Former San Antonio Spurs icon and current Charlotte Hornets point guard Tony Parker has announced his retirement from the NBA, according to a report from Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated:

“I’m going to retire,” Parker told The Undefeated. “I decided that I’m not going to play basketball anymore.”

The Spurs selected Parker with the 28th overall pick in the 2001 NBA Draft. Alongside Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili, the 37-year-old went on to win four championships and one Finals MVP award with the team.

Parker joined the Hornets in 2018, signing a two-year, $10 million deal with the franchise. He had previously said that he would like to play for 20 seasons, but he'll fall just shy of that mark.

“A lot of different stuff ultimately led me to this decision,” Parker told The Undefeated. “But, at the end of the day, I was like, if I can’t be Tony Parker anymore and I can’t play for a championship, I don’t want to play basketball anymore.”

Parker sent out a heartfelt tweet to thank his fans for all of their support over the years. He says he still feels good enough to play, but he also felt that the time to hang up his basketball shoes was now.

“It is with great emotion that I put an end to my career,” Parker wrote in his farewell. “I worked a lot, enormously received, it was an incredible adventure! Even in my wildest dreams, I would never have thought of experiencing these exceptional moments as a team from France and the NBA. Thank you!”

A six-time All-Star, Parker played in 1,254 games over the course of his career, racking up averages of 15.5 points on 49.1 percent shooting from the field (32.4 percent from beyond the arc), 5.6 assists, 2.7 rebounds and just under one steal (0.8) in 30.5 minutes per outing.

According to a report from ESPN's Bobby Marks, Parker had a $5.25 million non-guaranteed contract with the Hornets for the 2019-20 season. The contract had a July 4 trigger date that was set to become fully guaranteed if he was still on the roster. Now that he's officially announced his retirement, the Hornets will waive the veteran guard before July 4th.

Without a doubt, Parker will be sorely missed in the league. The memories he left behind, however, will live on through the ages.
