The NBA has a problem with conspiracy theories. Kyrie Irving has been explaining himself every week since he claimed the earth is flat after he went down a rabbit hole of watching YouTube videos. Now, Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry has proverbially stepped in it after appearing on Vince Carter and Kent Bazemore’s Winging It podcast this week.
During the podcast, Steph Curry denied that humans have ever been to the moon.
He basically flat out called the moon landing a fake and implied that it was a government conspiracy.Steph Curry went to Davidson College in North Carolina which is a really good school. It’s an institution full of intelligent students and it’s pretty damn hard to get into. Steph is an intelligent individual so for him to say this bullshit is pretty unprecedented.
During the segment, Steph asked the others “We ever been to the moon?” to which they responded “Nope.” Steph Curry then said “They’re gonna come get us. I don’t think so, either.” In that last part, saying he agrees that we haven’t been to the moon and ‘doesn’t think so’ with respect to whether or not astronauts have actually been to the moon.

NASA landed ANOTHER damn probe on Mars last week. We’ve been to the moon MANY times. These guys are trolling and they’re being called out for it. That, or they’re somehow deluded into thinking the world is some massive conspiracy theory.
Everyone on Twitter had a response to Steph Curry, a Davidson educated individual saying he doesn’t think we’ve ever been to the moon.

This person’s got the worst take so far.
that's not to say i agree with Curry, but that comparison is some false equivalence.

I think we can all agree that Steph Curry agrees to be dragged for this take from now until forever. Anytime he picks up a microphone in front of reporters they need to ask him why he is spreading misinformation to the children across America that idolize him.
