The 36-year-old point guard spent 17 seasons with San Antonio Spurs, before moving to the Charlotte Hornets this offseason. Four-time NBA Champion, Tony Parker is without a doubt a future NBA Hall of Famer as he forged an incredible career alongside longtime partners Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili who have both retired in recent years.

The 2007 finals MVP is currently being used as a backup point guard to Kemba Walker in Charlotte, averaging under 20 minutes per game for the first time in his long career. For the past four seasons, Parker's minutes have hit a career-low going from 28 MPG the season after his last championship, to 27 MPG to 25 MPG to the current 19 MPG.

With injury troubles hurting him, Tony Parker still has the leadership and mind of an NBA champion but his body is beginning to fail him and that could see him retiring at the end of this season.

Career Stats: 15.8 PPG, 5.7 APG, 2.8 RPG, 49.2 FG%
