Steve Nash of Phoenix Suns Confirms His Friend Thierry Henry Will Become a New York Red Bull

Steve Nash was at the Red Bulls game Saturday and confirmed that his friend Thierry Henry will become a Red Bull as reported by nypost.com:
"It's fantastic,'' Nash said at tonight's Red Bull game vs. D.C. United. "And we're lucky as well. Thierry is still a world-class player. We've seen players come over before who showed how great they were, but not necessarily every night.
"I think he's still capable of bringing it at the highest level. It's amazing that he's willing to come over at this stage of his career, to be honest. It’s a big coup for Red Bull and MLS as well.'' 
"He's had a phenomenal career played at some of the biggest teams in the world, had a fantastic time at Arsenal and a fantastic time at Barcelona,'' Nash said. "When you've been a professional player at the highest level with those kind of expectations since you're 17, sometimes you welcome a change.
"He's accomplished so much. I don’t know how many players have won as much _ he's won in England, he's won in Spain, he's won a Champions League, he's won a European cup, he's won a World Cup. He loves America, he loves new York city and is ready for a new challenge. So I'm thrilled I'll be able to see him on a daily basis.''
