For NBA players, injuries are inevitable. They have to face high-intensity training for a long time, and the confrontation on the field is also very fierce, so every player will encounter injuries to a greater or lesser extent. Stars like Yao Ming, Roy, Hill and others have all stopped their peaks early because of injuries. In addition to injuries, many stars have also encountered accidents, and Parsons, the richest coach in the league today, is one of them. So how is he doing? It has been 2 years since the car accident, and after the big injury, I am too fat to recognize it, and I want to return to the NBA to seek gold.
The rich and handsome Parsons is not small in fame, and he has a very dreamy career start. As a second-round show, Parsons was drafted by the Rockets for 11 years. Also because he played for the Rockets, Parsons received a lot of attention early on. Not only that, Parsons has a handsome face and is considered to be the most beautiful player in the NBA, so it quickly became popular. At that time, the Rockets were weak forward, and Parsons averaged 9.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game in the rookie season, which was remarkable.
Since then, he has continued to improve rapidly, and by the third grade, Parsons has been able to cut the average of 16.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4 assists per game, shooting 47% from the field and 37% from three-point range. At that time, Parsons, aged 23, was full-fledged, efficient in attack and defense, and had the ability to do three points with one hand, and was a rare all-round small forward. So he got the favor of the market, the Lone Ranger gave him a big contract of 3 years and 46.08 million US dollars, and Parsons completed the counterattack.
He played for the Lone Ranger for 2 years, and in 16 years, he averaged 13.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, shooting 49% from the field, which can only be regarded as a good starting small forward. That's when he jumped out of the contract and tested the free market. The Grizzlies decided to gamble and offer Parsons a four-year, $94.8 million deal. The story that follows, the fans all know. In 3 years, Parsons played only 95 games.
By 2019, Parsons had been traded to the Hawks. With an annual salary of $25.1 million, he only handed over an average of 2.8 points per game, and was laid off shortly after. Last January, Parsons suffered a serious car accident that left him with a concussion, torn lip and serious lumbar spine that ended his NBA dream. However, after saying goodbye to the field for more than a year, Parsons actively treated and trained. Recently, Parsons publicly said that he wants to return to the NBA stage, so he is training and maintaining his body shape to seek a comeback.
However, if you look at Parsons's recent photos, you will find that he is no longer the young and handsome little fresh meat he was. Today's Parsons has a beard and a seriously out-of-shape body. Putting on the sunglasses could hardly recognize that this was Parsons, looking at his arms and stomach, it was obvious that there were no lines of the past. He is 31 years old and the most famous creator of garbage contracts, and with a serious car accident, it is too difficult to return to the NBA for gold.
