Nothing is going well for the Spurs at the start of the season, who are currently posting a terrible series of 12 consecutive defeats. However, it is in this pitiful context that the franchise has just issued a press release relating to… Tony Parker.

New member of the Hall of Fame, TP9 is preparing to receive yet another ovation from the supporters he has so often delighted. This, while seeing his retired jersey inherit the “Hall of Fame” mention and be erected a second time on the ceiling of the Frost Bank Center. A necessarily special evening for Spurs Nation, which nonetheless remains concerned by the current results of Gregg Popovich’s men:
Will they win a game before then?

Will they win a game by then?
If the Spurs and their fans don’t have much to celebrate about their team’s start to the season, they can always fall back on the exploits of their former players. In this respect, Tony Parker and the new ceremony which will be dedicated to him could serve as clarifications.
