Tony Parker went toe-to-toe with a jaguar in tug-of-war

— -- In his 15 years with the San Antonio Spurs, Tony Parker has earned a reputation as a point guard who isn't afraid to drive into the lane and go up against bigger players. But his latest endeavor at the San Antonio Zoo on Tuesday might be his boldest move yet -- playing tug-of-war with a jaguar.

According to the San Antonio Express-News, the 34-year-old was on hand to name two of the zoo's new jaguar cubs, but things quickly took a funny turn when Parker decided to play tug-of-war with a jaguar that was behind a cage.

Parker, who said he's a big advocate of the zoo and has always had a love for animals, told the San Antonio Express-News that he wasn't expecting such a tenacious battle with the jaguar.

"It was tough, I had no chance," he said. 

Luckily for Parker, his biggest battles will resume on the court when the Spurs host the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night at 9:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
