CALIFORNIA, USA — Tony Parker\’s San Antonio Spurs jersey number 9 will soon join his partners Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan at the rafters of the AT&T Center come November 11.

The ceremony will take place on their home game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Ginobili got his retirement jersey last season while Duncan had his on 2016. Parker will be the 10th Spurs player to go up along with some NBA legends, David Robinson, Bruce Bowen, et. al.

Parker played a total of 17 NBA season with San Antonio including winning four NBA Championships. In 2007, he became the first European player to earn a finals MVP award.

Part of his NBA resume was his 6x All-Star appearances and one of the five elite players to record 17,000 points along with 7,000 assists. He joined the company of LeBron James, Oscar Robertson, Gary Payton, and John Stockton.

The awardee was a 28th first rounder pick by the Spurs in the 2001 draft class and has proven his worth in the league.

Parker also holds the most number of dimes in Spurs history with 6,829. He sits second with the most number of games played with 1,198 while also being the four highest scorers with 18, 943.

In a twist of fate, Parker spent his last season in the NBA with the Charlotte Hornets

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
