"Their father, Dell Curry, will have his No. 30 jersey retired by the Hornets on March 19, and the Curry brothers have made sure they will be there. I'm looking forward to March, to show him some love, Steph Curry said on Thursday. No man embodies the Charlotte Hornets, who visit the Hornets Saturday night, quite like Dell Curry. He told ESPN that having his jersey retired is a dream come true."
"I never imagined it would happen, Dell Curry told the Associated Press. It means so much to me. I do it because it's what I love to do. The game gave me so much, the fans gave me so much and I want to stay involved just to give back what I can and make this organization what it should be."
Dell Curry's No. 30 jersey will be retired by the Charlotte Hornets on March 19. Steph and Seth Curry plan to travel to Charlotte after the Warriors play the Celtics in Boston on March 18 to attend the ceremony. Dell Curry spent ten seasons as a Hornet and has served as a television announcer for over a decade. He was part of the Hornets' original 1988 expansion team and was the last original Hornet to leave. The jersey retirement will join Bobby Phills as one of only two Hornets with jerseys raised in the Spectrum Center rafters. Dell Curry will broadcast the Warriors-Hornets game in the Bay the preceding Saturday.
