In March 1988, Diego Maradona showcased his talent in an unusual setting—on a basketball court during a charity event at the ‘Maggio Argento’ in Naples. Just as he mesmerized audiences on football fields, Maradona left spectators in awe with his impressive performance on the basketball court. Maradona accepted the challenge to play basketball alongside other players from the Napoli football team against their basketball counterparts. The crowd filled the stands to watch the legendary Argentine footballer take on this unconventional role. With accurate shots, quick thinking, and agility, Maradona displayed great familiarity with the sport of basketball. A video of this rare event has been circulating widely over the past 24 hours.
