Katt Williams Claims Influence Over Steph Curry’s Legendary Shooting Skills

Katt Williams is once again trending on social media after a podcast clip from the 2024 Vulture Festival in November resurfaced. In this engaging video, Katt asserts that he was the one who encouraged Steph Curry to start taking deep 3-pointers even before he entered the NBA. This assertion has sparked widespread discussion and debate across various platforms.

“Anyone who knows me understands that I don’t claim things I haven’t done. That’s not how I operate. It’s about doing what needs to be done and letting it speak for itself. However, I stand by my assertion that I am responsible for the greatest shooter in the NBA, without a doubt!” Katt confidently stated during the podcast interview.

The ‘Friday After Next’ star supported his claim with a captivating 30-second narrative shared at Vulture Fest. He recounted how he met Steph Curry before his NBA debut while hiring him for a celebrity basketball game aimed at benefiting children and family services in Los Angeles. Katt shared how he convinced Curry to join the team and even went as far as to pay him $5,000 to participate. At that time, Curry was relatively unknown, but once he hit the court, he began shooting from distances that left everyone astonished, launching shots from beyond half court and effortlessly nailing them from the 3-point line.

“The following year, during the next game, he scored an impressive 50 points. I told him, ‘Dude, you’re out here making $5,000 for a celebrity basketball game, yet you’re one of the greatest shooters to ever live. Do you realize that if you take your skills to the NBA, they might have to change the game because you could be the greatest shooter ever?’” Katt elaborated on his pivotal advice to Curry.

Katt continued, emphasizing that he advised Curry to shoot before defenders could even react, suggesting that this strategy would cement his legacy as “the greatest shooter that ever lived.”

“Now, I’m not claiming he took that advice and ran with it, but let’s just say he did take my advice and made it happen,” Williams humorously added.

As of now, Steph has yet to respond to Katt’s bold claims regarding his illustrious career.
