Tony Parker is a very, very rich man. So he could drive pretty much any car that he wants to drive. But during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live last week, the Spurs point guard admitted that he frequently drives a Back to the FutureDeLorean that he received as a 30th birthday present from his friends back in 2012. And earlier this week, Parker did an interview with For The Win and explained why he's such a big fan of his DeLorean.

"I love the movie," he said. "I'm a big fan of the trilogy. Growing up, I watched a lot of movies with my brothers, so it was pretty cool when I got the gift from all my friends for my 30th birthday."

The car is cool. But as far as vehicles go, it's definitely not the most technologically-advanced ride on the market right now. So it's probably (almost!) time for Parker to retire the DeLorean and stick to driving something that was created in the 21st century. Just saying.
