Since last night, Tony Parker is the all time top scorer in Eurobasket history and as he said after his historic 62nd Eurobasket game this is something that he never expected.
“When I started my career, I never thought it would end up like this in my life,” Parker, now aged 33, said. “My career, my plans, I could never have imagined it. It’s been like a dream. When you’re talking about the leading scorer in history, winning a EuroBasket, all the individual records, you don’t appreciate the significance of all the things you win…it’s an honour to be in a conversation for the best European player in history. You don’t think of that when you start. You have all the names, guys like (Toni) Kukoc, (Drazen) Petrovic who stood out in European basketball. It’s bizarre to think of someone from France being near number one.”
