Team USA basketball had a surprise visitor during their training camp for the Fiba World Cup - Arsenal and Germany star Mesut Ozil.

The 25-year-old dropped in on the players in Las Vegas ahead of the tournament that begins on 30 August in Spain.

It is not known whether Ozil, who helped Germany to World Cup glory in Brazil, passed on any tips on how to win a world cup to the US players, but he got plenty of tips on his jump shot.

Ozil is resting after the tournament and will not feature for Arsenal in the Emirates Cup this weekend.

On his Facebook page, Ozil said: "It was a pleasure meeting you Derrick Rose!"
