Basketball. An XXL show for the retirement of Tony Parker’s number 9 jersey from the French team

It was perhaps the most anticipated moment for some, beyond the pleasure of seeing together, a rare thing, the two French teams opposed to Serbia, one of the major European nations. The ceremony of the retirement of the number 9 jersey of Tony Parker’s French team was a magnificent show with a pyrotechnic display as a conclusion before the singer Abou Debeing performed “Petit génie”.
Previously, President Jean-Pierre Siutat, his friends Boris Diaw and Nicolas Batum took the floor to recall the great moments in Blue of TP (181 selections from 2000 to 2016), four medals at the Euro including the title in 2013 after that of the juniors in Zadar in 2000 where it all began.
Before a video of some of his exploits, Tony Parker wanted to thank his coaches in the French team from Lucien Legrand to Vincent Collet, including Pierre Vincent, Claude Bergeaud and Michel Gomez and his special partners like Ronny Turiaf and Antoine Diot.
With a word for the new team between the old De Colo or Fournier and the young Wenbanyama and Coulibaly “of whom we can be certain that they will take up the torch. It is a real chance to believe in you.”
