Steph Curry Takes Shot At The Moon After Irving Flat-Earth Controversy

Stephen Curry is well-respected and one of the NBA icons most are familiar with, meaning any claim or statement on his end will always draw attention. And for some reason, the Golden State Warriors guard threw a curious question to a host during a podcast.

Curry made a curious comment during the Winging It podcast hosted by Vince Carter and Kent Bazemore, Dan Feldman of NBC Sports reported. For some reason, the 30-year-old shooting guard said that he does not believe that humans ever landed on the moon.

It didn’t take long for Curry to add that he did not want to start a conspiracy theory. This is despite the fact that many have already claimed that man did not actually walk on the moon and that the landings were all fake, Fox News reported.

These conspiracy theories have come out time and again since man first walked on the moon on July 20, 1969 – the year when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first men ever to set foot on the lunar surface.

Curry, like other people who doubted the whole man walking on the moon story, is entitled to his own opinion. Science teachers may take exception to his claim in the discussion that took a scientific twist. Prior to this, they discussed the sounds that dinosaurs made. The whole discussion even drew film director Stanley Kubrick into the picture as someone who allegedly faked the Apollo and 12 moon landings, although there is no evidence to back this theory, San Francisco Chronicle reported.

The recent row comes a week after NASA put the InSight lander on Mars, an incredible milestone of a trip that needed 300 million miles to make. Looking ahead, NASA does have plans to hold another manned mission following a request by U.S President Donald Trump, New York Times reported.

In an effort to address Curry’s claim, NASA spokesman Allard Buetel has extended an invite to the NBA star to visit the lunar lab at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. The best time for this to happen would be when the Rockets host the Warriors. Looking at the NBA schedule, that would fall on Mar 14, 2019.

Curry’s comments somehow revived that celebrated claim of Kyrie Irving that the Earth is flat. The Boston Celtics guard did eventually retract the statement so it will be interesting if Curry will eventually do the same.

It took Irving more than a year to go back on his claims, adding that he was simply “huge into conspiracies.”
