Zlatan Ibrahimovic Would Be the 'Best Hockey Player in the World'

LA Galaxy's Zlatan Ibrahimovic stopped by STAPLES Center to drop the puck ahead of the LA Kings matchup against the Islanders.
...and he left proclaiming that he could have been the greatest hockey player in the world.
Drew Doughty, who was filling in for Captain Anze Kopitar, greeted the soccer superstar and even gave Ibrahimovic the puck to keep as a souvenir.

Zlatan has long been considered one of the greatest soccer players ever.
However, if he had taken up hockey from the beginning, would he be the best hockey player in the world?
"For sure," said Zlatan, when asked by FOX Reporter Patrick O'Neal. "Because the confidence I come with, the hard work I put down, the belief I have in myself."
"Whatever I would do, I would be the best," he said. "Why be good when you can be the best?"
Well... he does have a point.

His experience in LA has been nothing but welcoming and positive.
"Everybody makes me feel welcome," said Ibrahimovic. "I'm very happy and I try to perform and give back as much as possible."

"I was a little bit nervous, but didn't slip," said Ibrahimovic after he kicked a soccer ball into the crowd for one lucky fan.

The Kings wore special Galaxy-themed jerseys during warm up, which were signed by each player and are currently being auctioned off on the
Kings Care Foundation Mobile Auction
until 4 pm tomorrow!

All fans in attendance received an Kings and Galaxy Co-Branded Clear Drawstring Backpack. Those who bought their tickets through a special ticket pack also received an LA Galaxy T-shirt!
