Curry’s accomplishment was made possible by his dedication and the support of professors, including two from Davidson, one from Stanford, and a UC Santa Cruz professor from his early days at the college.

Curry was unable to attend the school’s 185th commencement ceremony, as he is gearing up for the Western Conference finals. But still, to no surprise, Curry received a standing ovation from the crowd which included his mother who was in attendance.

“Dream Come True!! Class of 2010….aka 2022 but we got it done! Thanks to my whole village that helped me get across the finish line. Made the promise when I left and had to see it through. Official @davidsoncollege alum. Momma we made it! #greatdaytobeawildcat,” Curry wrote on Twitter.

Davidson college hopes to award Curry his degree in person at an undisclosed date.

“Now that he’s graduated, Davidson College looks forward to an opportunity on campus in the future when it will present his diploma,” the statement read.
