Steph Curry Makes History With New Exhibit in Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame

Stephen Curry has accomplished nearly everything imaginable during his legendary NBA career, and now he has reached another milestone unlike any before him. The Golden State Warriors superstar has become the first active player to receive a dedicated exhibit at the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.

The Hall of Fame announced that its newest immersive experience, "Stephen Curry: Beyond the Arc," will officially open July 24 in Springfield, Massachusetts. The exhibit marks the first time in the institution's nearly 75-year history that an active NBA player has been honored with a permanent featured experience.

While Hall of Fame recognition is typically reserved for retired players, Curry's impact on basketball has been so transformative that the museum chose to celebrate his legacy while he continues to add to it.

Few players have reshaped the NBA like Curry. Since being selected seventh overall by the Warriors in the 2009 NBA Draft, the Davidson product has revolutionized the game with his unmatched long-range shooting and offensive creativity.

The 12-time All-Star owns one of the most decorated résumés in league history. Curry is a four-time NBA champion, two-time league MVP, NBA Finals MVP, Western Conference Finals MVP, two-time scoring champion and Olympic gold medalist.

He was also named to the NBA's 75th Anniversary Team, recognizing him as one of the greatest players the sport has ever seen.

Across 17 NBA seasons entering 2026-27, Curry has averaged 24.8 points, 6.3 assists and 4.7 rebounds while shooting 47.1% from the field, 42.2% from 3-point range and 91.2% from the free-throw line.

Widely regarded as the greatest shooter in basketball history, he has permanently changed how teams build offenses and how young players approach the game.

Developed in partnership with Curry's Thirty Ink business team, "Stephen Curry: Beyond the Arc" expands on the Hall of Fame's popular "The Vault" gallery by showcasing not only his basketball accomplishments but also his work as an entrepreneur, philanthropist and family man.

Visitors will experience rare game-worn jerseys, championship memorabilia, Olympic artifacts, archival footage and interactive audio and video presentations chronicling Curry's journey from an overlooked college prospect to one of the NBA's biggest global stars.

Curry called the honor one of the most meaningful moments of his career.

"Being part of the Basketball Hall of Fame in this way is hard to put into words," Curry said. "My hope is that fans walk through this experience and feel the joy, the purpose and the gratitude that basketball has given me, and maybe see a little bit of their own journey in it too."

Although his Hall of Fame induction will eventually come after retirement, Curry has already left an undeniable mark on the game.

By honoring an active player for the first time in its history, the Basketball Hall of Fame is acknowledging that his legacy extends well beyond championships and records—it changed basketball forever.
