In a few weeks, Tony Parker and Jul should totally ignite La Canebière! We reassure you, we are not talking about music, but rather about an exceptional charitable event. A great evening of sport in perspective.
If Tony Parker will always keep strong ties to San Antonio, where he spent the best years of his career and where he is considered a living legend, he is increasingly present in France. It must be said that he has a lot to do as president of ASVEL, since the Rhone club aims to become a European benchmark, and to achieve this, it is better to be closer to the action.
Because he is more often in France, the greatest French leader of all time can afford a few appearances to which he had not necessarily accustomed us. On October 13, he will be on the lawn of the Vélodrome in Marseille for a charity match for the benefit of UNICEF. He will be accompanied by many big names in sport and entertainment, including rapper Jul, and the atmosphere is already shaping up to be electric in this legendary stadium.
Decidedly, Tony Parker has a thing for great coaches… After having reigned over the NBA with Gregg Popovich, TP will have the chance to be under the orders of Arsène Wenger for this “Heroes Match”, the opportunity for all his fans to see what he’s worth with a ball in his feet. And if he wants to train by then, he can always make a phone call to his great friend Thierry Henry, who will undoubtedly have some precious advice for him.
For 90 minutes, Tony Parker will be able to do a good deed, while having fun and giving it to the fans. He will also be able to discover some young talents who are rising, and why not approach Jul and Naps, the two stars of the Marseille scene, to talk about a return to the world of rap. Who would say no to a new album from the Spurs legend?
Tony Parker is a great basketball player, he will have the opportunity to show that he also has talent on a football field. Whoever is announced as the future successor of Jean-Michel Aulas at the head of OL will have a little pressure.
