Parker: I played football at the age of 6-9. In 1991, I watched Jordan and the magician’s finals and decided to play basketball instead.
Recently, Tony Parker was interviewed by Andscape.
When talking about when he fell in love with basketball, Parker said, “When I watched Michael Jordan play, when I saw him fighting with Magic Johnson in the NBA Finals in 1991, I fell in love with this sport. Because before that, I am played football. Football is the first sport in France. I kicked from 6 to 9. Then I watched the 1991finals, I saw Jordan, and then I decided to change. Later, Dream Team (Dream 1) came in 1992, which completely changed my life.”
