Stephen Curry Becomes First Active Player Honored with Dedicated Hall of Fame Exhibit

The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, which has operated for nearly 75 years, is launching its first exhibit devoted to a player who is still active in the NBA. The exhibit, titled “Stephen Curry: Beyond the Arc,” will open to the public this weekend in Springfield, Massachusetts. It will showcase Olympic and championship memorabilia, game-worn gear, and archival footage tracing Curry’s rise from an unheralded prospect to a four-time NBA champion.
