Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry sends Twitter into frenzy with crazy video

There’s been countless times where Golden State Warriors’ superstar Stephen Curry, and the game of basketball, have intertwined for unfathomable moments, but this latest stunt may have been a stretch too far for comprehension.

While rival star Anthony Davis may have stunned the NBA world with 55 points and 17 rebounds against the Washington Wizards on Sunday, it was Curry who sent social media into meltdown with an outrageous training video.

Social media was launched into debate when Golden State Warriors’ marvel Stephen Curry appeared to make five straight near-full-court heaves.

The video shows Curry draining five-straight ridiculous heaves from nearly full-court, with the feat quickly inspiring debate as many believed it too good to be true. See for yourself below.

The Warriors’ official twitter account retweeted the video with the caption ‘Steph Gonna STEPH’, while the man himself posted it on his instagram story with an eyes emoji. However, it appears it was all a ruse, with AP sports writer Janie McCauley reporting that the video isn’t real.  

Still, the fact some people believed it was possible shows the kind of reputation Curry has as the best shooter the NBA’s ever seen. The video was also cleverly edited to make the stunt look incredibly realistic, only aiding in people’s suggestion that the two-time MVP had actually pulled off the feat.

It would take a fair while in the gym just to get one of these crazy shots to drop, while two in a row, let alone five, would be the nearest thing to impossible. Curry’s work ethic continues to set the standard for many across the league, with his trainer recently stating that another current player “threw up and was done” five minutes into a workout.

Curry’s shotmaking, in-game or in the practice gym, certainly doesn’t come down to luck. His skill comes from decades of practice and some God-given talent, and only he could make multiple near-full-court shots seem plausible.
