One up-and-coming legend met the greatest of all time Sunday.
Brazilian superstar footballer Neymar caught up with NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan, an experience he called "a dream come true."

Putting aside his premature exit at the Copa Americas, Neymar is quickly becoming one of the top footballers in the world.
He is quite possibly the most inventive dribbler in the world and has earned the number 11 shirt while playing an instrumental role in Barcelona's treble run this season. Neymar also wore the captain's armband for the Brazilian national team this summer.
