What a year it has been for Stephen Curry. The human catapult enchanted the NBA universe last season as he led the Golden State Warriors to the ultimate silverware. He spearheaded them to their fourth title in eight years, solidifying his legacy. While painting the Dub Nation in gold, he also eclipsed Ray Allen’s record for the most career three-pointers made.
Despite the NBA season coming to a close, Curry has continued winning. The two-time MVP has been showcasing his swing on the golf course on occasion. In addition to that, he even completed his college degree and was honored by Davidson earlier this month with a mini-graduation, hall of fame induction, and jersey retirement.
