Stephen Curry: It's inspiring what Neymar does on the soccer field

Barcelona forward Neymar was one of the fans at the second game of the NBA finals between Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers, as the former won to take a 2-0 lead in the series. 

The presence of Neymar, one of the best footballers in the world, didn’t pass unnoticed and the NBA’s official Twitter account tweeted that he was present, while the league’s MVP Stephen Curry had plenty to say about him, too. 

Curry exchanged shirts with the Barça man, also giving him tickets to the finals, and also spoke about his "grace" on the pitch. 

He told a press conference: “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.”
