Stephen Curry broke the video game mold. Literally. You can't do in NBA 2K16 what the Golden State Warriors' superstar does in real life because his game on the real court is too hard to comprehend with the checks and balances in the video game coding. But after winning the first unanimous MVP in NBA history, that's all going to change for 30 hours.
Under Armour announced on Tuesday that for 30 hours beginning on Thursday after Game 5 of the Warriors' series against Portland, 2K16 will bump Curry to a 99 overall rating. This will apparently make him the greatest shooter in NBA 2K history.
This is a pretty cool promotion and celebration of Curry's unprecedented, unanimous MVP. He's just the 11th player in NBA history to win back-to-back MVP awards, and as Under Armour's prized sponsored athlete, it makes sense for them to make such a push to celebrate him in a clever way.
However, if you think bumping his 2K16 rating to 99 is going to make him a better shooter than what I was able to do with Matt Carroll in NBA 2K7, you're dreaming, Under Armour.
