WATCH: Spurs’ Tony Parker ‘battles’ tiger as Boris Diaw looks on
Whoever thinks Tony Parker is not the best point guard in the NBA, probably in the world, needs to rethink his whole existence.
Stephen Curry may be the reigning MVP, Derrick Rose was an absolute beast when he was healthy, Chris Paul has been a terror, Russell Westbrook is as explosive as a nuclear missile, but all of them pale in comparison to the Spurs’ French point guard.
Combined, those four have only one NBA title, Curry’s, while Parker has four.
Not to mention Parker has duked it out with a tiger.
Yes, a real tiger which can rip out little French people to shreds.
Parker did the man vs. beast insanity on Fort Boyard, a French game show, where he had to evade the big cat while inside a pedal-powered cage-car hybrid.
Fort Boyard uploaded the video on its YouTube channel as a teaser for its July 25 episode.
Parker’s goal is to fill a container with water while evading the tiger with French national teammates Boris Diaw, Nicolas Batum, and Ronnie Turiaf, supply the water the point guard has to put in the container.
Making things worse was the tiger puncturing one of Parker’s tires immediately as it left its cage.
As Parker tries to get away from the tiger, preferably with his limbs intact, Diaw mocks the beast from a very safe height.
Parker’s ordeal might seem strange but he plays for Gregg Popovich who once yelled “I want some nasty!” during a huddle and with Tim Duncan who practically ignored him during his rookie season. IDL
