Spurs’ Coach Gregg Popovich may not have approved of Tony Parker’s activity before the team practiced Tuesday.

He played tug of war with a jaguar. The jaguar was behind a cage, but she still gave the point guard a work out.

“It was tough, I had no chance,” Parker said. “I didn’t know she was that strong. It was the female, I can’t imagine how strong the male would be.”

Parker was at the San Antonio zoo to name the zoo’s two new jaguar cubs, an honor he won through a fundraising event at the Zoobilation Ball.
