The famous soccer/football star, Thierry Henry,is virtually switching sports as he will now be playing basketball in NBA 2K17.
2K Sports announced via a press release that Henry is a huge fan of basketball as he loves watching the San Antonio Spurs. Now he can somewhat live out an alternative past life by playing basketball in NBA 2K17.
Henry is playable in the Blacktop mode of the game where he can play street ball. It will be interesting to see if he can hang with the big boys.
“Being a basketball and NBA fan since I was a kid, I’m honoured to be the first football player ever to be playable in NBA 2K17″, said Thierry Henry. “Seeing myself go toe to toe with the legends of the sport is an amazing feeling.”
NBA 2K17 releases later this month for PC, PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360.
