The NBA players use their platform to advocate for social rights and issues that are close to them. But they are also susceptible to making some questionable sometimes. Even the great Stephen Curry once make a bizarre statement about the moon landing, which caused NASA to invite him to one of their camps.

Back in 2018, when the Golden State Warriors were chasing their second title in a row, Curry went on a podcast with his teammate Andre Iguodala. And his comments on the show left viewers and fans stunned. Curry was talking about basketball, life outside of basketball, and other stuff, but he somehow ended on the moon landing topic.

Curry asked the group, “If we’ve ever been to the moon,” and he got a unanimous ‘No’ from them. He added, “They gonna come get us. I don’t think so either. Sorry, I don’t want to start any conspiracies.”
