Tony Parker, along with Gregg Popovich, will soon join Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili in the Basketball Hall of Fame. The point guard who won four titles in San Antonio and was named Finals MVP in 2007 will get a well-deserved honor that no one should question.
It’s easy to say that now, but looking back on Parker’s journey, there were many times he faced criticism and scrutiny. The fact that he persevered and triumphed through it all is what makes TP so special and why his mark in the league will be indelible.
In today’s NBA, it’s common to see foreign players dominate the league.
