Tony Parker is a true paint eater - BDN Photo
HAMPTON – Tony Parker is a 6’9,” 270 lb sophomore from Miller Grove high school in Lithonia, Georgia. He was selected last May to be a part of the twelve-member inaugural USA Basketball Men’s Developmental National Team. Parker plays both center and power forward for the Georgia Stars AAU program. After a 21 point, 8 rebound game against the Charlotte Royals at the Boo Williams Sportsplex, he spoke with Blue Devil Nation about a variety of issues.
How was your season?
Well, it was good, but tough. I got injured at the end and basically missed the postseason. I had a couple of injuries, so that was tough.
You looked completely healed. Is everything cool for you, health wise?
Oh, yeah. Everything’s better now, but the timing was just bad. We won twenty-two straight and, with seven sophomores, we should be able to compete for a title in the future.
Can you talk about the experience of making and playing on the USA team?
Oh, that was a great experience. It was probably the best I’ve had so far. There was so much competition. I mean everybody could play and everybody went hard. My roommate, Johnny O’Bryant, is out here right now. He was playing so well.
