After recently becoming a Hall of Famer, Tony Parker will be honored by the French national team.

A few days before the French men's and women's teams will set foot in the Paris Olympic Games in July 2024, a special event will be organized, during which Parker's no. 9 jersey will be retired, the French Basketball Federation (FFBB) announced.

The men's NT should play a friendly game before the Olympics. As documented by Le Progres, it is rumored that the opposing team could be the USA.

Parker is a 6-time NBA All-Star, 4-time NBA champion, and 2007 Finals MVP. He was recently elected into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame as a member of the 2023 class.

Another member of the same HOF class, Dirk Nowitzki, got his jersey retired during the EuroBasket 2023.
