LONDON — Tony Parker knows his audience. He knows the British reference points, and what they care about, which is why he responded the way he did when an English reporter asked him about Gregg Popovich.
Parker didn’t compare him to Red Auerbach or to Vince Lombardi. He also didn’t compare him to Vinny Del Negro.
Parker compared him to to Sir Alex Ferguson.
For those who don’t know: Ferguson manages some for Manchester United.
