‘Just in case anyone was wondering’: Steph Curry reveals he only took two of the five full court shots in a fake viral video
Steph Curry has decided to clarify how many shots he took in court in the fake video that went viral.
The clip, recorded by director Ari Fararooy, showed the Golden State Warriors superstar sinking five incredible shots from across the court, but the ridiculous nature of the footage led to doubts about its authenticity.
The reigning NBA champion has confirmed to that Monday’s video was fake and now Curry has shed some light.
“I made two of them though, just in case anyone was wondering,” he said Tuesday.
The video, posted by Sport Illustrated on social media, split the internet with fans unsure if the clip was real.

The majority of social media users believed the clip was fake, but others claimed if anyone could pull off the feat, it would be the four-time NBA champion.
One tweet read: “But what if it’s real which just shows you how good Steph is? It could be real He’s so damn good!’
Some social media users felt that only the two-time MVP could have made the feat possible
“It has to be fake but if there was a man who could do it it would be this guy,” added another.
Another claimed the star was “so unreal” that it was difficult to decide if it was real.
Before it was confirmed to be fake, some fans were adamant the footage was actually real.
One praised Curry’s skills as they said: “Here’s another robot in the sports game. Men like Dinho or Steph Curry just don’t miss out.”
