BREAKING: Tony Parker has announced he is RETIRING from the game of basketball after 18 seasons.

He reports, "I can't be Tony Parker anymore"

SAN ANTONIO - Former San Antonio Spursguard Tony Parker, a four-time NBA champion, told ESPN's The Undefeated that he is retiring after 18 seasons.

"I'm going to retire... I decided that I'm not going to play basketball anymore," Parker told The Undefeated.

Parker retires at the age of 37 with 1,254 regular-season games played while averaging 15.5 points, 5.6 assists and 2.7 rebounds.

The Spurs took Parker with the 28th overall pick in the 2001 NBA draft. He formed a core with Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili that won four titles. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound Parker also was the first European to become an NBA Finals Most Valuable Player in 2007.

The six-time all-NBA selection played for the Spurs from 2001-18 and played his final season with the Charlotte Hornets this past season.

Parker told The Undefeated in an interview on June 1 in San Antonio that he is at peace with his decision to retire. He wanted his retirement announcement to be released Monday.

"A lot of different stuff ultimately led me to this decision," Parker said. "But, at the end of the day, I was like if, I can't be a Tony Parker anymore and I can't play for a championship, I don't want to play basketball anymore."

Parker will be best known for being a member of "The Big Three" for the Spurs with Duncan and Ginobili while being coached by Gregg Popovich.

Parker, Duncan and Ginobili won titles together in 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2014 while playing together from 2002-16. One of the most successful trios in NBA history, they played over 1,000 games together. Duncan retired in 2016 and Ginobili retired in 2018 and both have since had their jerseys retired by the Spurs. The Spurs are expected to retire Parker's No. 9 jersey as well.

Parker told Duncan and Ginobili he was retiring recently during lunch in San Antonio.

"They were like, 'Are you sure?,'" Parker said. "And I was like, 'Yeah, I'm sure.' And so, they're like, 'If you're sure, man, I'm so happy for you. I'm so happy for. We had a great run and can't wait to beat you up on tennis and spending more time together...

"We're always going to be remembered together. But it was great to share that moment with them. It's crazy. We came from three different backgrounds and came together."

Parker is already busy in retirement.

He is opening the Tony Parker Adequat Academy international school in his hometown of Lyon, France, in September. He is currently the owner and president of ASHVEL, a French professional basketball men's and women's club, based in Lyon. While Parker intends to spend more time working closely with ASHVEL and his new school, he also plans to continue to have a home base in San Antonio. Parker has dreams of being an NBA owner one day.

"That is one of my dreams," Parker said. "Right now, I'm focusing on ASHVEL and having a great experience. We're building a new arena right now and we're gonna enter the Euroleague and the Euroleague is growing very fast. But the ultimate is to be one day an owner in the NBA. And so, I'm already having talks with different people and they're looking at what I'm doing in France.

"It takes a lot of work, but I love it. I love it. So, maybe one day, if it's the right, ah, opportunity and it's something that I definitely want to do, I'm just gonna wait for the right opportunity."

Parker had said in recent years that he wanted to play 20 seasons in the NBA. By retiring, he ends up two seasons shy of that goal. Parker turned down a player's option for next season with the Hornets that would have ρáíd $5.25 million next season. Don't expect the busy Parker to change his mind and return to the NBA, even if he could go back to the Spurs.

"I'm at peace with it," Parker said. "It's been a long time that I've been in peace with that decision because I've prepared myself for that, too, with all the stuff that I'm doing, the two teams I own in France and my international school opening in September. I have so much stuff going on that I've always been at peace with that decision.

"When it comes, I'll be ready to leave it to the young guys. The game of basketball game is for young guys. So, that's why for me, I understood very early, that when it's time to (retire), I'll be fine with it."
 
Anthony Davis has focused on the Lakers and Knicks as the two desired long-term destinations.

The Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks and Dallas Mavericks are interested in signing Kemba Walker in free agency if he doesn’t re-sign with the Charlotte Hornets!!
