After FC Barcelona disallowed Neymar to participate in this summer's Copa America, the Brazilian striker has taken advantage of his free time.
From hanging out with Jamie Foxx to Stephen Curry, the Blaugrana has taken America by storm this summer. In addition, Barca's ace was invited to the NBA finals at the Oracle Arena on Sunday evening, and the presence of the famous footballer did not go by unnoticed.
After the Warriors bagged their second consecutive win to take a 2-0 lead in the series, Neymar met up with Steph Curry, as they exchanged jerseys with each other.

In the post-match press conference, Curry talked about Barcelona's forward and the 'grace' he possesses on the field.
“He's a star in the soccer world, showing such skill and a kind of grace when he's out there on the field. So he's fun to watch.
“I know he's a basketball head. I saw him dribbling two basketballs the other day trying to mimic my two-ball routine - I told him I appreciate that, and he doesn't want to see me with a soccer ball because I wouldn't know what to do!
“It's pretty cool to know we've got fans all over, and obviously it's inspiring what he does on the soccer field.”
