The 2017 Turkish All Star game that was held today in Istanbul had a most special surprise in store for the fans: A guest star participation of Barcelona football player Arda Turan!
And we’re not joking when we say “surprise”. It was the real deal. Turan was present in the arena but almost no one knew that he’d actually PLAY in the match!
So after watching the slam dunk, three-point contests etc he jumped on court almost… out of nowhere and entered the stage to join the basketball stars of the Turkish league and provide some show for the fans.
Turan, who is also the captain of the Turkish national team, showed he has… quite the game in basketball apart from football, especially when it comes to shooting from the perimeter.
Coach Velimir Perasovic also created a play exclusively for his talents in order to… dunk the ball. Alas, it didn’t happen, despite the assistance of Serbian big guy Vladimir Stimac.
