Former NBA player Chandler Parsons, 33, officially announced through Ins that he was ending his 9-year NBA career.
This news came unexpectedly.
In January 2020, he suffered serious, permanent injuries in the car accident, including traumatic brain injury, herniated discs and cleft lip (the car accident and its lawsuit have also been closed, and the compensation is very large), which also led to the end of his career, depending on when the problem was announced.
I know that at this point in time, too many people will make fun of Pa Shuai's experience. But Digo is not! When an athlete who gives us memories closes the window of his career, he only hopes that he will live well on the next piece of his life "on the court".
If I had to define Parsons' NBA career as a player, I would use this sentence:
He was both fortunate and unfortunate.
Luckily, he earned enough money to support his life after retiring from the army.
In his three seasons with the Rockets, he played a total of 213 games, averaging 14.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 34.5 minutes per game. In all three seasons, he earned a total of $2.7 million.
He left his peak to Houston.
Over the next six seasons, he played for the Lone Rangers, Grizzlies, and Hawks, playing in 227 games, averaging 11.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 26 minutes per game.
In those six seasons, he made a total of $124.5 million.
If an athlete manages his finances correctly, this large sum of money can allow him to live a comfortable life of feeding horses and chopping wood to travel around the world or picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan.
If he likes to go to nightclubs, he doesn't have to worry about not drinking good wine.
Someone once said, "For 99% of players, a championship ring is nothing." This statement is very true, especially for players who are not superstars.
Basketball is your career, and it's right to want to win a championship. But isn't it all about making yourself a better life by playing?
You may not know that Parsons and McCaw are players on the same day. If you had to choose, would you choose to do McCaw?
Therefore, Parsons' peak of the stadium stayed in Houston, and the peak of his life stayed in Memphis.
Life winner, this life is enough!
From a playing point of view, Parsons is indeed unlucky.
In the past few years, he has spent time in bed, one is a hospital bed, and the other is understood by everyone.
Without injuries, rocket fans would have achieved more in his career than the "poor man's version of James." After leaving the Rockets, there are too few memories of his court highlights.
When he was in his prime, the Rockets could shoot 10 three-pointers in the second half.
Also, I remember that everyone was constantly arguing about who was the best among the three small forwards who were about to get a new contract, Hayward, Parsons and Batum.
These 3 fronts were all promising at the time. But from now on, they have had many twists and turns over the years, but they have made a lot of money...
Coach, he had the opportunity to have a more successful career, he had the opportunity to still stand on the NBA at the age of 33.
Many people question Parsons because he didn't put in enough effort after his injury to try to regain his athletic form and write the story of rebirth.
A lot of the news during his recuperation period was partying and playing with girls, and the Kardashian family, Victoria's Secret Angels, and supermodels were not left behind.
From the perspective of professional attitude, what the rich and handsome have done is indeed debatable.
However, what we need to face up to is that the grizzlies gave him 94.8 million in 4 years, all of which are your wishes, and there is no deception. He averaged 14+5+3 assists per game when he signed, shooting 49%, 41% and 70% of the three shots.
Many people like to make fun of this, but don't forget that the Grizzlies have been trying to find a good small forward, and when they have been looking for 4 years but no one can sign, the 14+5+3 data is worth giving a big price.
The team has no choice but to gamble.
If Parsons are healthy enough to play the full years of their contract, a starting line-up of Conley, Allen, Randolph, as well as Gasol and Parsons, is indeed ok.
Rich and handsome can increase the overall talent in the front line, which is not wrong at all.
In the end, it can only be said that the Grizzlies are not lucky. However, we can't just use the results to judge the initial decision, and now we think the managers are stupid because they didn't win... There's really nothing to spray.
No matter how much the fans joke or scold or how much praise Parsons gives, he won't give us half a cent. But in the end, I thank him for bringing us the memory of the rocket.
In the 13-14 season, he was a forward helper on the side of the Modern group.
In the playoffs, Parsons' last 0.9-second layup against the Blazers almost allowed the Rockets to pull their teeth out of portland's home stadium and score a steal of seven.
But the final script is a sword to seal the throat of Li's director.
The picture of Lillard's unsuccessful cap also became parsons' last memory for the Rockets in a red suit.
Now that I mention it again, things are not human, and the past is vividly remembered.
