The editing is seriously impressive, however, requiring a fine eye to notice anything wrong with the footage. After the video was confirmed as edited, this Twitter use noticed the smallest of details when reviewing the video:
Took a while but finally have proof it’s fake. Watch the first ball closely at it bounces. It freezes in the air showing two videos are overlapped. Impressive edit tho pic.twitter.com/adoUgDs9KT

Steph Curry's Brilliance
Such is the brilliance of Steph Curry, until it was confirmed that the video is in fact edited, it would be entirely possible that he would be able to pull off this impressive feat, constantly defying logic. Had it been anybody else, the video would immediately be assumed to be false, but with Steph Curry, anything is possible.
His 3-point shooting ability has been revolutionary in the NBA, as he has constantly provided viewers with moments of magic and sheer brilliance. In years gone by, we have seen numerous videos of Steph Curry making 'impossible' shots from ridiculous angles and distances, but this was just a step too far.
This video and the reaction it has sparked speaks to the talent that Steph Curry has, as millions of fans accepted the never-before-seen task of nailing five shots in a row from within your own half.
Watch any Steph Curry warm up routine, and you can fully appreciate why him sinking 5 full-court shots would be achievable for a man with his talent.
