Steph And Seth Curry Played A Bizarre Game Of 2-On-5 On A Korean Television Show

Stephen Curry and his brother, Seth, would make a pretty good 2-on-2 squad if they were to ever team up. They did just that on a Korean variety show called Infinite Challenge. It’s an award-winning show that’s hugely popular on the Korean Peninsula, and things got wild when the Currys showed up to shoot some hoops.

The show appears to have Curry just clowning five of the show’s hosts for a while before it got to the extremely variety show portion of the program. For most of the preview video it’s Steph putting moves on folks and putting the ball inside his shirt to show off.

But what started out as a normal pickup game soon turned into Steph being defended by a man with dozens of hands and a gigantic puppet stuffing every shot near the rim.

The show appears to have brought out the wacky stuff at the half of their pickup game. Out marches a gigantic puppet defender sitting on the shoulders of a regular-sized man. Then another man with some kind of weird backpack comes out to join the show’s team as well.

“How do they make this stuff, bro?” Curry asked, exasperated as one new player let loose dozens of extra hands behind his back like a bizarro world peacock.

The puppet man was taller than the rim itself, while a crew also set up two wacky waiving inflatable arm man defenders to the sides of the hoop to up the difficulty. The result is Curry getting mercilessly stuffed underneath the hoop, as every shot taken just hits the puppet’s face and hands over and over again.

The other team’s hoop was also considerably bigger than the regulation-sized hoop the Currys had, which made it much easier for the other team to score. Eventually, though Curry figured he could beat the puppets with his range, lobbing up a half-court shot at the buzzer that fell true.

That counted as a 5-point shot in their game, but there’s also another option to beat the show — beaning the puppet in the face and improvising.

If you’ve ever dreamed of Steph Curry playing in the Most Extreme Elimination Challenge, this is the show for you. And unfair circumstances or not, it looked like the Currys had a lot of fun showing off. Maybe they got to keep the puppet, too.
