He also hopes that he will not incur any injuries that can slow down the team's season.
The Spurs endured a tough post-season last year, eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Los Angeles Clippers.
Now, the Spurs are a completely revamped team with a big addition of LaMarcus Aldridge as they make a case as the best team in the league.
For Parker, who averaged 14.4 points and 4.9 assists last season, he expressed his eagerness for the coming campaign.
"Super excited, super excited. That's why I can't wait to start with the national team and make sure we take care of business, and then go to the Spurs and try to go back at it and try to get another ring. It's been an unbelievable summer for us. LaMarcus is going to help us a lot. I'm so happy that Manu and Timmy are back. And so we're going for a last try, a last crack at it to try to win it all," he told France 24 English.
Parker has won four titles in his 14 years in the league. He was picked 28th overall by the Spurs and averages 16.9 points and 5.9 assists a game in his career.
