Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry walked back his moon-walk skepticism, saying he was joking when he suggested the lunar landings were a hoax. "Obviously, I was joking when I was talking on the podcast," Curry told ESPN on Wednesday, after his causal comments on the "Winging It" podcast sparked stratospheric reactions.

"I was silently protesting how stupid it was that people took that quote and made it law as, 'Oh my God, he's a fake-moon-landing truther' whatever you want to call it, yada, yada, yada," Curry said.
