Tony Parker is no stranger to playing in high altitude.
Through the years, the San Antonio Spurs point guard has had his fair share of battles in the Mile High City when visiting the Nuggets. But nothing can prepare him for this recent set-up.
Parker joined a group of French players as they went up against a select team of Swiss league ballers. These two teams played under unique conditions as the court was situated up in the Swiss Alps. That’s over 3,400 meters above sea level.
The French All-Star shared his thoughts on the event, via Eurohoops.net.
“I’m always up for new challenges, so when Tissot, my long-term partner suggested I play a game at the top of Europe, I thought it was a great opportunity to do something exceptional. We don’t often get to play often in such extreme conditions.”
The view couldn’t be more breathtaking, and of course, the players had to wear more gears and protection than ever given the extreme conditions they were under, making it a very rare basketball experience.
Here are some photos of the game:
