Steph Curry doesn’t believe the moon landing occured
At one time, the NBA’s tagline was: Where amazing happens.
Today, it occasionally is: Where stupidity happens.
Like when Kyrie Irving insisted the earth is flat and now with superstar Stephen Curry expressing doubt that the moon landings were real.
Curry said as much on The Ringer’s Winging It podcast, hosted by ex-Raptor Vince Carter and Hawks forward Kent Bazemore, who agreed with Curry that the U.S. has not been to the moon.
“They’re going to come get us, I don’t think so either,” Curry said. “Sorry, I don’t want to start conspiracies.”
That prompted NASA to respond this week with an offer to show Curry (and probably Carter and Bazemore) that the Americans made it to the moon in 1969.
“We’d love for Mr. Curry to tour the lunar lab at our Johnson Space Center in Houston, perhaps the next time the Warriors are in town to play the Rockets,” Allard Beutel, a NASA spokesman, told the New York Times.
“We have hundreds of pounds of moon rocks stored there, and the Apollo mission control. During his visit, he can see firsthand what we did 50 years ago, as well as what we’re doing now to go back to the
moon in the coming years, but this time to stay.”
Curry told reporters he has been hearing from several former NASA astronauts and said he plans to talk with them in the hope that “some good is going to come out of this.”
