Tony Parker has been one of the best players in the entire NBA playoffs, which is one reason why he may have received death threats following the Sours victory in Game 1 over the Memphis Grizzlies to take a 1-0 series lead in the west finals.
According to NBC Sports, Parker received death threats following the game and the police are investigating them. The report says that the Bexar County Sheriff's office got a call threatening Parker's life before the game ended, saying that there was a threat. Police upped security at the arena before the game was over and the call came from a pay phone.
The report speculates that it wasn't serious, but police have to investigate and ensure the safety of layers in the game. Parker and the Spurs have been excellent in the playoffs and the 105-83 victory in Game 1 showed exactly why as the team limited Zach Randolph to just two points and they will try to do that again on Tuesday night.
The two teams are fairly matched and although the Grizzlies were knocked down hard in Game 1, they will be ready to dominate again on Tuesday night with Marc Gasol.
