Wow, he did it, a finish in 2022... Stephen Curry is now officially a college grad after starting the process back in 2006... 
He's not the only one, there are many that continue on with their education even though they've "made it big" in the NBA or another sport.  
Apparently, he majored in Sociology...back in the day, when I started, I had 5 different double majors I was interested in.
What are your majors/subjects you liked in college?  I took so many random courses, I changed majors so many times...

Nice. Thanks for the useful trivia. LOL. My son is obsessed with the NBA and is a fan of Steph Curry. Fun facts that I can use…. My son was born in 2006 and I majored in Sociology. I hope somewhere in all that is a message about the importance of education. Wink
