Recently, it came to light that Ronaldinho, who is 36 years old now, had the chance to meet a number of NBA stars. Anthony Davis, James Harden, Marc Gasol, Draymond Green, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Kevin Durant were some of these guys. For each of them, Ronaldinho gave a personalized Barcelona jersey and even showed them around the training facility where Barcelona plays. Important players like Mark Cuban and Brandon Armstrong played in the 2017 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, which was completely sold out. The score was 88–59 in favor of the East team over the West team. The players took part in the dummy challenge before the second half started to keep things light and stop anyone from taking it too seriously. This task did what it was supposed to do, which was to be both confusing and funny.
