The PSG star, who is known to be a big basketball fan, was photographed at the Barclays Centre in Brooklyn, New York after being videoed honing his craft on an arcade-style hoop machine.

Mbappe joined basketball royalty at the Barclays Centre in attending the glamorous gala in which some of the sport’s most talented young players finally see their dreams realised.

Prior to the draft, fans on social media got to see a glimpse of the PSG forward’s ability with his hands. 

Posting footage of himself shooting some hoops, Mbappe captioned the clip ‘Ready for the NBA draft’. 

One of the Frenchman’s club team-mates, Eric Ebimbe, joked in a reply that the forward would be the first pick. 

The PSG superstar is known to be a big fan of the sport and has rubbed shoulders with basketball royalty a number of times in the past
