Stephen Curry still maintains a strong interest in Davidson.
Earlier this year, Curry made a historic investment in his alma mater . He took on the role of assistant general manager of the basketball programs, making him the first active pro athlete to obtain an NCAA administrative role.

Curry still holds the school record for the most three pointers in a season with 162 during the 2007-2008 season.
