Despite playing different sports during their professional athletic careers, Tony Parker and Thierry Henry have maintained a great relationship as friends. While they are both French, the two stars have expressed their respect and admiration for each other.

In 2017, Parker suffered a quadriceps tendon injury and had to take some time off from basketball to allow his body to recover. The six-time All-Star shared how much he appreciated the support of everyone, especially Henry's.

"He’s like a big brother, one of my best friends," Parker said. "It’s great to have a friend who experienced the same stuff as you and supports you. Throughout my career, he’s always been there for me.
"When I got hurt, he came to see me three days after. He took a plane and came to support me right after my surgery. It’s pretty nice to have friends like that."

Henry also sees Parker as a great athlete and shared how much he respects his friend.

"He’s done so much (for French basketball) that you can’t even imagine," Henry said. "Before, it was like, ‘Can we just get a French guy drafted?’ Now, we are talking about a guy who is a future Hall of Famer. They are going to retire his jersey (in San Antonio). Four rings. … This is just a joke, really.
"When I say it, it doesn’t sound right. In France, it’s normal now. There are French guys in the NBA. Well done, Tony."
