‘In case anyone was wondering’: Steph Curry reveals he made just two of five full-court shots in fake viral video
Steph Curry decided to clarify how many full-court shots he took in the fake video that went viral.
The clip, shot by director Ari Fararooy, showed the Golden State Warriors superstar sinking five incredible shots from the other end of the court but the ridiculous nature of the footage led to questions about in its authenticity.
The reigning NBA champions confirmed to Dailymail.com that the video was fake on Monday and Curry has now shed light on the footage.
‘I made two of them, in case anyone was wondering,’ he said on Tuesday.
The video, posted on social media by Sport Illustrated, has divided the internet with fans undecided as to whether the clip is real.
Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry appeared to make several full-court shots in one video
The majority of social media users believed the clip was fake but others claimed that if anyone could pull off this feat it would be the four-time NBA champion.
One Tweet read: ‘But what if it’s true just goes to show you how good Steph is. This may be true. He’s that good!’
Some social media users felt that only the two-time MVP could have made the breakthrough
‘It has to be fake but if there’s one person who can do it, it’s that person,’ added another.
Another said the star was ‘so unreal’ that it was hard to decide if it was real.
Before it was confirmed to be a fake, some fans insisted that the footage was indeed real.
One praised Curry’s skills as they said: ‘Here comes another Robot in the game of sport. Guys like Dinho or Steph curry just weren’t missed.’
Before it was confirmed to be fake, some fans were adamant that the viral video was somehow real
Another added: ‘It reminds me of those old crazy Nike commercials that look real… except they aren’t. Howsoever.’
‘If it were anyone else, my call might be fake, but we’re talking about Steph here,’ another claimed. ‘Ray Allen eat your heart out.’
The basketball clip was shot by the same director who shot NFL star Tom Brady hitting a controversial hole-in-one last year.
