<div><p><strong>&ldquo;I owe everything to basketball. It was my favorite pastime and my greatest passion. It became my profession, and I became part of its history&mdash;maybe even the history of sports in general&hellip;. I never could have imagined such a destiny.&rdquo;</strong>&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;Tony Parker&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><strong>For the first time in the English language, the beloved Spurs point guard&nbsp;opens up&nbsp;about his life and career in the NBA, on the international stage, and beyond.</strong>&nbsp;</p><p>By the time he was three years old, Tony&nbsp;Parker&nbsp;was already dribbling a basketball in his hometown of&nbsp;Gravelines&nbsp;in France. In his bedroom, surrounded by posters of his idol Michael Jordan, he imagined himself making it to the NBA and leading his team to a championship.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Everyone told him to forget it. He was too short, too skinny, too slow. Besides, no NBA team would ever turn its fortunes over to a point guard from Europe. After a 20-year professional career, four NBA championships, and an NBA Finals MVP award, it&rsquo;s safe to say Tony Parker has succeeded beyond&nbsp;all of&nbsp;his dreams.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />This candid, conversational autobiography takes fans on a whirlwind tour which includes Parker&rsquo;s early life in France, his years in Texas alongside Gregg Popovich and Tim Duncan, and his time on the red carpet as part of one of Hollywood&rsquo;s most glamorous couples.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br /><strong>This is an essential read for all basketball fans and anyone who believes in following their dreams.</strong>&nbsp;</p></div>
