Tony Parker became the majority stakeholder of French basketball club ASVEL Basket in 2014.
It was a move that could have been made as nothing more than a prestige purchase, but Parker has approached his commitment almost as a tutorial, one to prepare him for the second stage of his life.
When not running plays for the Spurs on the court, the future Hall of Fame point guard is running ASVEL as president, overseeing day-to-day operations and making managerial decisions for the team he once played for as a minority owner during the 2011 NBA lockout.
“The best thing was to be in the office every day during the lockout and see the everyday operations,” Parker told The Undefeated.
