This isn't the first time the athletes have crossed paths. Neymar sat courtside in June to watch the Warriors beat the Cavaliers in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Curry and Neymar are two of the highest-paid athletes in the world. After agreeing to a "supermax deal," Curry is set to make more than $40 million per year. Neymar falls just short of Curry, estimated to make more than $36 million per year.
Curry and his wife, Ayesha have been in Paris the last few days enjoying time away during the off-season.
