Tony Parker played 1,1198 of his 1,254 NBA games in a San Antonio Spurs uniform and on Monday night the franchise is honouring their all-time assists leader in a special way.
The Spurs opened up their week with a tilt at home with the Memphis Grizzlies and it’s a special night dedicated to Parker, who’s having his No. 9 retired by the franchise later in the evening. With it being the 37-year-old’s big night, some of his former teammates and current Spurs showed him so love well before tip-off.
Patty Mills was Parker’s teammate for eight seasons, while Marco Belinelli and Parker were teammates for two seasons, and they both showed up to the arena rocking Parker’s No. 9 jersey.
Parker sits second on the franchise’s all-time games played and points lists, and owns the franchise record for most assists in a Spurs uniform, as he becomes the 10th player in franchise history to have his number retired.
