Parker is one of several former San Antonio Spurs legends entering the Hall of Fame, including Gregg Popovich, Becky Hammon and Pau Gasol.

During his 17 seasons with the Spurs, Parker averaged 15.8 points, 5.7 assists and 2.8 rebounds per game while shooting 49.2 percent from the field, including 32.4 percent from deep. Parker finished his NBA career with six All-Star appearances, four All-NBA selections, four championships and a Finals MVP in the 2006-07 season.

In international play for France, Parker won the FIBA EuroBasket MVP in 2013. He was also a two-time FIBA Europe Player of the Year (2013, 2014).

During the 2007 NBA Finals, where the Spurs defeated a young LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers team in four games, Parker averaged 24.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists en route to his Finals MVP award. He shot an outstanding 56.8 percent from the field in that series, including 57.1 percent from 3-point range.

Parker already has his No. 9 retired alongside Tim Duncan's No. 21 and Manu Ginobili's No. 20 in the Frost Bank Center's rafters. Now, he'll be joining his two long-time teammates and coach Popovich on the biggest stage in basketball forever.
