A month ago, the Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry received his degree and was officially inducted into Davidson College’s Hall of Fame. And now his longtime teammate, Draymond Green has also been inducted into the Michigan State Hall of Fame. And the $160 million star welcomed his teammate to the club with a three-word message.

Curry went back to Davidson College to finish his remaining classes and earn his degree. He had a solo graduation ceremony and his number was also raised to the rafters. Curry was drafted by the Warriors in 2009 and he still had to finish a few classes to get his degree. And he did so this off-season.
