It’s only a short sentence in the middle of an interview where Tony Parker is brewing different subjects such as The Last Dance, the death of Kobe Bryant or the introduction of Tim Duncan to the Hall of Fame. But they go all the less unnoticed as the American site The Undefeated has, logically enough, decided to take it back to make it the title of the interview. “The ultimate goal is to one day own an NBA franchise”Parker says, adding “With OL Groupe, we dream big”.

“We are fascinated by these franchise experiences, Jean-Michel Aulas already declared to The team in December, when the Reign FC was bought. So yes, we came to learn too, to look for things, to understand in order to better master. It’s a good experience. I do not know if it will be conclusive in all respects but the investment is worth trying to make others eventually. We come with the hope of being able to invest more in the United States. We look at all this because when we invest a lot, we can lose a lot but also gain a lot. “

Tony Parker is part of this speech and extends it by declaring to The Undefeated that OL Groupe will watch out in the medium term for the opportunity to invest in an NBA franchise, if one of them opens its capital. “It’s a strong possibility, he declares. Right now, we have other goals and objectives. But in five to ten years … I have always been the kind of person who dreams big. I have already had discussions with (Jean-Michel Aulas) about that. “ This is also why, he says, he plans to keep his main residence in the United States, despite his investment in Lyon.
