There’s no denying that Stephen Curry has Hall of Fame credentials. When all is said and done, he will be enshrined among the best of the best one day.
Meanwhile, Curry will have his own exhibit at the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, per Anthony Slater of ESPN. It marks the first time that an active player will receive such an honor.
“Being part of the Basketball Hall of Fame in this way is hard to put into words,” Curry said in a release Tuesday. “When I think about my journey, I think 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. To have that story told while I’m still playing is something I don’t take lightly.”

The exhibit is entitled: “Stephen Curry: Beyond the Arc”. It will open at the Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts on Friday. The exhibit will celebrate Curry’s impactful contributions to the game. Furthermore, it will include game-worn jerseys, archival footage, and mementos from his career.
“Stephen has not only redefined how the game of basketball is played, but he has also set a blueprint for what it means to be an exemplary role model,” Hall of Fame president and CEO John Doleva said. “This is truly a historic moment for us and for basketball fans worldwide.”
Curry’s career has already put him in the company of Hall of Famers. His 3-point shooting has helped usher in a new era for the NBA, where fundamentals take precedence.
