Kids today will probably never understand what a baller Tony Parker was. As a lakers fan in the 2000s I hated this dude cuz he was always killing us, but I have nothing but the utmost respect for him and the entire spurs dynasty. What an incredible rivalry.
You hated him I hated the whole spurs team as a lakers fan also but you have to respect that spurs team but I hated Bruce bowen the most😂😂lakers 4 life💜💛💜💛
i hated both Lakers and Spurs as a Kings fan that time
Stephen Jackson though...Dude thinks he was better than Tony and Manu.
Laker fan too, but Parker got us sometimes
He was Kyrie Irving before Kyrie Irving. Once he went into score mode, you couldn't stop him.
So happy for Dirk and Tony two of my three favorite international player together with Manu. Well deserved.
No love for Pau?
Very underrated PG of all time. Should be brought up more
@@albundy_thelegend Right after scoring the four touchdowns for Polk High you should have retired from public life.
The one thing I will say, it's very very nice that Gregg Poppovich is still here with us and was able to see Tim Duncan, Manu Ginoboli, and Tony Parker all retire and enter the Hall Of Fame. His Big 3 that brought him multiple titles and he gets to see them be bestowed the greatest honor in basketball.
I was thinking the opposite on the Lakers side
Such a travesty it feels so wrong that Kobe isn't in the audience or introducing Gasol
@@tpsamYeah man that sucks.
Don't forget the Admiral. He was there for 2 Championships and the Spurs Culture started with him.
Evidence that the Spurs are a world class organization.
Don't forget about David Robinson the Spurs culture more or less started with him he was there for 2 championship's! David and Tim were almost unstoppable together the twin towers and you know it's a crying shame how much the nba has changed and went away from the traditional big man, now you have 7 footers trying to play PG and hanging out at the three point line like KD and Wemby and Jokic! I like the 80's and 90's and 2000's NBA after that I think it's more or less gone down hill!!
One of the best hall of fame speeches ever - straight to the point.
How this man isn’t top 75 is beyond me.. Let’s go TP! Happy for you
Him and manu both should be!!
Facts That’s Insane How They Put Chris Paul Over Him 😂🤦🏾♂️
@@daglitchh1329bro stop chris paul never had tim duncan or manu on his team and a coach like pop cp3 deserve to be there
@@JscrizleCP0 Rings shouldn’t be over Tony Parker
@@Jscrizleyes. He only had tyson chandler, david west, peja, blake griffin, chauncey billups, james harden, devin booker.
Grew up a Lakers fan, but these 3 spurs definitely deserve the hall of fame .props to the greats.
Tony Parker well deserved HOF spot in history
Manu, Timmy and Tony, the best trio in NBA history. Add Pop to that as a coach, such great cool and down to earth guys
Nah mj pippen and Rodman better
@@sir.muffiniii70113 compared to 5
@@sir.muffiniii7011no they weren't they only played 3 years together and rodman only averaged 6 points bro 😂 duncan parker ginobili are the greatest trio period ✌
@@sir.muffiniii7011 nope nobody is better than the trio of the spurs. The greatest duo of all time would be MJ and Pippen
@@KCiAzN Manu, Timmy and tony are the winningest trio ever clearly they are better than Kareem, magic and worthy
Wow. He really nailed that speech. So happy to see all of my Spurs make it in! Go Spurs!
What a great speech this was! So much class, humor, and humility! Congrats to TP!
Humility ?? Definitively not a TP quality...
@@SEAME7 What do you know about it?
Damn the way Tony's career developed into a HoF career is pretty remarkable. Damn as a Lakers fan, this dude was a menace to go up against. Huge congrats Tony! certified legend!
He always killed us 😂
We still got them 4-0 in the Lakeshow playoffs during there 15-1 playoff run
@@winwin6661he didn't play with the Spurs that year
As a laker fan, thank you for all the amazing years of constantly battling LA for a decade. You guys built the team correctly and Parker was one hell of a point guard.
As a Lakers fan myself, I totally agree with you on this bro, I'm also a Lakers fan from, and still here in San Antonio. Lol 45 years old, I've been a fan since the showtime Lakers as a kid.
as a Lakers fan, remove Anthony "street clothes only 1 chip" Davis from the NBA75
and add Tony or Manu in there!
Lakers and Spurs basically owned the 00s
TP is criminally underrated, he was one of the best PG of his era if not the best and I feel wasn’t given enough praise at the time. 🙏
Played for small market.
Tony is one of the rare players thats loved by fans but hated by alot of former players. Usually its the other way around
he's hated for good reason 🤷♂️ had an affair with a teammate's wife and was a general asshole
Damn Thierry Henry is also there!!
Never mind the haters.... you should stay focus on the positive mate!!!
