William Anthony Parker Jr., better known as Tony Parker, is a French-American former professional basketball player who left an indelible mark on the NBA and international basketball. Born on May 17, 1982, Parker began his career in France with Paris Basket Racing before being drafted by the San Antonio Spurs in 2001. Selected 28th overall, Parker quickly established himself as the team's starting point guard, becoming a key figure in the Spurs' dominance throughout the 2000s and early 2010s. His speed, court vision, and leadership helped the Spurs secure four NBA championships in 2003, 2005, 2007, and 2014, solidifying his legacy as one of the greatest European players in NBA history.

Parker's individual accolades are as impressive as his team success. He was named to six NBA All-Star games and earned spots on three All-NBA Second Teams and one All-NBA Third Team. His crowning individual achievement came in 2007 when he was named the NBA Finals MVP after leading the Spurs to victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Parker also finished his NBA career as one of the top performers in playoff history, ranking ninth in scoring and fifth in assists. His No. 9 jersey was retired by the Spurs, a testament to his lasting impact on the franchise.

In addition to his NBA success, Parker had a distinguished international career with the French national team. He was instrumental in France's victory at EuroBasket 2013, where he was named the tournament MVP after leading his team to a gold medal. Parker also became the all-time leading scorer in EuroBasket history in 2015, a record that stood until it was surpassed by Pau Gasol in 2017. His contributions to French basketball have made him a national icon and one of the most respected figures in European basketball.

After retiring from the NBA in 2019, Parker transitioned into a successful business career, becoming the majority owner of ASVEL Basket, a top team in France's LNB Pro A league. His influence on the game continues through his leadership role with ASVEL and his involvement in various basketball-related ventures. In recognition of his outstanding career, Parker was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on August 13, 2023, further cementing his place among the basketball greats.
