It was recently confirmed that Messi has decided to wear the No. 30 with his new club, forgoing the iconic No. 10 he used to dawn with Barca. For what it's worth, Messi's former teammate and good buddy Neymar currently owns the No. 10 shirt with PSG. Neymar actually offered to gift the No. 10 to Messi, but the latter decided to reject the offer and go with the No. 30 instead.

Curry is also a big fan of the No. 30 and he definitely approves of Messi's shirt number. These two are considered all-time greats in their respective sports, and the fact that they now share the same jersey number is certainly noteworthy.

Messi's legendary career took a shocking turn when he decided to turn his back on Barcelona after nearly two decades. Warriors fans are hoping that Stephen Curry does not follow in Messi's footsteps in terms of the mind-blowing twist his career just took. Dub Nation loves their superstar and they firmly believe that Steph is a Warrior for life.
