Stephen Curry, who has been with the Oakland-based Warriors for his entire NBA career, has taken the time to show love to the city’s residents throughout the season. In January, he surprised 250 Oakland students with a new pair of “Under Armour’s Curry 6“ sneakers.

Now, as the Warriors prepare to end their season, Curry surprised 30 additional people who have contributed to his success with another special edition of his Curry 6 sneakers, this time emblazoned with the words, “Thank You, Oakland.”

The recipients range from team owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber to Curry’s driver Chip Varela. Additionally, his former personal security guard Ralph Walker, Oracle Arena security guard Curtis Jones and barber Yusef Wright also received the shoes.

This year, 2019, will be the Warriors last year in Oakland.
