Early life

Professional career
Paris Basket Racing (1999–2001)
After playing in the French amateur leagues for two seasons, Parker turned professional and signed with
San Antonio Spurs (2001–2011)
First championship (2002–2003)
"...[When] we gave [Tony Parker] his first workout, we didn't think he was tough enough – and we sent him home. And then we set up another interview, another workout... and he was fantastic in that one."
-Gregg Popovich, after the 2007 championship[24]
Before the 2001 NBA draft, Parker was invited to the San Antonio Spurs' summer camp. Coach Gregg Popovich had him play against Spurs scout and ex-NBA player Lance Blanks. Parker was overwhelmed by Blanks's tough and physical defense, and Popovich was ready to send him away after just 10 minutes.[25] But after seeing a "best of" mix tape of Parker's best plays, Popovich decided to invite Parker a second time.[23] This time, Parker made a better impression against Blanks; the Frenchman later described Blanks as a "one-man wrecking crew".[25] But while Popovich decided that Parker was worth the gamble, the Spurs still had to hope that other teams would not pick Parker during the draft. Parker's name was barely mentioned in the pre-draft predictions, and the point guard was drafted 28th overall by the Spurs on draft day.[23]
After initially playing backup to
In 2002–03, Parker played in all 82 regular-season games as San Antonio's starting

Despite winning a championship with the Spurs, doubts lingered over Parker's future. The Spurs had attempted and failed to acquire
During the
"He told me, 'Coach, I'll play in the NBA and, one day, France will recognize me as a great player'. It's incredible how, at 18 years old, he could have such confidence. I thought he could play in the NBA, but not that he would become a player of the importance he is today."
-Claude Bergeaud, who coached Parker on the French junior team[16]
Third championship (2005–2007)
Parker was selected for the first time in his career an

Falling short and injury (2007–2011)
"When there is talk about the best point guards, sometimes they don't talk about me. But that's not my main motivation. They can talk about Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, Deron Williams and Chris Paul. I still have the most rings."
-Tony Parker[37]
In the
San Antonio got off to a rocky start in their
With the Spurs looking to provide a more solid supporting cast in the 2009–10 season, they acquired Richard Jefferson, Theo Ratliff, Antonio McDyess, DeJuan Blair, and Keith Bogans.[47] Parker injured his hand during the season and missed 26 games. The Spurs qualified for the
In the 2010–11 season, the Spurs compiled a 12-game winning streak to go 13–2 after 15 games. The Spurs were 29–4 after 33 games—one of the ten best starts in NBA history[49]–and led the league at 35–6 halfway through the season.[50] Parker and the Spurs ended the regular season as the first seed in the West for the 2011 NBA playoffs, and were second in the league (to Chicago). Despite finishing with a 61–21 record, however, the Spurs could not avoid being upset in the first round, 4–2, by the eighth-seeded Memphis Grizzlies.
ASVEL (2011)
During the 2011 NBA lockout, Parker signed with ASVEL, the French basketball team in which he owns a stake.[51] Parker's salary was about $2,000 a month. He was quoted as saying, "I'll be playing nearly for free."[52] He also paid his own insurance, which reportedly cost $250,000 for three months.[51]
Return to San Antonio (2011–2018)
Best record in the NBA and finals upsets (2011–2013)
During the
In their second game of the 2012–13 season, the Spurs faced the Thunder in a rematch of the previous Western Conference Finals, and Parker hit a game-winner to secure a win for the Spurs. On 10 December 2012, Parker got his first career triple-double after 825 regular-season games against the Houston Rockets in overtime with 27 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists. He was the 4th player in NBA history to have gone 800 games or more into their career before their first triple-double, joining Karl Malone (860), Patrick Ewing (834), and Cedric Maxwell (824).[54] Parker was named Western Conference Player of the Month for the month of January 2013 for leading the Spurs to a 12–3 record, and the best record in the NBA. He averaged 21.9 points per game and 7.9 assists per game that month while shooting 56.3% from the field. He became the first Spurs player to receive the honor since Tim Duncan in April 2002.[55] On 21 May 2013, Parker recorded a career-high 18 assists to go with 15 points in the Spurs' Western Conference finals game 2 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.[56]
In game 1 of the 2013 NBA Finals against the defending champion Miami Heat, Parker hit a clutch jump shot off the glass with 5.2 seconds remaining in the game, securing a 92–88 victory for San Antonio. The Spurs eventually lost the series in seven games.
Fourth championship (2013–2014)
In May 2014, Parker, alongside Manu Ginóbili and Tim Duncan, tied the record for most wins in playoffs history by a trio of players playing together; the record was previously held by the LA Lakers trio of Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Michael Cooper at 110 wins. The Spurs went on to beat the Thunder in six games and advance to the NBA Finals for the second straight year. San Antonio would once again face the Miami Heat and would win the 2014 NBA Finals in five games. This victory gave Parker his fourth championship and the fifth championship to the Spurs.
Final years with Spurs (2014–2018)
On 1 August 2014, Parker signed a three-year, $43.3 million contract extension with the Spurs.[57][58] The Spurs finished the 2014–15 season with a 55–27 record, but lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Los Angeles Clippers in seven games. Parker struggled in the playoffs due to injury and averaged 10.9 points a game on 36% shooting.

The Spurs made it to the playoffs and lost to the Golden State Warriors in 5 games in the first round.
On 11 November 2019, the Spurs retired Parker's No. 9 jersey.[65]
Charlotte Hornets (2018–2019)
On 23 July 2018, Parker signed a two-year contract with the Charlotte Hornets.[66] He made his debut as a Hornets player on 17 October 2018, recording 8 points on 4/8 shooting, 7 assists, and 3 rebounds while coming off of the bench in 19 minutes of action in a 113–112 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.[67]
