DAVIDSON, N.C. – Davidson's all-time leading scorer and the NBA's reigning MVP, Stephen Curry, is one of five individuals that will make up the Southern Conference Hall of Fame class for 2016, the league office announced Tuesday.
Â
Armanti Edwards (Appalachian State), Brad Faxon (Furman), Keith "Mister" Jennings (ETSU) and Karen Pelphrey (Marshall) will also be inducted later this year.
Â
"This year's group of inductees is one of the most impressive since the Hall's inaugural class of 2009," said Commissioner John Iamarino. "It features not only the current MVP of the NBA, but two other former SoCon basketball Players of the Year, one of the winningest quarterbacks in NCAA history, and a former collegiate golfer of the year who went on to win multiple PGA events. It is a remarkable group."
Â
Student-athletes who competed for a minimum of two seasons in the Southern Conference were eligible for consideration, along with coaches and administrators who spent at least five years in the league. A pool of more than 200 candidates from the conference's current and former member institutions were nominated for consideration. The pool of former student-athletes, coaches and administrators was cut down to 40 individuals, who comprised the final ballot. A voting panel of 20 media members and league administrators selected the induction class.
Â
Davidson competed in the Southern Conference for 74 years before joining the Atlantic 10 on July 1, 2014.
