Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Mar 21, 2014 5:09 pm

Tony Parker has become the majority shareholder of ASVEL of the French league.


Parker had served as the team's Vice President of Basketball Operations.


“I decided to buy the whole club. Now I’m the majority shareholder and from the end of May I will be president of the Asvel," said Parker.


“I started to have a real history with this club, I am involved in the City of Lyon, with my foundation, my basketball camps. I told myself that if I wanted to apply my vision, my philosophy, inspire me that I know the Spurs to only one benefits Asvel up there I had to be president to impose it all.”

Well I guess the journalist who wrote this article couldn't quite well translate French into English. Just a google translate fail...

J’ai commencé à avoir une vraie histoire avec ce club, je me suis impliqué dans la Ville de Lyon, avec ma fondation, mes camps de basket. Je me suis dit que si je voulais appliquer ma vision, ma philosophie, m’inspirer de ce que je connais aux Spurs pour qu’à l’Asvel on en profite un maximum, il fallait que je sois président pour imposer tout ça.

I started to really be a part of this club, I got involved with the city of Lyon, with my foundation, my bball camps. I told myself that if I wanted to apply my vision, my philosphy, use what I learned with the Spurs to really benefit ASVEL, I needed to be president to impose all that.
