference. There’s also the potential Curry could team up with LeBron James next season, putting two future Hall of Famers on the same court as they both chase one last ring together.
