After the game, Golden State stars  Klay Thompson and Draymond Green briefly chatted with Neymar. Warriors guard Gary Payton II and forward Gui Santos, who is from Brazil, also said hello. Thompson gave the young person next to Neymar his jersey then showed off his shooting form, presumingly offering tips. "We respect his greatness," Thompson said, referring to the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain forward. Neymar is also close friends with Heat star Jimmy Butler. The two met with tennis star Carlos Alcaraz at the Miami Open on Monday.

I have a lot of respect for him, after all he is a legend of his sport, a star and to have him come to see me is a privilege.” Alcaraz said. “I thanked him and invited him to the final.”
