The speedy Frenchman scored 19,473 points and dished out 7,036 assists during his decorated basketball career, ranking sixth and second all-time among international players in NBA history.
Parker was also an accomplished global competitor, with several LNP and FIBA accolades on his resume. And it should come as no shock he is seen as the greatest player ever to hail from France.
