Retired for a few years, Tony Parker is not unemployed after his NBA period. The former member of the Spurs remains very active, since he has yet to unveil a new project, which should interest you.
Still very active since his departure from the NBA, Tony Parker has no plans to stand idly by. President of ASVEL and involved in many projects, the Frenchman decided to add another to his CV: a podcast. Journalist Mary Patrux, of BeIN Sports, confirmed the information on Twitter. The idea is in partnership with Spotify, and TP will not be alone:

Tony Parker’s goal with his new project
A podcast will be an opportunity to learn more about Tony Parker, but also his guests. The perfect moment to listen to anecdotes, and “to mark the new generation”. That is what the former Spur told the CNews site when discussing this project with Spotify. He explains in particular his ambitions.
We are in the transmission, he adds. The nice thing about a podcast is that you can listen to it whenever you want. I hope that it will be of use to young people and that it will give them strength for them to succeed in their careers.
Thierry Henry will be the first guest, but we can expect people, like Teddy Riner, and why not French basketball stars.
Claire Hazan, podcast director at Spotify in France, is in any case delighted to count on Parker’s contribution:
I had a secret list of personalities who could come on a podcast format, and at the top of the list was Tony Parker. He is one of the favorite personalities of the French. He is very involved, especially with young people. I knew that as a host (presenter) he would have enormous sympathy capital.
Tony Parker arrives on Spotify, with a nice podcast project. Note that the first episode is already available since November 22, and that others are quickly planned. Get out your helmets!
