Paris Saint-Germain brought in another athlete of celebrity status.

Curry was given a custom No. 30 PSG jersey before the game at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris against Saint-Etienne. 

This isn't the first time the athletes have crossed paths. Neymar sat courtside in June to watch the Warriors beat the Cavaliers in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. 

Curry and Neymar are two of the highest-paid athletes in the world. After agreeing to a "supermax deal," Curry is set to make more than $40 million per year. Neymar falls just short of Curry, estimated to make more than $36 million per year. 

Curry and his wife, Ayesha have been in Paris the last few days enjoying time away during the off-season. 

 

Seeing the world with you is everything...I 👀 you 🇫🇷!
