Who are the most electrifying athletes in the world right now? It's soccer star Lionel Messi and NBA MVP Stephen Curry. So, what's better than a video of some of their many jaw-dropping highlights? 

These two are really similar. For one, they like to give each other gifts. And, they are both fairly short for their sport, with Curry at 6'3 and Messi at 5'7. They are also very fast, play smart and are lethal when scoring. Messi can beat you from range, and Curry has never been afraid to pull up from deep. Messi doesn't need much space to get a shot off, and neither those Curry. The best in their sport, they also have plenty of years left to amaze, as Curry is just 27, and Messi is just 28.

Winner? The sports world.
