Prince Harry met with NBA stars on Wednesday as part of the Coach Core graduation ceremony at St. James's Palace in London.

The NBA isn't exactly the most popular sport in England, so you could forgive some for the names being somewhat unfamiliar.

The newspaper sent out a tweet with Prince Harry standing next to Dikembe Mutombo (48) and identified him as Carmelo Anthony (30).
