Travelers heading to Davidson College will now encounter a significant tribute to one of its most celebrated alumni. On March 15, 2024, during a home game against Duquesne, the college officially renamed Exit 30 to the **Stephen Curry Interchange**. This change recognizes Curry’s profound impact on the institution’s men’s basketball program and celebrates his status as a sports icon.
Curry, who donned the number 30 throughout his college and professional career, attended the event wearing a Davidson sweatsuit paired with **”Carmine” Air Jordan Retro 6’s**, a nod to a famous photoshoot from his time at the college. The renaming ceremony included attendance from notable figures, including his Golden State Warriors teammates **Draymond Green**, **Moses Moody**, and **Jimmy Butler III**, who came to support their teammate during this special occasion.
In addition to the renaming, Curry has taken on a new role within the college’s athletics program. In March 2024, he was appointed as the assistant general manager for the men’s basketball team, marking a historic moment as the first active NBA player to hold such a position. This appointment underscores his commitment to fostering the next generation of athletes at Davidson.
Curry achieved national recognition while playing for the Wildcats from 2006 to 2009, leading the team to the **Elite Eight** of the 2008 NCAA tournament. During that season, he set the Division I single-season record for three-pointers made, with **162**, a record that stood until Caitlin Clark surpassed it in the 2023-24 season. Currently, Curry is having a stellar season with the Golden State Warriors, averaging **28.8 points** and **4.3 assists** per game in the ongoing **2025-26 season**.
This tribute not only marks a significant moment for Davidson College but also highlights the lasting legacy of Curry, who continues to inspire both students and athletes alike. The **Stephen Curry Interchange** will serve as a reminder of his contributions to the sport and the community, welcoming visitors to the town of Davidson in a truly memorable fashion.
