Stephen Curry Reveals Truth About Viral Video That Has Everyone Losing Their Minds
The viral video showing Stephen Curry hitting five straight full-court shots after Sunday's Warriors practice is fake.
NBC News noted that the Warriors confirmed that the viral Stephen Curry video was staged several hours after it first appeared online.

"The doctored, the edited, the CGI-ed [video]," Curry told reporters.
"Nobody believes I made five in a row from 90 feet?" Curry replied after being asked about the video following the Warriors' 104-112 defeat to the Indiana Pacers Monday night at Chase Center.
Curry occasionally attempts a full-court shot at the end of his pregame warmups. Ahead of Friday's home game against the Chicago Bulls, he did, however, hit the backboard.
Many people believed the fake video to be real because Curry is known for making insane shots and has previously made trick shots.
"I will let them be the judge of that," Curry said to the press, "but it is the ultimate compliment to probably be amazed by it but not think it is outlandish that it could be real."
"But we had some fun with it," he added, stating that the Sports Illustrated team came with some heat, and he did make two of them, "just in case anybody was wondering."
"I used them all then. I didn't make any tonight," Curry said.

Ari Fararooy Created Stephen Curry Full-court Shots Viral Video
Curry stated that the footage was altered by editor Ari Fararooy, who edited videos for Tom Brady.
Shortly after, Klay Thompson commented on the response to the Stephen Curry video.
According to him, the widespread conviction that the video could be real demonstrates that Curry is "the greatest to ever shoot it."
According to Basket News, Warriors coach Steve Kerr stated that he understood it was a hoax when Curry made five consecutive shots in a row.
"I thought three in a row, he could do that. But not five in a row," the coach said.
"It was just the fact that it was Steph that made people pause and wonder if it was real. So, that's all you need to know about Steph, so pretty remarkable."
Tom Brady Claims His Hole-in-One Video Is Real, but People Think It's Fake
While people assume Stephen Curry video is real despite admitting that it was altered, Tom Brady, earlier this year, tried to sell his hole-in-one video.
Someone counts down in the video so the drone operator may take the perfect shot as soon as the golf ball flies from Brady's clubface.
A few moments later, Brady went crazy, reacting visibly to his ball going into the hole. While the celebration seemed natural, the drone footage raises serious doubts, per BroBible.
This is why you film every shot on the course…

The footage or edit is impressive, but the motion and speed of the ball before it falls into the hole are inaccurate.
This golf ball moves at least 50 miles per hour when it hits the flag and falls, but its apparent speed may have been exaggerated in post-production.
While most social media users claim the video is fake, Brady maintains that it is real.
