Draymond Green called Steph Curry a "living legend" after their game against the Hornets.

The Golden State Warriors finished off their three-game road trip with a win over the Charlotte Hornets, getting back to two games over .500 and marking their fifth win in their last six games.

Prior to the offensive explosion that catalyzed the win over the Hornets, though, some of the Warriors accompanied Steph Curry the day before in his return to his hometown, and more importantly, his appearance at his alma mater, Davidson.

Curry was honored at Davidson's game against Duquesne, and although his Wildcats were unable to pull out a win in double overtime, the Davidson legend, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, and Moses Moody all got to witness the reveal of a freeway exit in the Charlotte area being renamed to the "Stephen Curry Interchange."

Green Speaks On The Legend Of Steph Curry

In his postgame availability following the win against the Hornets, Green touched upon seeing Curry honored in that way and expressed his awe at the legend Curry has become.

"People get interstates and exchanges and exits and highways and all that stuff named after them when they die. Not when you're living. That's living legend status."

Green also mentioned how lucky he was to be able to witness that celebration and reveal in person alongside Curry.

"I wouldn't be in Charlotte, North Carolina, and miss that. The journey that we've been on together — I've watched his journey to that sign. I'm very grateful for Davidson making that happen while we're in town. I wouldn't miss a moment like that for him. What a special honor."

Green also noted how fated it was that the exit that leads to Davidson just happens to be Exit 30, thus fitting perfectly with Curry's number.

The Legend Of Steph Curry

This unique honor is another addition to the long list of milestones, achievements, and awards Curry has racked up in his illustrious career. 

He first entered the national zeitgeist while at Davidson, where he was a 2-time consensus All-American and made waves in the 2008 NCAA Tournament, averaging 34.3 points while leading the 10-seed Wildcats to the Elite 8.

Curry was drafted No. 7 overall in the 2009 NBA Draft to his forever home, the Golden State Warriors. In the 17 seasons since then, Curry has earned two MVPs, including being the only unanimous MVP in 2016, four championships, a Finals MVP, and been selected to the All-Star team 11 times.

He's cemented himself as the greatest three-point shooter of all time, blowing many of the related records out of the water, and continues to thrive even as he gets set to turn 38 in just three months.

Just as Green said, Curry is a living legend, and it doesn't look like he's slowing down any time soon.
