Two of the best players at their respective sports mixed it up after the Warriors destroyed the Cavs 110-77 in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday.
Brazilian soccer star Neymar was escorted to the team’s locker room after the win so he could hang out with Leandro Barbosa and Anderson Varejao, who are both Brazilian as well.

But Neymar didn’t come all the way to the United States to miss a chance to meet the league’s MVP for the first time. The two shared a quick embrace and there was a lot of greatness in the room.
Steph and Klay Thompson didn’t walk away empty-handed, either.

Neymar is in the U.S. watching Brazil play in the Copa America Centario. He’s not slated to play in any of the games, though, as the team plans to rest him for the Olympics.