Most guys like him, think it’s just Barry who doesn’t ☠️ Pimp Tony
Him and TJ Ford were the fastest point guards 😂 well deserved for Tony Parker true champ 🔥🔥
I still remembered TP's underhand finger roll, tripped and almost fell down and yet, still made the shot and the free throw, against the miami in the finals. Truly amazing player and a well deserved HOF career ❤
tony Parker was my favorite nba player I almost cried when I heard him retire
Its about time! The Spurs wouldnt have been as successful as they were without Tony Parker. Glad hes finally getting his flowers. 🙌 🇫🇷
Well deserved! Incredible speech too
Great speech by a great player, was an honor to see him hoop
It's awesome to watch Tony being inducted into the HOF. I remember watching him for the first time in May of 2002 in Seattle when he scored 23 points. He was just a rookie.
Bravo tony qu'elle incroyable carrière et qu'elle humilité un immense champion qui a tant apporté au basket français. Merci tony tu nous a fait rêver. Ta place au hall of fame est plus que méritée.
Legend
What a speech😢
Tony Parker is one of the most underrated PGs in NBA history. I truly believe if Tony played for another team instead of the Spurs, he'd be the leader and 1st option, had better stats and more All-star appearances, and would probably be recognized as a top 10 PG in NBA history. But he chose to instead play for the Spurs for the most of his career, a team where sacrifice and team play are prioritized over individual play, especially as the main PG of the team. Not a lot of players would be willing to be in this role for almost his entire career, but Tony fitted this role perfectly and helped us won 4 championships. For that, he will forever be a Spurs legend and one of the greatest PGs to ever play this game. Thank you TP9!
He's already a top 10 PG but I hear you. Given their own team both him and Manu would be top 5 players at their position. With less rings though lol.
And if another PG played for the Spurs instead of TP...it would have be the same result for San Antonio : 4 Championships !
He most likely doesn’t win a finals mvp however if he played on another team at best he wins a. Ring as a role player. Tony situation in SA worked out for the best
He should get top ten award for fkn his team m8s wife
@@SEAME7not really most of player play for individual stat ! So no…
Congratulations Tony Parker❤One of my favorite basketball players from the San Antonio Spurs!!! So proud of you!!!!
Loved your speech
Man i feel really old now. I was in college when these guys(spurs team) were in their peak battling my lakers in the early 2000s. Now they either grey or bald, and im not saying it in a derogatory way. Congrats Tony on your induction and to the rest of this class!! Y'all are legends ❤
What a French class act! We ll always miss you, Tony! Congrats on your great Hall of Fame Career. 👏🏾 👏🏾 you 🎉✨️🫶🏾🥇🍷🏀
Something I will never forget is watching the 2007 nba finals as a teenager and seeing a 25 year old tony Parker when I honestly thought he looked 59 years old in those finals. And to this day he looks the exact same 16 years later so at 41 now he still looks 59.
The greatest tear drop of all times, no one could stop it 💯
just heard more from him in that speech than in his whole career. respect.
Well deserved! Congratulations, Tony Parker! 👏
Wow, so much ease with the spotlight. He was like a comedian out there almost, with his delivery and timing. Which he was great at in his game as well: delivery, and timing.
Parker brought the heat to his HOF speech. 🔥🔥🔥 lmao
Thierry Henry is in the building 🔥
As a french citizen living in the USA I can say that he is so underrated
I am so grateful for Tony.P to get to the HOF. I had the chance to grew up in the end of 90s and 00s and see two of my favorites french sportsman do great. Tony.P at spurs in nba and Titi (Thierry Henry) in football in Arsenal. Both are so loved in the French community
One of the best HOF Speeches. Filled with humor, appreciation and grace. Very happy to see TP go into the HOF. Without his contribution San Antonio might not be as successful as they are. Well deserved.
Been a real nice run down memory lane over the last few years with the Hall as a Spurs fan. I moved to San Antonio in 2003 from Florida and was amazed to find out that I could watch a Spurs game live for like $12. They were right down the road and I was a hoops junkie, so watching them was a no brainer.
I knew Tim was great, but I went to all the big games, and he was just better than everyone else. Which is why he won MVP. Didn't know anything about Tony, but it was clear he could ball and that sweet little floater in the lane was unstoppable. OG David Robinson and this young buck Manu, who I had watched in a national game and had my eye on. He had this crazy way of attacking the paint(euro step) and was so exciting to watch. Even good old Steve Kerr hitting 3's when it mattered most.
Truly magical season I'll never forget.
Congratulations Tony, you deserve it!
Go Spurs Go!
Great speech! No doubt the best trio and coach! Congratulations, Tony!
Tony Parker got jokes. Who knew dude was so effortlessly funny.
That’s French people
Truly miss the old Mavs/Spurs rivalry. So underrated.
Well deserved, he was a menace and one of the best point guard to play the game
Great speech and very inspiring ❤. Much respect to you Tony Parker.
As a Laker fan. Nothing but love for San Antonio ❤ 💯
Something just hit me about this HOF class---Pau won it all in 2009 & 2010, Dirk in 2011, Wade in 2012 & 2013 & Parker (Pop) in 2014 (6 years straight).
One of the funnest players to watch!
