Steph Curry thrilled for father Dell’s ‘special’ jersey retirement

Steph Curry is overjoyed as his father Dell's jersey number 30 is set to be retired by the Charlotte Hornets. The ceremony will take place on March 19, and Steph has confirmed that he will attend with his brother Seth. This honor marks a significant milestone in Dell's illustrious career with the team.

Dell Curry played for the Hornets from 1988 to 1998 and holds numerous franchise records, including most games played (701), two-point field goals made (3,022), and personal fouls committed (1,357). Despite not being inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, Dell's impact on the organization and the community is undeniable.

The Hornets' management has praised Dell for his professionalism, work ethic, and commitment to excellence. They have stated that he embodies what it means to be a Hornet, both as a former player and as a father figure in the league.

For Steph Curry, this moment is special because of his family's history with the franchise. His father was part of the original Hornets team in 1988 and played until 1998. He has been a respected figure in the sport, and his sons have grown up idolizing him.

In an emotional interview, Dell broke down in tears during the announcement of his jersey retirement. Steph was visibly moved by his father's reaction, saying that it was "special" to see him share some tears.

The ceremony will take place shortly after the Warriors play the Celtics in Boston on March 18, and the Curry brothers have confirmed they will attend immediately afterwards. This is a moment that Dell has been working towards for a long time, and he is truly deserving of this honor.

I mean, who else can say they hold those many franchise records? 😂 But seriously, it's awesome that Steph and Seth are going to be there with him. They're basically living proof of how talented he was on the court...I mean, have you seen their skills?! 🏀 Their family ties to the Hornets make this moment even more special - I can only imagine how nostalgic Dell must feel seeing his sons grow up idolizing him. It's not just about the basketball though; it's about the legacy and love that Dell has brought to the franchise over the years ❤️. Can't wait for March 19! 👏

🏀💖 I'm so happy to see Dell Curry's jersey number getting retired by the Charlotte Hornets! It's a well-deserved recognition of his contributions to the team and the community 🙌. As a dad himself, it's amazing how much impact he's had on the league as a player and as a role model for his sons, Steph and Seth 👨‍👦. Can't wait to see the ceremony happen on March 19 - it'll be so cool to have both Curry brothers there together 🤩! The Hornets' management is right, Dell embodies what it means to be a Hornet through and through 💚. Bring on the tears (Dell's or Steph's 😉) when they celebrate this milestone!
 
Aww, poor Dell 🤗... I can imagine how emotional it must be to see his jersey number retired 😭. It's amazing how much impact he had on the team, even if he wasn't inducted into the Hall of Fame yet 💪. And Steph being all proud and emotional about it is so sweet 😊. It's great that they'll both be there for the ceremony... I hope Dell gets to share some happy tears too 🙏. This is a special moment for his boys to learn more about their dad's legacy too 👦🏽. Can't wait to see the ceremony on March 19! 📺
 
I'm surprised it's taking them so long to retire his jersey 🤔. I mean, come on, 701 games played? That's a lot of years dedicated to the team. And all those two-pointers made? Unbelievable! But what really gets me is that he didn't even make it into the Hall of Fame 🏆. I guess some things just slip through your fingers, right?

I'm also not buying all this "commitment to excellence" nonsense 😒. It's always about the PR and how you present yourself, you know? The Hornets are just trying to spin a good story here. But hey, if it makes Steph Curry happy that his old man gets a jersey retirement ceremony, then who am I to argue? 👀
 
🏀😊 just think about it, Dell Curry played 701 games for the Hornets 🤯 that's insane! and to think Steph and Seth will be there at the ceremony March 19 🎉 his dad's jersey number 30 being retired is gonna be so emotional 🙏 i wonder how many fans he'll have in attendance tho? 🤔 should be a sold out crowd for sure 💥 did u know Dell holds numerous franchise records? 📊 three thousand two hundred and twenty-two two-point field goals made? mind blown 🤯
 
omg i'm so hyped for steph curry's dad to get his jersey retired 🙌! dell curry's legacy is everything - the man played 701 games for the hornets 🤯! it's amazing that steph is attending with his bro seth, gotta be a super emotional moment for them 💔. i love how the Hornets are praising dell for being a pro and a good influence on the community - we should all take a page from his book 📚! can't wait to see the ceremony on march 19 🎉👏
