Stephen Curry first active player showcased by Hall of Fame

The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame will break with tradition Friday when it opens an exhibition highlighting the career ​of Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry.

No ‌other player in league history has received such an honor while still active.

The exhibition is titled 'Stephen Curry: Beyond the Arc' and takes ​a look at the four-time NBA champion and two-time ​MVP both on and off the court.

Curry's ⁠business team partnered with the Hall of Fame on ​the project.

"The exhibit is designed to explore his multifaceted legacy ​as a basketball icon, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and family man," the Hall of Fame said in a news release.

This will be the first look ​at Curry's legacy at the Hall of Fame in ​Springfield, Mass., but not the last. He is certain of being selected ‌for ⁠enshrinement into the hall as soon as he is eligible, post-retirement.

"When I think about my journey, I think about the people who believed in me, the work that happened ​when nobody was ​watching and ⁠the moments that shaped me on and off the court," said Curry, 38.

"To have that ​story told while I'm still playing is something ​I ⁠don't take lightly. My hope is that fans walk through this experience and feel the joy, the purpose and the ⁠gratitude ​that basketball has given me, and ​maybe see a little bit of their own journey in it too."

A closing ​date has not been set for the exhibition.
