Stoke City duo Ryan Shawcross and Asmir Begovic took some time away from the football pitch to enjoy a bit of basketball action on Thursday night.
The Potters pair attended the O2 Arena in London to watch the New York Knicks take on the Milwaukee Bucks in the ninth fixture which has been staged in the UK.
NBA is enjoying unbridled success in the UK with every match achieving a sell-out result which was further enhanced by the Knicks v Bucks match-up which was sold out in record time.
Centre-back Shawcross and goalkeeper Begovic, with New York jersey in tow, posed for a picture courtside at the O2 just prior to tip-off of the clash between the struggling Knicks - bottom of the Eastern Conference Atlantic division - and the Bucks who sit second on the Central division standings.
