Tony Parker (09/09/14)

Tony Parker, San Antonio Spurs Guard

Tony Parker was drafted 28th overall in the first round of the 2001 NBA draft by the San Antonio Spurs. Parker has played his entire NBA career for the Spurs. He is a 4-time NBA Champion (2003, 2005, 2007, 2014), 6-time NBA All-Star, and 2007 NBA Finals MVP.

Tony Parker was signing autographs at Tissot in New York City. When he arrived there was a mob of people outside taking pictures. Luckily, I was one of the first people on line. The line move very quickly and I got to meet Tony within a few minutes. Tony signed multiple items and took pictures with everyone who asked. He signed my basketball and a photo that Tissot provided. I told Tony that I hope he comes to New York. He said he doesn't think that's going to happen and we both laughed together.

This was such a rare appearance, since Tony plays basketball in Texas. It was a pleasure meeting a future Hall of Famer and adding his autograph to my collection. Thank you Tissot Fifth Avenue Boutique in New York for hosting this great event.
