Warriors superstar [Stephen Curry](http://time.com/4168168/stephen-curry-burger-king-ad/) is everywhere these days, leading his team on [one of the most dominant runs](http://time.com/4157445/stephen-curry-effect-explained-golden-state-warriors/) in sports history and making headlines pretty much every time he steps on the court. So it’s no surprise that the 27-year-old reigning NBA MVP is finding ways to drop jaws before the actual game even begins. During Golden State’s warmups for a recent matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers, Curry demonstrated a few of his superb dribbling skills. He even finished the display with a reverse lay-up that he made look like the easiest thing in the world.

Did we mention that he was also playing through a [left shin contusion](http://www.si.com/nba/2016/01/02/stephen-curry-golden-state-warriors-leg-injury-return-update)? Keep doing you, Steph.
