Curry and Messi comparisons
A few years ago, Curry spoke about the comparisons to Messi in terms of creativity and innovation.
"I think it’s the creative genius to what he does and a flair, but also there is a fundamental aspect to the flair," Curry said, via Sportbible. The work that he puts in, I’m assuming, based on the talent that he has, and combining that with the talent that he has and how that kind of shows when he’s out there on the pitch."
"I think there’s a lot of comparison, really, around the creativity and the innovation that we bring to our respective sports."
With Messi now plying his trade in Miami, it won't be surprising to see the two sporting legends bump shoulders.
