World Cup winner poses for photos with the likes of Rose, Durant and Faried.
Arsenal and Germany ace Mesut Ozil stopped by the Team USA basketball practice facility in Las Vegas on Thursday and met with some of the NBA’s top stars.
Ahead of his return to pre-season training with the Gunners, the World Cup winner is seemingly enjoying the final few days of his holiday and decided to drop by the USA training camp as they gear up for the FIBA Basketball World Cup.
The tournament begins at the end of August in Spain, but Team USA are scheduled to continue their preparations in Vegas prior to playing a set of exhibition games in order to warm up for the main event.
It is unclear as to whether or not Ozil was able to give them any significant advice given that he has just won the biggest international prize in his own sport, but ultimately with the likes of Derrick Rose and Kevin Durant amongst the ranks, it is unlikely that the Americans will need much more additional motivation to reach their goal.
