SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Better late than never, right?
After leaving school early to enter the 2009 NBA Draft, Stephen Curry completed his final semester at Davidson College and is officially a college graduate, the Golden State Warriors announced on Sunday. He will receive a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Sociology.
Curry, 34, first enrolled at Davidson in 2006 and was expected to graduate in 2010. The two-time NBA MVP graduated twelve years later than expected but is still excited about the accomplishment.

A Twitter photo of the list of graduates on the commencement program shows Curry’s name as “Wardell Stephen Curry II.” The 8-time All-Star did not graduate with honors, and some jokes poured in the replies.
Curry isn’t the only Warrior set to receive a bachelor’s degree this spring. Guard Gary Payton II is set to finish his last semester at Oregon State. Payton II played two seasons at Oregon State from from 2014-16, according to Basketball-Reference.
With the Warriors clinching a spot in the Western Conference Finals on Friday, Curry had a few days off from playing a playoff game to celebrate the accomplishment. The Warriors await the winner of the Dallas Mavericks-Phoenix Suns series as Game 1 is scheduled for Wednesday.
Since leaving Davidson in 2009 and entering the NBA, Curry has won three NBA championships, two scoring titles, and made seven All-NBA teams.
Thanks to a Davidson basketball game, Curry said his first time in the Bay Area was in 2009. He stayed a Marriot hotel in Walnut Creek as Davidson took on the Saint Mary’s College Gaels in nearby Moraga.
