Tony Parker has been a member of the San Antonio Spurs since the 2001-02 season, but this year marks the first time in his 17-year career that he’s coming off the bench.
Although he’s no longer the All-Star he used to be, the four-time NBA champion still has plenty of things to teach his younger teammates and that’s exactly what he’s doing this season.
Considering the 35-year-old is a six-time NBA All-Star and a one-time NBA Finals MVP, Parker is probably used to all sorts of fan requests by now. However, once Parker’s eye caught a fan’s sign that requested a hug for the fan's grandma, he came through and made his way into the stands to give her a hug.
Parker ended up playing 17 minutes on Tuesday night and finished with five points, three assists and one rebound in the Spurs' 106-104 victory over the Denver Nuggets.
