Fans reunite Curry with lost NBA free throw champion trophy
Stephen Curry was reunited with one of his old trophies this week thanks to the efforts of a group of fans.
Ryan Channels, a memorabilia collector, shared on Twitter that he tracked down Curry's once-missing 2017-18 NBA free throw percentage champion trophy while doing a trading-card deal. He returned it to Curry on Wednesday and received a shoutout from the Golden State Warriors star afterwards.
Appreciate the help getting the hardware back ππ½

It's unclear how the trophy went missing, but according to Instagram user currycentral_30, who helped reunite the hardware with Curry, it was misplaced during the Warriors' move from Oracle Arena to Chase Center.
Curry led the NBA in free-throw percentage during the 2010-11, 2014-15, 2015-16, and 2017-18 campaigns. He finished second last season behind Warriors teammate Jordan Poole.
