Chiliee! If “giving credit where credit is due” had a face, it would certainly be Katt Williams. The comedian kicked off 2024 with a few viral comments, and now he’s ending the same way, saying he’s basically the reason Steph Curry became the greatest shooter in the NBA.

Does Katt Williams take credit for Steph Curry’s hoops skills?
Katt Williams has taken a break from social media again after a video of a podcast from the 2024 Vulture Festival in November resurfaced. In the clip, Katt claims he was the one who told Steph Curry to start shooting deep 3-pointers before he even entered the NBA.
“Anyone who knows me knows I don’t pretend I do. This is not part of the process. It’s about doing what it is and letting it be. But I am without a doubt responsible for the greatest shooter in the NBA! Katt said during the podcast interview.
The “Friday After Next” star posted a 30-second story at Vulture Fest to back up her claims. Katt said he met Steph Curry before the NBA when he hired him for a celebrity basketball game to benefit Children and Family Services of Los Angeles. He explained that he got Curry to join the team and even gave him $5,000 to play. At the time, no one knew who Curry was, but once he got on the court, he started shooting from half court all the way to the 3-point line.
“The next year, in the next game, he scored 50 points.” I say yeah man, you get $5,000 for a celebrity basketball game, but you’re one of the greatest shooters that ever lived. Do you understand that if you take your game to the NBA, either they have to change something or you will be the greatest shooter that ever lived,” Katt continued.
Katt continued, saying he told Curry that if he could shoot before defenders even had time to react, he would be “the greatest shooter who ever lived.”
“Now, I’m not saying he took that advice and continued to do it, but he took my advice and continued to do it,” Williams joked.
So far, Steph hasn’t said anything about Katt’s outlook on her career.
