The list of ideas for Davidson College to honor Warriors star Steph Curry has to be running low. But his alma mater found another way Tuesday afternoon, when they welcomed their assistant general manager of the university's basketball programs back on campus for the official renaming of I-77 Exit 30 to Stephen Curry Interchange. “This is my forever home,” Curry said after the new signage was unveiled, via The Charlotte Observer. “For me to be able to represent so many people that made this possible, I hope that that’s what they feel. A diploma is one thing. An elite achievement is another thing. This [sign] is another. I might be stealing the sign to take it home.”
