SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) \u2014 Stephen Curry is headed to the Hall of Fame, making more basketball history with a first-of-its-kind exhibit for an active player.<\/p>\n

\u201cStephen Curry: Beyond the Arc\u201d is set to open Friday, celebrating the career of a two-time MVP and the NBA\u2019s career leader in 3-pointers.<\/p>\n

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced the exhibit Tuesday, saying it was the first time in the museum\u2019s nearly 75-year history that an active player would have a dedicated feature experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen 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. To have that story told while I\u2019m still playing is something I don\u2019t take lightly,\u201d Curry said in a statement. \u201cMy 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Developed in partnership with Curry\u2019s Thirty Ink business team, the exhibit will feature video footage of Curry\u2019s career, memorabilia and audio and video components that tell the story of a player who was overlooked going into college and has gone on to become a 12-time All-Star who led the Golden State Warriors to four NBA championships.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor him to become the first active player to have an exhibit in the Basketball Hall of Fame is a testament to what he represents to the game, to the Warriors, to the NBA and to his millions of fans around the world,\u201d Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy said. \u201cObviously, this is only a prelude to his eventual induction in Springfield, but a fitting tribute to an iconic player and an amazing human being who has single-handedly changed the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hall of Fame expects Curry\u2019s to be a limited-time exhibit, likely to last through the summer of 2027 before closing.<\/p>\n
