“This Man Is Not Human”- MMA Fans Debate the Authenticity of Steph Curry’s Latest Viral Trickshot Video

NBA star Stephen Curry has joined football legends, David Beckham and Ronaldinho, in dividing the internet with a viral video. During his days at LA Galaxy, Beckham shot a video where he consecutively hit three footballs into three different trash cans at a beach. Similarly, Ronaldinho aced the crossbar challenge in an advert for Nike. The authenticity of both videos was heavily contested, with several fans arguing they were fake. Now, ‘Sports Illustrated’ released a similar video of Stephen Curry doing a comparable stunt with a basketball.

Thus, the reactions to Curry’s feat were not too far removed from those that Beckham and Ronaldinho received, and this left people talking about it.
