Charlotte Hornets: Tony Parker officially retires from NBA, iconic career over

I am upset.

I knew this day was coming, and I knew I’d never be prepared for it. This morning, Charlotte Hornets guard and former San Antonio Spurs icon Tony Parker told The Undefeated that he is retiring from the NBA after playing 18 seasons in the league.

Parker is at peace with his decision, and noted that if he isn’t playing for an NBA Championship, he doesn’t feel quite right. Charlotte missing the playoffs had to have hurt Parker, but he did acknowledge the organization and said he had a “great time” with the Hornets.
