To everyone's shock and disbelief, Tony Parker ended his 17-year career with the Spurs at the end of last season and joined the Hornets. The 4-time NBA Champion came off the bench in Charlotte and averaged less than 10 points per game.

Apart from his last season with the Spurs, his 9.5 ppg production this year with the Hornets was the lowest since his rookie season. Despite getting over 18 minutes of playing time per game, Parker recorded career-low numbers in both rebounds and assists, taking just above 8 shots per game on an average. He has been averaging single digits in scoring for the past two years straight.

It's safe to say, he is no longer the Tony Parker that teams used to fear. Nearing the end of his basketball career, Parker is not sure if he'll return to the court next year much less to the Hornets.
