@TheDunkCentral @Eurohoopsnet He doesn’t want to coach, he just wants to sleep with his players’ and assistants’ wives.

If he is the coach of your team, don’t post your gf/wife and keep them away from the stadiums.

While Parker had a legendary playing career with the Spurs, he has had his fair share of controversies. Notably, his marriage to actress Eva Longoria ended in 2010 amid reports that he had engaged in an affair with Erin Barry, the estranged wife of his former teammate, Brent Barry.

Despite denials, the scandal was widely reported in the media and was a central factor in their divorce. Also, in 2007, a French model alleged an affair with Parker. The Spurs star denied the claims, sued the gossip site X17online.com for defamation and won a retraction.

What’s next for Tony Parker?

Tony Parker has reportedly already started the process of earning his State coaching diploma. On Thursday, he led the practice session of the Parker Academy’s U15 squad, instead of its usual coach, Bastien Jacquillard.

He aims to follow in the footsteps of other European coaches who have made it to the NBA, such as Jordi Fernández, Tuomas Iisalo and Darko Rajaković.

Parker was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2023. He was a key cog of the San Antonio Spurs dynasty alongside Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili. Parker won four titles, including being named the 2007 NBA Finals MVP.
