Arsenal legend Thierry Henry proved to the world that his technique is still very much intact after he netted from half-court with a basketball, with his feet.

Henry is a huge fan of the sport and only grew to love it further during his time in New York playing for the Red Bulls in the MLS.

The Frenchman was a guest as Team World practised ahead of the NBA Africa match in South Africa, an exhibition match used to raise the profile of the league globally.

Henry side-footed the basketball from half-court and while it wasn’t a swish, the ball eventually made it in after bouncing off the rim.

Our record goalscorer will get back to his regular day job this week for Sky Sports as the Premier League resumes once again.

We kick off the season on live on Sky on Friday at the Emirates Stadium against Leicester City, a fixture the French icon will certainly be in attendance for.
