Athletes such as LeBron James and Stephen Curry seem to rise to another plane of existence, even above their superstar peers. Imagine if these stars could get a powerful boost from Dr. Stephen Strange, Sorcerer Supreme and Master of the Mystic Arts.In a content partnership between ESPN and Marvel, our heroes battle for the fate of the world -- and the Larry OBrien Trophy in the 2016-17 season. Marvels protector of Earth against mystical threats has imbued the NBAs greatest players with incredible abilities, even beyond those theyve already demonstrated.Stephen CurryGolden State Warriors | PGPower: All-seeing shooting eyeKey stat: Single-season record of 402 3-pointers in 2015-16Mind-bending moment: Made a 3-pointer from beyond 30 feet with one second left in overtime to beat the Thunder in Oklahoma City.The reigning two-time MVP shoots so well from beyond the arc, youd think hes using the Eye of Agamotto to enhance his vision. Last season he smashed his own single-season record of 286 made 3s in 2014-15, becoming the first NBA player to make 400 3s in a season -- while shooting an unfathomable 45.4 percent from beyond the arc.

But the newest Warriors star isnt astral-projecting to fool defenders -- instead, hes blowing past them, slicing through them or shooting over them to get to 20 points with more frequency and consistency than any other player in the league.

But LeBron James knew that such a reality was just one of many, and he used his supernatural abilities to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds and introduce us to a world in which Cleveland is the city of champions. As The Ancient One says, not everything has to make sense -- like a player seemingly teleporting across the court to pin an opponents shot against the backboard in the most important game of his life.

He demonstrates more skills with his hands (1.8 steals, 1.0 blocks per game in 2015-16) than Stephen Strange did as a neurosurgeon, creating a virtual force field around the Spurs basket. If Doctor Strange is Earths defender against mystical threats, then Leonard is the defender against basketball threats.
