Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry left fans in awe after a video of the two-time NBA MVP sinking multiple full-court shots went viral but it was later revealed the clip was fake.
The clip, shot by director Ari Fararooy, showed the NBA superstar making five straight massive three-pointers at the Warriors training facilities.
The four-time NBA champion launched the ball down the full length of the court before triumphantly exiting after the fifth and last one slipped through the net.

The video, which was posted to social media by Sport Illustrated, had split fans with some left in awe, while others were more dubious.
The doubtful had their suspicions confirmed after Associated Press reported the Warriors had confirmed it was not real – despite the franchise earlier sharing it to their own account with the caption, ‘Steph gonna STEPH.’
While the majority of responses to the clip slammed it as fake others claimed if anyone could make the feat possible it would be Curry.
On social media user posted: ‘But what if it is real that just shows you how good Steph is. It could be real. He’s that damn good!’
Some social media users felt only the two-time MVP could have made the feat possible
‘It has to be fake but if there was one man who could do it, it’d be that fella,’ another added.
While one claimed the star was ‘so unreal’ it made it difficult to make the decision between real and fake.
Before it was confirmed to be fake, some fans were adamant that the viral video was somehow real.
One praised Curry’s ability as they said: ‘Here is another Robot in the game of sport. Men like Dinho or Steph curry just don’t miss.’
Another added: ‘This reminds me of those old insane Nike commercials that looked real… except this is real. Somehow.’

‘If it was anyone else I might have called fake but it’s Steph we are talking about here,’ another claimed. ‘Ray Allen eat your heart out.’
The video was filmed by the same director who shot NFL star Tom Brady hitting a hole-in-one earlier this year.
The Buccaneers quarterback and seven-time NFL champion published a video of a stunning golf shot on social media in May which immediately saw skeptics among his 2.7 million followers labeling the video as ‘fake’ and ‘clickbait’.

Brady, who has been accused by his fans in the past of staging videos, is standing on the fairway in this scene, before rifling a shot towards the pin before getting it to go straight in.
‘That’s looking good,’ Brady says, as he watches his shot. ‘That’s going in. That’s in!’
The Tampa QB immediately jumps around in a disbelieving celebration but his fans found it difficult to believe, especially having watched the cinematography of the drone footage which made it appear too slick.
