Darrell Davis: Curry’s remarks were over the moon

Ha-ha, Steph Curry. Very funny!

Those off-the-cuff remarks on a podcast about doubting the authenticity of moon landings? Well, they caught everyone’s attention. Even obscure podcasts can turn into big news in today’s social media landscape, so the jaw-dropping feedback included an invitation from NASA to tour its facility in Houston, where the artifacts of real moon landings are stored. NASA has proof that men have been on the moon.

Curry is among the top players in the NBA, a wonderful personality on the reigning champions from Golden State. When he speaks, people listen, even when saying something facetious. Even when talking about an unfamiliar subject.

Curry admits he was joking, trying to prove a point that people — especially children — shouldn’t automatically believe what they hear from someone with a high profile. It’s a worthwhile point and there might have been a different way of making it. But it did get some attention. And Curry is planning to visit NASA.
