Attacking Midfield: Steph Curry

Steph Curry

The two-time MVP takes his place in the midfield. While he does not have the prototypical speed and athleticism that many possess - Steph simply does things that others can't do. Steph Curry has his own gravitational pull that leaves defenders in the dust with his agile ball handling and quick change in pace and direction, He has the ability to make something out of nothing and seemingly shoot lights out from anywhere.

Similarities: Lionel Messi (Barcelona)

Lionel Messi

This quote from Messi makes their striking resemblance conclusive:

“Seeing him play is magical...Our small size and playing styles even have some similarities," Messi on Steph Curry last year. “If you watch Curry play-or, just as revealing, warm up before the game-you notice his relationship with the ball, It’s like his body and mind are always on the same wavelength with the ball. I try to have that connection with the ball in my sport, too.”
