I've been through so many 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 just want to play at the highest level of play. I can proudly say that I did it! ”
Parsons also wrote: "Even though my career wasn't perfect, it was an interesting experience, and at this moment, I want to thank everyone who has helped me achieve my dreams." To my family, my friends, my middle and high school basketball teams, 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 chasing my dreams. To all the staff, trainers, medics, coaches, teammates, agents and, most importantly, the fans who supported me, thank you. I'll definitely miss all of that, and those flights, video replays and races, but I'm excited to start the next chapter in my life. Thank you all, I love you. CP25”。
