Two sports worlds collide as NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo expressed joy in receiving a gift from legendary football star Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
With a big smile on his face, the Milwaukee Bucks star displayed on his official Instagram a signed jersey of Ibra with the caption, "When you are on vacation and the GOAT send you a jersey!"
The Swedish soccer star replied in what many say is the most Zlatan way.
"Next is Greek dinner but you pay," he said.
Antetokounmpo replied, "anytime". Now fans can look forward to another encounter between these elite athletes.

The Greek Freak is an avid football fan. He had wanted to become a football player before experiencing a growth spurt and seeing his big brother Thanasis hold a basketball.
He said he is an Arsenal fan but admitted that his favorite player is Zlatan to the point that he got excited when NBA Global visited Paris, where Ibra was playing at that time.
Ibra's legendary career
Zlatan recently announced his retirement from football, capping off a legendary career that is up there with all-time greats despite not winning a Champions League trophy.
He is both a fans and media darling, known for his larger-than-life personality on and off the pitch. He has confidence, is always outspoken, and can make snarky comments that many interpret as his sense of humor.
Zlatan ended his professional career with 12 Ballon d'Or nominations and four UEFA Team of the Year honors. He had stellar stints with prestigious clubs in Europe's top five leagues -- Inter Milan, AC Milan, Barcelona, Manchester United, PSG, and Juventus.
