FC: Steph Curry doesn’t believe we landed on the moon.

My main takeaway: Vince Carter and Kent Bazemore have a joint podcast? With some other co-host named Annie Finberg? We have reached peak oversaturation on the podcast market.
Curry OBVIOUSLY doesn’t know that Alice Kramden first went to the moon in the mid-1950s.
And Kylie Irving thinks the world is flat. Along with an unbelievable number of others
Good thing Curry has a great jump shot. Otherwise he would be working as a pizza delivery man.
Everyone knows the world isn’t flat. The satellite pictures show it’s a sphere. When you get to the equator sailing south you fall off.
Better yet, he could be the WH science advisor.
I know it's Wikipedia, but there are plenty of people who think we didn't land on the moon including, according to the article, between 6 and 20% of Americans and fully a quarter of all Brits....
Steph Curry is certainly not alone.

Steph graduated from Charlotte Catholic and attended Davidson College for 3 years.
I wonder if those schools are proud of such a dumb comment by Steph.

Wait...we landed on the moon?! No hway!
Next you’re going to tell me there’s no such thing as Santa Claus.

If moon landing denial gets you a visit to a NASA lunar lab then count me in the denial crowd.
I wonder if Curry believes that the moon is made of cheese and if so, which kind?
I'll never understand why the media and the public hang on every word by actors and pro athletes on topics they know nothing about.
Just another example of why actors and athletes are just people and should focus on what they do in their profession. They do not know more and most of the time they actually know less than someone not in the spotlight.
46% of Americans will believe pretty much anything as long as it's not true
It was all faked.
See Capricorn 1.
and we need to bring back the last president so I can keep my Doctor - they all lie.
Does he also believe the earth is flat?
Steph Curry is a prominent person, a role model for kids (and has generally been a very good one). He made a dumb comment and maybe he is generally ignorant about important events and facts. What he says can and should affect his credibility.
If your point is that athletes, actors, and other entertainment figures are often not qualified for comments on public policy, I agree with that. But Curry and others are taken seriously or at least heard on a variety of subjects. As such, it helps if they know very basic facts and it's alarming if they believe a stupid narrative.
I'll be interested to see how he handles this.
I never understood why certain people get so upset when actors and athletes have opinions. I mean, I suppose I do understand, they disagree with them and don't want them to say opinions that they disagree with. It is sort of a fragile/frail personal trait, but I guess some people are that way. Strange considering that the same thing could be said about certain reality TV stars and yet I am sure you have not one single problem with their opinion. If you don't want to hear it, don't listen.
To be clear, I don't care what they have to say, I don't watch any tabloid tv shows or read anything where their opinions are out there. But I am not outraged that they have an opinion and that if someone interviewing them, asks them for their opinion, they share it. Big deal, get over it, and stop being a baby.
That being said, obviously this is a really dumb opinion to have. And he is rightfully getting called out for his dumb opinion and made to look a fool.
Is the moon landing an opinion?
Certainly, we are all entitled to our opinions, even dumb opinions. But a total falsehood on basic facts is not the same thing.
He didn't say it didn't happen. He said he doesn't believe it happened. That's an opinion.
