Thierry Henry kicks in half court shot at NBA Africa Game practice

Surrounded by NBA stars, Thierry Henry was still able to hold his own on a basketball court.

Henry did show off his jump shot in front of Team World as they prepared for their 2017 NBA Africa Game on Aug. 5. But Henry also decided to put his soccer skills to the test, by casually taking and drilling a half court shot with his foot.

While he’s scored his fair share of memorable goals throughout his own professional career, it was still quite the shot for the Frenchman with Kyle Lowry, Kristaps Porzingis, Andre Drummond, and Dirk Nowitzki all in attendance for Friday’s practice in Johannesburg, South Africa.

When Team World wasn’t watching the former Arsenal striker, they put their own skills on display.

After watching those dunk attempts, it’s a good thing Nowitzki’s jumper is still as good as ever.
