Steph Curry regularly lights up the internet with preposterous basketball deeds,Michael Maien so at first glance this ultra-sweet behind-the-back pass seems like more of the same.

But ... 🤔 🤔 🤔 ... something's off here. Way off.

It went unnoticed in some quarters, but that shouldn't have counted! The pass looks cool, sure, but Curry definitelydouble-dribbled.

Watch again just before Curry crosses the three-point line: He transfers the ball from his left hand to right hand, then dribbles again with his right hand before whipping the lefty behind-the-back pass.

So it's actually FAKE NEWS. (Well, a fake highlight, but tomato-tomahto, y'know?)

On the Bay Area local Warriors broadcast Tuesday night, announcers seemed to completely miss the violation -- as did plenty of fans, and certain online media outlets we won't name here. But Curry could be seen laughing immediately after the play, indicating that he knew he'd gotten away with one.

The Warriors even shared the double-dribble pass among other plays in this 30-second highlight reel.

And if you're wondering: The rest of Curry's highlights there aren't illegal; they're just unfair.
