NBA star James Harden swapped his Brooklyn Nets jersey for a Juventus shirt to reveal he's a 'huge fan' of Paulo Dybala, sending a message to the Argentine.
Dybala is stuck on the sidelines with a knee injury, battling to rejoin Juve's title push having made only eight start this season.
The forward is a NBA fan and has appeared court-side before, so Harden's message of support will be a helpful lift amid a tough season.
'It’s me, the Beard, James Harden,' the new Nets signing said in a video message posted to Dybala's Instagram, wearing Juventus' black and white home kit.
'I just wanted to give you a shoutout and say I'm a huge fan of you. Good luck with the season.'
The Argentinian star responded in the caption: 'Thanks for the support! By the way, that jersey suits you well!'
Dybala and Harden are both Adidas athletes, with the former Houston Rockets sensation donning his own 'Futurenatural' line of sneakers.
Harden will be hoping Andrea Pirlo's side will continue their climb up the table after a dreadful start, as they lie third and seven points behind leaders AC Milan.
