DAVIDSON, N.C. — Steph Curry finally had his Davidson graduation ceremony Wednesday, 13 years after he left the school for the NBA. And as befitting his unique status at both the college and in the sports world, Curry had that ceremony in front of about 5,000 of his closest friends, inside the college gym he helped make famous.
“It was very overwhelming,” Curry said once the afternoon ended.
It was unusual, too. Curry was the only person getting a degree on this day — he was announced by his given name, Wardell Stephen Curry II — and later he basically served as one of the commencement speakers at his own graduation.
