It took just over five months, but Lionel Messi was finally free to fulfill his promise to Steph Curry.
After reaching 30 million Instagram followers in December, Messi received a signed Golden State Warriors jersey from Curry and in exchange, promised the NBA's reigning MVP a signed Barcelona kit once he arrived at 10 million followers himself.
Well, at long last, that day came and Messi took to social media to mark the occasion and follow through on his vow.
Good on you, Leo.
With the NBA and club soccer seasons nearing their end and Argentina making their way to the Bay Area to open their Copa America Centenario run in early June, perhaps a meeting between two of the greats is in the offing.
After all, Curry revealed the Warriors watch highlights of Messi and the Blaugrana for inspiration. So, why not take it a step further and unite both this summer?
