In 2015 , Curry wore sneakers that had Deah Shaddy Barakat 's name on them ( one of the victims of the 2015 Chapel Hill shooting ) . According to his sister Suzanne , Deah Barakat was known for his " love for basketball and anything Steph Curry . " Deah 's number for his intramural basketball team at North Carolina State University was Curry 's No. 30 , and he posed for a photo that was similar to one that Curry did for GQ . Curry said that Barakat 's family " did a great job of reaching out to me and making me aware of the details of his life and personality ... It was really kind of a cool deal to be able to use the platform yesterday to honor Deah and his family ... I 'm going to send them the shoes I wore yesterday . And hopefully , they know that I 've been thinking about them . " Also in 2015 , after winning the MVP award following his impressive season , Curry donated his prize vehicle — a 2016 Kia Sorento — to the East Oakland Youth Development Center , a local non-profit organization located in the backyard of Oracle Arena
