Stephen Curry had a great 2022 season. Not only did he win his 4th NBA title but was named Finals MVP in the process. He won both inaugural MVP awards, the All-Star MVP award – named after late Kobe Bryant and Western Conference finals MVP award – named after Magic Johnson. But his MVP season continued as he received yet another honor on September 1st.
Curry was awarded the key to the city of Charlotte in a ceremony that took place at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center. Curry has close ties with Charlotte since living there for years, having also graduated from Charlotte Christian School.
Overwhelmed by the honor, Curry spoke of his ties with Charlotte. He said, “Charlotte is in my blood. It’s in my DNA. I’m so proud. When anybody asks, ‘Where are you from?’ I wasn’t born here, but I am from Charlotte. Best 21 years of my life — spent it here, and I carry it with me everywhere I go.”
Steph Curry didn’t stop there as he reveal the team that he would consider playing for if wasn’t at the Golden State Warriors, to surprise the Hornets fans. He said, “I’ve always said I wanted to finish my career at Golden State because of how much it means to me and the experiences and teammates and the journey that we’ve been on.”
Clearing the air before any speculations starts, Steph quickly added, “Everybody asks me, ‘You wanna play one year for the Hornets and come back?’ … I am not breaking any news right now. I’m not making any promises. All I would say though is if there was a team that I did want to play for that was not named the Warriors, that would be it.”
Dell Curry, Steph’s father, played for Charlotte for 10 years, when young Curry was just making his debut in the world. And then the association continued for 21 more years as Steph said in his comments.
