The players had a strange choice of teams...

Washington Wizards basketball players Nene Hilario, Otto Porter and Kevin Seraphin fulfilled a dream of many a young man - playing a game of FIFA on a giant screen.

The pair, on a rest day after losing to the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night, hooked up the giant 'jumbotron' at the Verizon Center, Washington DC, to an Xbox One to play the wildly popular football game.

Strangely, the pair chose an odd combination of opponents, with Busan IPark of the South Korean K League and 1. FC Koln of the Bundesliga on the selection screen; perhaps they were picking random teams.

Nene posted a picture to Twitter with the message: "My boys & I Playing FIFA at real big screen at Verizon @kevin_seraphin Otto."

Nene, a Brazilian, and Seraphin, a Frenchman, both played football as youngsters before turning to basketball.
