Summary

We live on location from the Spotify studios in NYC for NBA draft week — and joined by Sir Tony Parker live from Cannes. Q and D touch on the draft this week, while France’s own Victor Wembanyama talks with Tony to get his thoughts on his fellow Frenchman and future Spur. Tony explains why he thinks San Antonio is the perfect fit for Victor, and also discusses his own draft process, which included a fall all the way to pick 28, where he landed with the Spurs. Tony touches on other draftees and looks forward to his Hall of Fame ceremony at the end of the summer. It’s a Tony Parker draft special, with France on top of everyone’s mind. Tune in!
