WATCH: Steph Curry plays NBA 2K15 but in real life

MANILA, Philippines – Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook or James Harden.

Whichever you pick for this year’s NBA MVP will be a deserving enough choice. Not receiving the Maurice Podoloff Trophy will do little to diminish the incredible play of these three players this season.

But special recognition has to be given to Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry, who is averaging 23.6 points and 7.8 assists per game while shooting .419% from downtown, while leading his team to an NBA-best 49-12 record so far.

And he’s also this year’s NBA Three-Point shootout champion.

There are some stories that stats can’t tell, and for these such moments, seeing is the only means of believing. Take for example this third quarter sequence in the Warriors’ Sunday win over the Los Angeles Clippers.

Curry splits the defense of Chris Paul and Deandre Jordan with a behind the back dribble, then runs circles around Spencer Hawes before stepping behind the three-point line for a fadeaway that hits nothing but net.

For those looking to replicate this at home on your NBA 2K15 video game, you have to hit the pro stick backwards, then hit the R2 straight back and lean back on the left analog stick and hit square for the fadeaway.
