Golden State Warriors Rumors: Steph Curry Still Not In The Same Stratosphere As Lionel Messi [VIDEO]

Even Steph Curry wants his name mentioned in the same sentence as Lionel Messi.

The Warriors PG congratulated Messi on reaching 30 million Instagram followers on Thursday, offering an autographed No. 30 jersey to commemorate the achievement. Curry even went as far as inviting the Argentine to an NBA game at Oracle Arena.

 Congrats @leomessi on 30 million!

It didn’t take long for the package to arrive.

 Muchas gracias al fenómeno @stephencurry30 por mandarme su camiseta firmada con el número 30 para felicitarme por los 30 millones en Insta. ¡ cuando llegues a 10 millones te mando la mía! // Thanks so much to the great Stephen Curry for sending me a signed jersey to congratulate me for reaching 30 million followers on Instagram. As soon as you get 10M I'll send you mine!

Curry’s gesture comes as no surprise. Despite using an entirely different body part to feed his family, the reigning NBA MVP likened his game to Messi’s in an interview with BBC World Service.

"We both have a creative style, where it's just about a feel when you're out on the pitch or the court," he said. "I try to do some fancy things out there with both hands, making crossover moves and kind of having a certain creativity and flair to my game.

"And that's definitely the style that Messi has when he's out there in his matches."

Admittedly, there is an artistic value to watching Curry shatter Chris Paul’s ankles on a yearly basis.

But even that pales in comparison to the destruction of four poor souls en route to goal.

We’re not even sure if Jerome Boateng is still alive.

In reality, the invitation to watch a game should be the other way around. Curry might learn a thing or two in Barcelona.
