Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has once again proven he is a man of many talents, showcasing his basketball skills during the club's pre-season tour in the United States.

The Spaniard's basketball prowess has left fans in awe, with some even comparing him to NBA superstar Steph Curry.

This latest display of Guardiola's sporting versatility comes just weeks after he was spotted in attendance at the NBA Finals, engaging in animated discussions with Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla.

Earlier this month, the 53-year-old was also seen at Wimbledon, where he watched German tennis player Alexander Zverev beat British star Cameron Norrie.

After the match, Zverev, a self-proclaimed Bayern Munich fan, openly urged Guardiola to make a return to the Bundesliga giants, despite the recent appointment of Vincent Kompany as their new manager.

"We had so many great guests today," Zverev acknowledged. "For me, football legend with Pep Guardiola. When I saw Pep, I got so nervous for a few games there so thanks a lot for coming; it's a great privilege, great honour to play."

Zverev even went as far as to offer Guardiola the chance to coach him in tennis, showcasing the profound respect and admiration the young German has for the Manchester City boss.
