NBA Star Tony Parker Calls It A Career

The Spurs "Big Three" of Duncan (21), Parker (9) and Ginobili (20) brought four NBA titles to San Antonio.

The last remaining player of "The Big Three" for the San Antonio Spurs during their glory days of winning NBA championships is calling it a career.
Tony Parker, who was drafted by the Spurs back in 2001 from France, played 18 seasons, 17 of those with San Antonio, announced his retirement from the game on Monday.
For whatever reasons, Parker opted to play with the Charlotte Hornets in his 18th and final season this past year.  However, he will be forever tied to "The Big Three" era along with future Hall-of-Fame players Tim Duncan (retired following 2015-16 season) and Manu Ginobili, who retired last year following the 2017-18 season.
Parker is a future Hall-of-Fame player himself and was part of four championship teams in San Antonio. The Spurs won it all in 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2014 with Parker playing the point guard spot.

Congratulations on a great NBA career and four NBA championships . . .

Rest well Tony, you have earned it.
