We went behind-the-scenes with Jimmy Donaldson (aka MrBeast) as he shot his next video in the "Beat Ronaldo, Win $1,000,000" series of Pros vs Joes except this time the video featured the Golden State Warrior's Steph Curry alongside Neymar, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lilliard, and more in a video titled "Beat Neymar, Win $1,000,000." Beyond the shoot, we also spend time with the NBA's biggest stars, podcasts like All The Smoke co-hosts Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson and journalists like Shams Charania to find out just how much YouTube has changed the NBA culminating in MrBeast's $100,000 halftime show where a lucky fan hit a halfcourt shot.
