In a historic announcement today, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame has named Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry the winner of the 2025 Jerry West Award, an honor presented annually to the top shooting guard in men’s basketball.

The award, traditionally given to the best NCAA Division I men’s college shooting guard, was this year extended in a special honorary presentation recognizing Curry’s unparalleled excellence, leadership, and sustained impact on the game.

Curry, a two-time NBA MVP and four-time NBA champion, is widely credited with revolutionizing basketball with his deep shooting range and unselfish playmaking. At 37, he continues to perform at an elite level, averaging over 26 points per game this season and leading the Warriors back into championship contention.

“Stephen Curry embodies everything the Jerry West Award represents,” said John L. Doleva, President and CEO of the Basketball Hall of Fame. “His work ethic, clutch performances, and game-changing shooting have defined a generation of basketball.”

The award is named after Jerry West, the Hall of Fame guard known as “Mr. Clutch,” whose silhouette is famously immortalized in the NBA logo. West himself praised Curry in a recorded message during the announcement, calling him “the greatest shooter the game has ever seen, and one of its greatest ambassadors.”

Curry’s selection marks the first time an active NBA player has been honored in this special capacity, reflecting both his legendary career and the award committee’s desire to recognize transformative figures beyond the college ranks.

The presentation ceremony will take place this summer at the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts, where Curry is expected to deliver remarks reflecting on his journey from Davidson College standout to global icon.
