Steph Curry: The Moon Landing Never Happened
In the latest installment of NBA players say the darnest things, Steph Curry is expressing some healthy public skepticism regarding the moon landing.
Make that alleged moon landing.
The Golden State decorated marksman certainly believes in his own long range moon shots, but not such the whole humans walking on the moon deal.
Curry recently appeared on a podcast when the subject somehow turned toward our solar system.
Steph then proceeded to call shenanigans on this historic event, apparently forgetting that people were listening and that some of these people are unhinged enough to take his shit seriously.
Of course, this calls to mind Kyrie Irving and his flat earth truther movement, which unleashed a tidal wave of stupidity far and wide.
And predictably, the Internet is goofing on Steph every bit as much as they did with Kyrie.

That's some quality moon-themed humor.
Perhaps the two-time NBA MVP should lay off the Tang for a while.
Steph even had to take some shit from the Kings when the Warriors visited Sacramento on Friday night.
.@SacramentoKings really trolled @StephenCurry30 with video of the moon landing last night 💀 #SacramentoProud

While the Warriors did win the battle on the court, the Kings' social media department clearly won the trolling war.
Anyhoo, Curry played it off as a joke and even live-streamed a conversation with retired astronaut Scott Kelly, a man who has actually been to space a number of times.
Part of @StephenCurry30's conversation with retired astronaut Scott Kelly: "What happens is when people believe those things, they believe the other things that are more important, like climate change not being real and vaccines and 9/11 being a government conspiracy theory." pic.twitter.com/fOhst05e1w
