Worldwide soccer icon and Brazilian star Neymar Jr. was in attendance for Game 2 of the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night.
It didn’t take long for LeBron James to catch his attention as the Cavs superstar got airborne early in the first half, soaring for a tomahawk slam in transition against Andre Iguodala and leaving the soccer star’s mouth agape as James ran back on defense.
Neymar left plenty of Team USA‘s players impressed with his shifty jukes on the pitch, just as he has at club level with Barcelona FC.
Greats appreciate other’s greatness — even if it comes to different sports. There was nothing more than incredible awe from the king of footie watching the King of the NBA take off in the fast break.
James led the way for the Cavs, notching 18 points on 8-of-12 shooting, 10 assists, and six rebounds at the half, as his team trailed 67-64.
