Back in 2002, Powerade launched a industrial during which Michael Vick might be “seen” throwing a football clear out of a stadium. You knew it was faux. It needed to be. Editing wasn’t that nice again then. And but, for a really transient second, you really needed to entertain the chance that the video, the feat, was actual. That’s how superhuman Vick appeared on the time. That’s how robust of an arm he had. It was borderline cartoonish. 

That’s Stephen Curry these days. A really superhuman shooter seemingly able to something with a ball and a basket. Back in 2020 a video surfaced during which Curry might be seen making an absurd 105 straight corner 3-pointers on the Warriors‘ observe facility. If that was anybody else in that video, my first thought would’ve been: “that has to be fake.” But it was Curry. He’s an alien. So I believed it. 

But this newest Curry video making the social media rounds is a bridge too far. If you have not seen it but, on Sunday night time Sports Illustrated put out a video of Curry making 5 straight full-court photographs. Have a search for your self:

This is fairly convincing, I’ve to confess. Editing has definitely improved because the days of Vick chucking that ball into outer house. But there’s simply no manner. Even for Curry, that is too ridiculous. Five straight full-court heaves? They might’ve at the least tried to make it plausible. Maybe he makes two in a row. Stroking 5 straight, lifeless heart, is an excessive amount of. 

FYI, this video is from the identical magician editor, Ari Fararooy, who introduced you this:

So, yeah … do not be a sucker. But in case you fell for it, the Warriors confirmed it wasn’t actual. 

Again, it speaks to Curry’s greatness that we really needed to analysis this factor and begin discovering different faux movies that had equally yanked our chains with the intention to utterly disprove one thing that we knew, in probably the most logical corners of our mind, even earlier than the Warriors confirmed as a lot, couldn’t probably be actual. But let’s come again to earth right here. I’ll imagine absolutely anything Curry does with a basketball in his fingers, however this was a bridge too removed from the beginning.
