How Stephen Curry made NBA Hall of Fame history

On Friday, Curry will make history as the first active player to have an exhibit at the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. "Stephen Curry: Beyond the Arc" will teach viewers about the history of the sharpshooter's career through both physical and verbal aspects.

Here is the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame's official announcement about Curry's exhibit.

The exhibit will open on July 24 at the Naismith Hall of Fame and feature exclusive memorabilia, rare footage, and first-hand storytelling about Curry's legendary career as the NBA's three-point king. The exhibit is only open for a limited time, so interested fans should quickly make their way to the Hall of Fame's website to plan their future visit.

“Being part of the Basketball Hall of Fame in this way is hard to put into words,” said Stephen Curry, per an official press release. “To have that story told while I’m still playing is something I don’t take lightly. 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.”
