Stephen Curry got his shot blocked by a 17-year-old. It happened in Taipei, Taiwan, on the last stop of the Golden State Warriors superstar's Under Armour Asia tour. In an exhibition game, a camper named Gian Mamuyac, who played for the Philippines at the FIBA Asia Under-18 championship earlier this summer, rejected Curry's last-second 3-pointer and stunned the crowd:
This was the @mamuinthesea block on @StephenCurry30 that earned him his MVP merch. pic.twitter.com/3c46y93DNW

Mamuyac was named MVP of the Taipei leg of Curry's tour, and he'll reportedly get to go to Curry's camp in the United States. Pretty good day for him.
Curry was urged to replay the final five seconds of the game. You can probably guess the result:
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

No one's going to care about that second attempt, though. He's the back-to-back Most Valuable Player, and a teenager blocked his shot.
