An elusive Finals MVP award. A long-awaited college degree. Continued charitable works. Curry accomplished it all—and more—in 2022, reminding the world how to ...
McKillop teases Curry about running for office someday, but Ayesha says she can’t imagine that, “because I know that he doesn’t want to.” With his not-about-me manner and perpetual need to see the best in those who disagree with him, Curry is not a politician. His charity work is mostly an attempt to give people the same kind of life that he enjoys. He was like a college kid playing in the NCAA tournament—studying, traveling and trying to win a championship. “I think the traditional opinion is [that] a guy who runs the fastest and jumps the highest is the best athlete,” Kerr says. The next day, he got to 13 and hit his drive in the fairway again. Jason Richards, who was two years ahead of Curry at Davidson, tells anybody who asks that Curry is a better person than a player, but casually refers to him as “the kid.” It all disguises what Kerr says is the truth about Curry: “He’s one of the great athletes in the world.” He calls it his “greatest moment,” and even this modest brag is so unlike Curry that his wife, Ayesha, says, “Really—he said that?” At the Warriors’ afterparty, in a club underneath TD Garden, Ayesha said, “I’m so proud of you! He says: “Empathy is a great word that you try to embody through the good times and hard times. He reminds us that stardom is not a license to be a jerk, and being a jerk is not a prerequisite for stardom. Stephen Curry walked to the bench lugging a superstar’s dilemma: He had played poorly, but his team was going to win. It didn’t bother me that it wasn’t on my résumé yet.” The idea that he is lacking something is foreign to him.
It's nothing new to see Stephen Curry highlights go viral. But his latest clip sparked debates on whether or not it was even humanly possible.
The Sports Illustrated team coming with some heat.” There’s probably no other played that would’ve had a shred of credibility enough to cast doubt on such a video like Stephen Curry. After all, if there was anyone who could do something borderline impossible, it’ll be the greatest shooter of all-time.

Plus, he actually did the thing and the only fake was his name for the day. This prank earns the top spot for the high stakes execution. James gets points for originality and ingenuity (who was making fake viral videos in 2003).

The Detroit Pistons have watched several of their ex players blow up this season from behind the arc, which makes you wonder what is happening in Detroit.
I thought all of these guys would thrive, but the fact that three of them are shooting nearly 50 percent from 3-point range is a surprise. Grant is firing 6.1 long-range attempts per game, highest of his career and has to be in the running for the All-Star game the way he is playing. Olynyk’s time with the Pistons was marred by injuries, as he only played 40 games for Detroit last season and shot 33.6 percent from 3-point range, the worst of his career. They are much more efficient in their roles and have stars around them, so it makes sense. Bruce Brown is currently 45th in the league in 3-point percentage overall. [Jerami Grant](https://www.nba.com/player/203924/jerami-grant) was a very good player and there was lengthy debate about whether the Detroit Pistons should have kept him around.

Stephen Curry joins an elite cast of athletes who have been named Sportsperson of the Year more than once.
Curry will be presented the award Thursday during a gala at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco. He’s a top-five scorer in the league through seven weeks, leads the NBA in 3s by a longshot and the second-best rebounder for the Warriors through 25 games. He also notably made a seven-figure donation to fund the Howard University men’s and women’s golf programs in 2019. The Curry nonprofit, founded in 2019, aims to combat food insecurity, encourage childhood literacy and create safe places for kids to be active throughout the Bay Area. The two-time league MVP led the Warriors back to the NBA Finals after two straight trips to the lottery. Curry was stellar on both ends of the floor during the series, which included a masterful 43-point effort in Game 4.

The season culminated in the Warriors’ first championship since 2018, led by Curry’s brilliance which earned him his first NBA Finals MVP award. Nearly 13 years after leaving Davidson College to enter the NBA, Curry completed his degree and was honored with a one-man graduation ceremony in August. Past winners include Tom Brady (2021, 2005), Megan Rapinoe (2019), Lebron James (2020, 2016, 2012) and Serena Williams (2015).
Golden State Warriors superstar, Stephen Curry, was named Sports Illustrated's sports person of the year.
In February, he was named MVP of the NBA All-star game, he was named to the All-NBA second team and won the first ever Magic Johnson Western Conference finals MVP Award. He reminds us that stardom is not a license to be a jerk, and being a jerk is not a prerequisite for stardom. [He graduated from Davidson](https://www.ktvu.com/video/1112845), 13 years after he left for the NBA following his junior season. He has also provided seed funding for men’s and women’s golf teams at Howard University, a historically Black school, and started the Underrated Golf Tour, a junior circuit designed to make the game more inclusive. In June, he was named NBA Finals MVP after leading the Warriors to a fourth title in eight years. In 2018, Curry and the entire Warriors team
