Matthew Dellavedova‘s stifling defense on Stephen Curry in the 2015 NBA Finals does not even compare to this.

Golden State Warrior superstar Curry appeared on MBC show “Infinite Challenge” Saturday, where he had a 5-on-2 pickup game with his brother Seth Curry of Dallas Mavericks.

With the Curry brothers dominating the five players on court, the “Infinite Challenge” team attempted a come-back with various gimmicks.

What stood out the most were the “upgrades” by show hosts Park Myeong-su, Jeong Jun-ha. Park equipped wth about two dozen extra hands on his back to contest the sharp-shooters, while six-foot-one Jeong piggybacked an inflatable giant figure to block their shots.

The “big Jun-ha” was extremely effective, as the 14-foot figure blocked several of Stephen’s shots without even moving.

But he proved that he was a two-time MVP for a reason; the brothers eventually devised a play to neutralize the figure, and Stephen even drained a half-court shot over the giant with an extra-high arc.

The sight caught the eyes of the sports world internationally as well.

Tommy Beer, a senior NBA analyst for BasketballInsiders.com, tweeted the video of the hilarious match and wrote “Steph trying to get ready to play against Kawhi Leonard and Rudy Gobert.”

Leonard of San Antonio Spurs is known for his perimeter defense, and Gobert -- with his towering figure and long-arms -- is a formidable inside presence.
