It was a special day for Stephen Curry as he graduated from Davidson College, got inducted into the college’s Hall of Fame, had his jersey number retired – and was congratulated by the King.
The Golden State Warriors superstar donned the cap and gown as he attended a one-man graduation ceremony at his alma mater in North Carolina last month.
Stephen Curry attended the Davidson College from 2006 to 2009, a spell where he turned out for the Davidson Wildcats – his impressive performances for the Wildcats earned him a selection in the 2009 NBA draft.
Since then, Curry has had an incredible career playing for the Golden State Warriors for 13 seasons in the NBA, a stint where he won four NBA Championships, two regular season MVPs as well as a Finals’ MVP – the last season of which was arguably his best ever for the franchise.
After a season that was arguably the best in his career where he won the NBA Championship, the Finals’ MVP, the All-Star MVP besides breaking the all-time three pointer record, the day of the ceremony was a special day indeed.
Curry got heavily congratulated for his feat by different NBA personalities, the biggest of them being none other than the one and only LeBron James.
What did LeBron do at Curry’s graduation ceremony?
The Los Angeles Lakers star and one of the greatest players in NBA history congratulated Curry after his graduation ceremony, showing a gesture of respect towards his fellow NBA superstar.
James reposted the clip of Curry being inducted into the Davidson Hall of Fame and being the first alumnus ever to have his jersey retired by the college on his Instagram story – accompanied with the caption “AMAZING!!! CONGRATULATIONS @StephCurry30!! MAJOR BRO”
One of the most respectful personalities in the game, the gesture shows that LeBron never backs down from showing respect when needed.
It will certainly be an incredible occasion if two of the best collide in the upcoming season’s Finals – as the superstars fight to win their fifth NBA Championship.
