Curry on moon landing: ‘I was joking’

Stephen Curry didn’t mean it.

Curry told ESPN he was joking when he questioned on a podcast whether astronauts landed on the moon, comments that sent social media into a tizzy.

He also said he will accept NASA’s invitation to tour the lunar lab at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.

“Obviously I was joking,” Curry told ESPN. “(Then) I was silently protesting how stupid it was that people actually took that quote and made it law as, ‘Oh my God, he’s a fake-moon-landing truther,’ whatever you want to call it, yada, yada, yada. So I was silently protesting that part about it, how the story took a life of its own.

“But in terms of the reaction that I’ve gotten, I am definitely going to take (NASA) up on their offer.”

The Nets and guard Spencer Dinwiddie have agreed to a three-year contract extension worth about $34 million. The deal came a day after Dinwiddie scored a career-high 39 points, the most by any player off the bench in the NBA this season, in a victory over the 76ers. AP
