It is at his home in San Antonio that Tony parker celebrated his entry into the Hall Of Fame, and the former Spurs point guard made it big as Manu Ginobili, David Robinson are present among TP’s friends and family. We meet Thierry Henry, Cut Killer…
In his personal amusement park, the future Hall Of Famer takes a deep dive with his two brothers, TJ and Pierre. A dive into “another galaxy” to use his words on his entry into the Basketball Hall of Fame.
” The retirement of jersey, it was something incredible, especially when you know the tradition of the NBA, but there, I think it is tenfold “, he judges for example. ” The Hall of Fame is still a step above because, when you just look at the Spurs, there are 10 jerseys retired and there are only 4 in the Hall of Fame. So that’s where you see it. They are doing a split in the United States and I feel like you are entering another galaxy, because there are very, very few players who enter the Hall of Fame. I feel the pressure and I’m very nostalgic, because I write my speech and I watch games, it’s weird. However, I had big things like Legion of Honor or National Order of Merit, but the Hall of Fame… I can compare it to my meeting with [Barack] Obama at the White House. The kind of stuff where you don’t show off too much and where you have to be ready. »
It will be overnight from Saturday to Sunday, to be followed live on BeIN Sports.
