On January 19, Beijing time, a report from the famous Shams, former rocket player Chandler Parsons, familiar to Chinese fans, announced his retirement from basketball! The "rich and handsome" player, who is loved by fans to call Coach, has made $127 million in his career from the NBA. In particular, the second big contract given by the Grizzlies is one of the most junk contracts in NBA history. But this did not prevent Pa Shuai from making money, and he also became an idol of many workers - money is more troublesome than less.
Parsons debuted with the Rockets as a rookie with the 38th overall pick in the second round, growing steadily with the Rockets in the first three seasons of his career, becoming a steady scorer averaging 16.6 points, 5.5 boards and 4 assists per game. In the summer of 2014, Dallas Mavericks owner Cuban offered him a three-year, $45 million qualification offer contract, and the Rockets chose not to match, and Parsons came to Dallas.
In his first season with the Lone Rangers, Parsons performed quite well, averaging 15.7 points and 4.9 boards per game, although it was down from the Rockets, but it was not unacceptable. But at the end of the season, Parsons suffered a knee injury season reimbursement. Playing a few months the following year, Parsons tore a meniscus in his right knee and subsequently underwent arthroscopic surgery, which was reimbursed again the season. Surprisingly, at the end of the season, Parsons jumped out of his contract and tested the waters of the free market.
What's even more incredible is that Parsons became a free-market bounty! The summer of 2016, one of the NBA's wildest offseasons, saw countless premium contracts, but there was no doubt Parsons was the biggest winner. The Blazers took the lead and offered a 4-year maximum salary! However, the Grizzlies then offered a higher salary, and Parsons, who was finally recovering from surgery, was offered a four-year, $94.8 million top salary contract to sign the Grizzlies.
The next thing everyone knows, 3 years of playing for the Grizzlies, Parsons played a total of 95 games, averaging about 7 points and 2 boards per game, becoming a talk of ridicule for fans. Constant injuries have also destroyed the former Rockets. In his final season, Parsons played just five games. In January 2020, Parsons suffered a car accident, suffered permanent trauma, and basically said goodbye to the NBA. Today, Parsons has received huge settlement compensation, plus the $127 million he earned before, and he can continue to enjoy life after retiring! Sigh, this is the winner of life!
