The Dynamic Duo of Michael Jordan ... and Neymar?

Recently, the greatest player in basketball history met the one of the best players in the entire world on the pitch … and it was awesome.

Yes, Michael Jordan is more than the hilarious crying memes that you see of him on social media. Jordan was actually a pretty good player in his time, winning six NBA titles with the Chicago Bulls and cemented himself as the greatest basketball player of all-time during his 15 NBA seasons.

So of course, when basketball’s GOAT (greatest of all-time) meets a potential candidate for soccer’s GOAT, it’s going to make headlines.

On Saturday, the 23-year-old Brazilian superstar was in Las Vegas for UFC 189, where Conor McGregor was set to face off against Chad Mendes in the main event of the pay-per-view event.

During his time in Sin City, Neymar ran into Jordan, and the two took a selfie together after meeting one another.

Simply put, there’s a lot of titles and pure greatness in this shot. The caption by Neymar can be translated to, “Dream come true knowing this guy…”

Along with meeting the former Bulls great, Neymar met up with a couple other NBA stars during his time in Vegas, in Houston Rockets forward Trevor Ariza and NBA MVP runner-up James Harden.

Sure, Neymar taking a picture with another sport star isn’t breaking news, but it’s freakin’ awesome. Neymar’s the heir apparent to the “face of FC Barcelona” role once Lionel Messi‘s time on the pitch ends, and Jordan still remains one of the biggest names in all of sports, even 12 years after his second retirement.
