In 2018, Stephen Curry made light of the false lunar landing during a podcast.
Curry received a "stern" email from former president Barack Obama expressing his disapproval of Curry's remarks.
Curry took a number of steps to address the issue and declare his belief that people had set foot on the moon at Obama's request.Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors needed to learn a lesson on influence from former US President Barack Obama.
Curry was reprimanded by Obama in 2018 for saying on a podcast that the moon landing was a hoax, according to Matt Sullivan of Rolling Stone.
Curry questioned if humans had ever visited the moon on the "Wingin It" podcast in 2018, along with NBA stars Vince Carter, Kent Bazemore, and Andre Iguodala. Curry agreed when the other players expressed their skepticism and said, "I don't think so, either."
The remarks drew outrage, and NASA even issued a statement in which it provided Curry with proof that people had visited the moon.
Curry revealed to Sullivan that Obama sent him a "stern" and "direct" email, chastising the star point guard for using his platform carelessly. Obama asserted that humans had visited the moon and urged Curry to take action to make things right.
Curry eventually issued a statement clarifying that he was joking. Additionally, he hosted a 15-minute educational live session with an astronaut on Instagram. Additionally, Curry had special edition Under Armour sneakers with a space theme produced, which he later auctioned off to benefit STEM initiatives in the Bay Area. They made sales.Curry and Obama are close friends, so Curry didn't find the gravity of Obama's message offensive.
You won't believe what the aliens look like, Obama told Curry while they were playing golf, according to Sullivan, who claims that Obama has even made jokes about top-secret information that presidents have access to.
