We have controversy in the world of NBA trick shots.
Last week, a video of Stephen Curry hitting an absolutely wild shot during pregame warmups went viral. The video showed Curry making one of his patented "tunnel shots" where he heaves a ball from the tunnel toward the opposite basket. In this version, he made it and jogged off.
Or so we thought.
That video is below.
look at this tunnel shot 🤯 steph is not human at ALL

Well, several days later we have a new angle of the shot and it appears Curry didn't actually make it. He did kick the net up like a swish, but it turns out that's because he was short.
Video of the new angle is below.
We have been hoodwinked, bamboozled, led astray, run amok and flat out deceived pic.twitter.com/CZLY8GxJpu https://t.co/qxAw8zln2x

We should all feel robbed.
In fairness, Curry has made plenty of these before, so it's not shocking everyone just assumed he hit it.
