Steph and Seth Curry faced a 10-foot inflatable puppet on Korean TV

Stephen Curry visited South Korea last week as part of his Asia Tour with Under Armour. He and brother Seth Curry not only spent time playing against fans and celebrities, but they also appeared on MBC’s variety show Infinite Challenge. The show’s hosts wanted to play against Steph and Seth, but knowing that they’d get destroyed, they decided to buff up their defenses. They gave one player a literal extra set of hands, and turned another player into an 10-foot inflatable puppet master with two other inflatable basketball tube men on both of his sides. Also, the hosts had a comically large hoop to shoot at.

The guy with the extra hands had terrible defense, but the inflatable-puppet-man method worked!

Until it didn’t.

Seth hit the puppet man with a screen while Steph got a layup, and later, Steph made a bounce pass to himself by bonking the puppet man in the head.

Of course, Steph had to hit them with a halfcourt shot (which counted as five points), as he is wont to do. You have to give props (pun intended) to the hosts for trying their damnedest to try and stop Steph and Seth Curry, but even the grandest of inflatable plans fall apart eventually.

In the fourth quarter, they swapped out the puppet and hands with a rotating basket, and the Currys still managed get through that gimmick with Seth getting his hero moments.

We don’t know which team won, but the Currys got the game tied at 53 a piece, and they probably stopped the game there. The true winners, however, are the geniuses that thought of that inflatable puppet, because now we need that for All-Star weekend.
