First French player to enter the NBA Hall of Fame on the night of Saturday to Sunday, Tony Parker delivered a poignant speech during the induction ceremony. Thanking his relatives, the former Spurs playmaker had a word for his longtime friend Thierry Henry, present in the room.
It is a long-standing friendship between Tony Parker and Thierry Henry that the former wanted to celebrate during his induction speech into the NBA Hall of Fame. Officially becoming the first French player to enter the Basketball Hall of Fame, “TP” the basketball player did not fail to pay tribute to “Titi” the footballer, on the night of Saturday to Sunday in Springfield (Massachusetts).
“You were always there for me”, Parker’s tribute to Henry
Present for several days alongside the former playmaker of the San Antonio Spurs, the top scorer in the history of Arsenal had been seen during the week in the villa of the quadruple NBA champion dancing and celebrating the passage neighbor of his friend to posterity. Last night, Henry was in the room as Parker made his Hall of Fame induction official. And he was honored by the latter through a few words.
“Titi, I didn’t have a big brother but you were a big brother to me. I will always remember it, when I injured my knee and they said my career was over, you took the lead. 48 hours later and you were helping me with everything, even going to the bathroom. I couldn’t do anything but you were always there for me. Thank you for everything.”
Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol, Dwyane Wade and Gregg Popovich were also among the personalities inducted during this class of 2023 of the Hall of Fame.
