Neymar meets Michael Jordan as Barcelona star takes selfie with basketball legend in 'dream come true' Las Vegas encounter
- Neymar is currently on a post-Copa America trip to Las Vegas with friends
- He attended Conor McGregor's UFC victory over Chad Mendes on Saturday
- He has now met basketball legend Michael Jordan, having already been pictured with current NBA stars Trevor Ariza and James Harden
After a long, mixed 2014-15 campaign in which he won the treble with club side Barcelona before enduring disappointment in the Copa America with Brazil, Neymar is currently enjoying blowing off some steam with friends in Las Vegas.
And having already gone to the UFC 189 fight between Conor McGregor and Chad Mendes in the Nevada desert, on Monday Neymar posted a selfie picture of himself with American basketball legend Michael Jordan.
Neymar captioned the Instagram picture, 'THE GREATEST !!! Dream come true, what an honour to meet this guy' and is clearly a fan of Jordan's sport having posted another photo one day earlier alongside current NBA players Trevor Ariza and James Harden.

Neymar has been as prolific on social media as he was scoring goals on the pitch last season, and in another selfie seemed disappointed at not being able to see his injured Brazilian compatriot Jose Aldo take on McGregor in the UFC 189, settling for his replacement Mendes, who lost out to the Irishman.
The 23-year-old scored 39 goals in 51 games in all competitions as Barcelona won an historic La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League treble in 2014-15.
With the new La Liga fixtures due to be officially announced on Thursday, July 23, Neymar is getting some rest in before attempting to replicate that form in the upcoming campaign for the Blaugrana.
