On January 19, Beijing time, former NBA player Chandler Parsons officially announced his retirement, ended his 9-year career, and updated social media, posted the same game photos with Harden and Nowitzki in the past, and said a deep farewell: Entering the NBA is the only dream, thank you to all those who have helped me; Harden and others bless: my brother.
Parsons wrote on his social media: "Brother, I don't even know how to tell my story... The last few years have been crazy, and I've looked at a lot of things from the right perspective. I've been through a lot of ups and downs, and I'm grateful for every one of them. The only thing I want to do in my life is to be an NBA player. I didn't even realize, or rather I never thought, that I just wanted to play at the highest level of play. I can proudly say that I did it! Even though my career wasn't perfect, it was an interesting experience, and I want to thank everyone who has helped me achieve my dreams at this point.
To my family, my friends, my middle and high school basketball programs, and the University of Florida, I want to thank you for preparing me for this journey. To the Rockets, Lone Rangers, Grizzlies, and Hawks, I thank you for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to continue my dreams. To all the staff, trainers, medics, coaches, teammates, agents and, most importantly, the fans who supported me, thank you. I'm definitely missing all of that, and the flights, the video replays and the races, but I'm excited to start the next chapter in my life. Thank you all, I love you. CP25
Parsons, 33, was also closed in a car accident in January 2020 and his lawsuit, which was well paid, and in that car accident he suffered multiple serious and permanent injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, herniated discs and cleft lip, which also led to the basic end of his career.
Parsons was selected with the 8th pick in the second round in 2011, last playing in the NBA in the 2019-20 season. He has played for the Rockets, Lone Rangers, Grizzlies, Hawks and other teams in the NBA, played a total of 440 games in his career, averaged 12.7 points, 4.5 boards and 2.7 assists in 30 minutes per game, and earned a total of $127 million in 9 years of his career.
