Many viewers questioned the veracity of that 2020 video, but it was the same journalist that confirmed this recent clip as fake who witnessed Curry doing the impossible.
Janie McCauley of AP, a sports journalist based in San Francisco, wrote about Curry's miraculous feat while covering the Warriors on the road in December 2020.
"Curry finally missed, then pumped his arms and yelled in delight," McCauley wrote.
Scoring 105 straight 3-pointers is arguably much more impressive than five consecutive full-court shots.
If Curry wanted to, he would make the fake SI video become a reality, but he has nothing to prove.
Curry is already the greatest shooter in NBA history, backed by stats, titles and plain common sense.If there is one person in the world who could actually convince people that he is capable of making five-straight full-court shots, it is Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry. A viral video of the two-time MVP drilling full-court shots was posted by Sports Illustrated, and had the NBA world debating whether or not it was real.
The editing is incredibly impressive, because without this confirmation, there is no way to truly determine that the video had been edited. The only indication was the pure impossibility of such a shooting display, but even then, Steph Curry has regularly made the impossible become possible with a basketball in his hands.
The fact that people thought such a video even could be real is a testament to how unreal Steph Curry is. There was always an element of doubt, even amongst the true believers, simply because it was something that had never been seen before. Despite that, Curry made some feel as if it was possible, and even more credit goes to all who worked on the video to make it appear that realistic.
While the fun is unfortunately ruined, it will not be long before Steph Curry does something on the basketball court that seems impossible but is indeed very real.
