Tony Parker: “Thank you, San Antonio”

It has been exactly a month since Tony Parker (a.k.a. the Spurs’ greatest point guard of all time) signed an offer sheet for 2 years, $10 million dollars to join the Charlotte Hornets — which just so happens to be owned by his childhood idol: Michael Jordan. The semi-surprising move brought an end to his prestigious 17-year run with the team that drafted him 28th overall in 2001: a move that would become an all-time steal for draft night.

Little did the Spurs know they were drafting a player who would become a six-time all-star, four-time All-NBA player, and help lead them to four championships, including earning Finals MVP in 2007.
