Oddball honors the San Antonio Spurs latest pair of Hall of Fame inductees with former Spurs Video Coordinator and the NBA's Mo Dakhil, to talk about Tony Parker's odds-defying 18-year career that netted four championships, multiple franchise records and helped build a legacy and love-hate partnership with Gregg Popovich that would lead to Pop becoming the winningest coach in NBA history. Oh, and in case any of you want to claim the Spurs are still boring... Amin & Charlotte will convince you otherwise, with some Hype Me Up! Learn more about your ad choices.
