Is Katt Williams Taking Credit For Steph Curry’s Hooping Skills?
Katt Williams has social media cuttin’ UP again after a video from a podcast at the 2024 Vulture Festival in November resurfaced. In the clip, Katt claims he’s the one who told Steph Curry to start shooting deep 3-pointers before even stepping into the NBA.
“Anybody that knows me, knows that I don’t claim s**t that I do. That’s not part of doing it. It’s doing what it is and letting that be it. But I am responsible for the greatest shooter in the NBA without question!” Katt said during the podcast interview.
The ‘Friday After Next’ star dropped a 30-second story at Vulture Fest to back up his claim. Katt said he met Steph Curry before the NBA when he hired him for a celebrity basketball game benefiting Los Angeles children and family services. He explained that he got Curry to join the team and even gave him $5K to play. At the time, nobody knew who Curry was, but once he stepped on the court, he start shooting from anywhere past half court all the way to the 3-point line.
“The next year, the next game he scores 50 points.’I say aye dude, you out here making $5K for a celebrity basketball game, but you one of the greatest shooters that ever existed. Do you understand that if you take your game to the NBA, they either have to change something or you’ll be the greatest shooter that ever existed,” Katt continued.
Katt kept going, saying he told Curry that if he could shoot before defenders even had time to react, he’d be “the greatest shooter that ever lived.”
“Now I’m not saying he took that advice and went on to do that but he took my advice and went on do that,” Williams joked.
As of now, Steph hasn’t said anything about Katt’s take on his career.
