What comes to mind when you think of Chandler Parsons?
Words such as "money is afraid of anything", "rich and handsome", "high salary" and so on
Always appears at the front end of domestic search engines
These are ridiculous keywords
It seems to reflect this guy as a player as well
It doesn't seem so serious in everyone's mind
But anyway
Parsons retired yesterday
These lace news about him
It is estimated that it will be difficult to see the update again
We might as well look back and look back at his career
Most people only saw his three seasons with the Grizzlies
A lot of garbage contracts were born that summer
The Grizzlies' contract with Parsons is one of them
They signed a four-year, $94.44 million contract
However, three seasons in the Grizzlies
Parsons played only 95 games
He took nearly $70 million in salary
And his season-high average of just 7.9 points per game
Judging from the data, he is completely unworthy of this contract
The next season he was traded to the Hawks
Not even the cheerleaders on the field
Directly pressed on the bench to prevent play
Still, he got a salary of more than $20 million
This also made netizens give him a nickname
"What are you afraid of when you get the money?"
Everyone laughs at Perkins, but everyone wants to be Perkins
Yeah, who wouldn't want to make tens of millions of dollars easily
But Perkins didn't mean it
After all, no one knows when injuries will come
He was still in the Calfs
Mavericks gave him a three-year, $46.08 million contract
To be honest, he played well in those two years
The game averaged around 15 points
Played 127 games
Attendance is also passable
But he suffered a knee injury and meniscus surgery every two years
He has cast a shadow over his entire career from injuries
And it continued until retirement
As for the four seasons that followed in the Grizzlies and Hawks
Needless to say, everyone knows it too
Attendance doesn't add up to more than two seasons at the Mavericks
And basically spent in recuperation
Then the time shifts to January 2020
Parsons was optimistic in the face of the interview
His wounds had healed
In the summer he can continue to play
But the world is unpredictable
On January 23 of the same year
He was in a car accident on his way to the training center
Hit head-on by a drunk driver
In this car accident
Parsons suffered multiple permanent traumas
Anyway
Everyone already knows it at this moment
Parsons' career is over
Parsons' entire career, though
Can it really be evaluated with a simple sentence of "money is gained, afraid of anything"?
I don't think that's okay
Parsons put himself in his best years
And the most cost-effective salary dedicated to the Rockets
Do you remember?
Before Lillard's death
It was his layup that gave the game a chance to drag it into game seven
He had just entered the league
Hand over 15+5+5 data
How many people felt at the time
This guy is an absolute piece of the championship puzzle
You must not forget
That game against the Grizzlies
Parsons blasted ten three-pointers at halftime
Stunned everyone
This also sets a record
And this record was not equalized by "Buddha" Thompson until 2018
It can be seen that Parsons is definitely not the kind of useless mediocrity
I believe that if there is no impact of injuries
His career will definitely be very different from what he is now
It's a pity that there are no ifs
Parsons was officially retired yesterday
All we can do
I only wish him a happy retirement
And pray
There are fewer players in the world who are trapped by injuries
Finally, let's count it
Chandler Parsons played 440 games in his entire career and earned $127 million
In the rocket's first three years, Parsons played 213 games
In total, he made $2.67 million
He then made 227 appearances
Earned $124.5 million
It's really tempting to laugh but I can't laugh
