"C'est un honneur", a-t-il déclaré, lui qui n'a jamais eu l'honneur d'être porte drapeau de la délégation française. "Quand Tony Estanguet, (patron du comité d'organisation des JO), m'a parlé d'ambassadeur, pour moi c'était logique, parce qu'il sait ce que je fais à Lyon, avec mes clubs de basket".
Tony Parker, qui souhaite encore jouer deux saisons, débutera réellement dans cette fonction lorsqu'il se retirera des parquets. Pour justifier cette nomination, l'ancien kayakiste a expliqué que TP avait le charisme et l'aura pour parler à la jeunesse tricolore. https://twitter.com/tonyparker/status/1008729891284668416Les stats en carrière de Tony Parker :
