Steph Curry just wrapped up his third straight summer tour of Asia and it did not end on a high note, as the back-to-back MVP’s game-winning shot attempt in an Under Armour-sponsored scrimmage in Taiwan was blocked by 17-year-old Gian Mamuyac.
Reporter TJ Manotoc has the video:

According to Manotoc, Curry asked for a do-over and Mamuyac obliged, playing less than stellar defense, which allowed Curry to do this:
Uhm, so Steph asked for a replay of the last 5 secs haha ? then @mamuinthesea just put up both hands and SPLASH ? pic.twitter.com/fvQvNKmjIl

For his efforts, Mamuyac — who played for the Phillipines’ U-18 team — earned the MVP award and an invite to Curry’s basketball camp.
Just got word that Gian's @mamuinthesea MVP Award comes with an even bigger prize, a slot in THE SC Basketball Camp in the US! ?????
