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

Kyrie Irving courts LeBron James to join Mavs

The stories have been LeBron wanting Kyrie back, but this time it’s Irving who reached out for James to come to Dallas and play for the Mavericks next season.

The report quickly went viral as a potential Irving-James-Doncic big three is now brewing.

However, trading for LeBron James means a lot of players and future round picks for the Mavericks.

It can be recalled that James was trying to land Irving in the middle of the regular season, but the Lakers failed to do so which put Irving from Brooklyn to Dallas to team up with Luka Doncic.

They fell short of a playoff spot and now it seems Irving seriously wants another trophy with him luring James for an epic reunion.

Whether this fails due to the cap restriction, Irving could still possibly join James in the Lakers as LA looks to revamp its squad despite reaching the conference finals after a slow start of the season.