This man Tony Parker had all this built up to unleash them shots at his hall of fame speech 😂😂😂😂😂
The last PG to win FMVP before Steph Curry , and that was in 07
Why the heck am I crying at all of this class’ speeches 😢😅 👏🏼
Tim, manu and tony one of trio …what a player…👍👍👍
Parker LIVED in the paint. People just don’t know. He was the most fearless point guard I have ever seen. The upmost insult that he is not in the top 75. FOUR time champion 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆
French people are proud of You. we love you Tony, god bless you
very detailed with less than 17 minutes.... good speech TP....
"When you say your dream to somebody and they don't laugh at you, you don't dream big enough"
Love the relationship Parker has with his pops and brothers. No words needed to be said. His emotions were enough.
A very heart-felt, well-made speech. I got a smile plastered on my face while listening to Tony's story. Tony's truly one of the best point guards ever.
Definitely one of the best point guards of all time..my top 5 for sure
i think this is the best speech of the night. Congrats LEGENDS!
Best HoF speech in any occupation I've ever watched. Funny, emotional, and respectful. Well done TP!
Incroyable, unbelievable Tony. A true legend !! Très fier de voir un français au hall of fame !
Happy to see Tim ,Manu, Pop and Paker and David Robinson in the hall of fame and seeing them grow up and love my city of San Antonio, TX
"I have alot of French people in town" 😂😂
I’ll never forget going to three spurs mavs games in the mid 2000’s just how good Parker was, to see it in tv was one thing but to watch the smallest guy on the court dominate in person was different, congrats Parker and much deserved
Quel discours incroyable mon idole quand j'étais petit, félicitations à Tony et merci pour ce message positif que tu donnes 🙌🏽
Hats off love the speech! Brings back memories!
How many players could bring Thierry Henry to a Basketball HOF induction?!
French style the guy has his own statue in front of the Emirates stadium in London. Won everything with the french football national team, a legend on his own right. Snapshot of french sport during the TP enshrining HoF speech.
I never knew that Tony Parker was a joker and pretty damn charismatic. Great speech.
Look half Time speech against Spain in euro final !
He was a rapper in the 2000s
Daaamn that was as textbook perfect a HOF speech you could have
Well deserve Tony!!!
I love how stoic his oldest child is and he just casually puts his hand up to acknowledge what his dad just said. That was legendary. Wouldn't be surprised how successful he's going to be
Love watching him played.
Nobody played like TP. Super unique amazing talent. Congrats.
Tony really know how to speak. Whata speech. I could listen to it all day.
He was a rapper.
12:35 i remember when we beat cleaveland sorry LeBron 🤣
Best speech of this 23 class. Not too long, fun, emotional, was not reading the screen etc… Masterclass Tony. Congrats 🙌🏼
I liked it but wade made me cry and miss my dad it's about Time we get some shine
As someone that was born in San Antonio and grew up in Seattle to see how 3 of my 4(Tony, Timmy and Gary Payton. The Admiral being my favorite of all time) favorite players of all time are interconnected was pretty cool to know that TP doing his thing against GP made TD respect TP. Go Spurs Go!
They left him off the 75th Anniversary Team but the Hall of Fame couldn't be denied. Congratulations T9-9
75th is nothing, tony accomplished more than those players in the spot
@@jonathan6935Kyrie didn’t make it either being the best ball-handler of all time and a champion
HOF couldn’t be denied I loved the way you wrote that.
As a Rockets fan….. congratulations Tony on joining the HOF… you deserve it 👏🏽
🙏 Congrats to Tony Parker well deserved
Thanks for memories Tony Parker! I loved watching the Spurs with you, Tim and Manu! Your finishing ability on NBA2K was unstoppable! I would drop 50+ using your character every game and unbeatable with the Spurs! An absolutely remarkable career, thanks!!!!🎉
I didn’t know Thierry Henry and Tony Parker were close like that. That’s mad bro
It was an excellent speech. Thanks Tony. You were one of the best.
I love that RC Buford got some love I repeated that pert many times he look like he was about to cry
Beautiful speech
I think this is the best speech in this class both genuine and funny, not other Hollywood script speech
Great Speech 🙏 congratulations Tony 🎉
Congrats Tony and family. I played with Tony sr. in Amsterdam Netherlands. Great time, great guy.
I loved Parker’s HOF speech. Laughed and cried plenty.
Congratulations tony and pau for being hall of famer . special my favorite Coach Pop.
They actually managed to dig out Tim out of Hybernacy for this 👌
😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭🫣😷❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
spurs legends toni.. BEST spurs team 💕💕💕
One of the most underrated PGs ❤
Manu, Timmy and Tony, the best trio in NBA history, truly happy for Dirk as well, but Gregg Popovich which we are glad is still with us, and was able to see all 3 of them retire and enter the HOF , not exactly the same year but all of them nonetheless.
Had no idea Tony Parker was so funny. Congratulations my Dear. My favorite NBA Team the Spurs until Tim Duncan retired. We had a great run. Three most low key players no fanfare their games spoke for them. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Things like this, brings tears of joy…. I love the NBA!!
Congratulations Tony
And to all our(your)
NBA family…
