If there was a chance that you could swap lives with a star in the NBA, who would you choose? Is it Jordan, the god of basketball, James, who has won both fame and fortune, Curry, who is always Happy, Irving who is saka, or Durant, the social master? If I had to choose, I would choose Chandler Parsons.
Why? Because this person, not only handsome and tall and rich, but also most of his money, is earned lying down, when others are trying to play ball, he is meeting with beautiful women in the open-air pool, drinking champagne, and then the salary is still correct. Such a life, you say, how many people are not envious?
This person is Chandler Parsons, nicknamed Qian, who is afraid of what is afraid of, and is a famous money fraud king in the NBA. Just today, Parsons announced his official retirement, ending a 9-year NBA career, and although he retired, the psychological shadow he brought to NBA managers may be difficult to remove.
So how exactly did Parsons "cheat" money? In the first 3 years of his career, Parsons played a total of 213 games, with a total salary of $2.67 million, more than $10,000 per game, the base salary was not as good, and in the next 6 years, he played a total of 227 games and made $124.5 million, averaging $550,000 per game. Good guys, play a game, play a game, play for more than 20 minutes, sweat, $550,000 is in hand? Scams aren't that efficient either.
Of course, parsons can make a group of shrewd NBA managers collectively pounce on the street, and he is still a very promising handsome guy in the first few years of his career. In 2011, Parsons entered the league as the No. 38 pick in the second round, when the team that selected him was the Rockets, and thanks to the Rockets, Parsons, who was not favored by scouts at the time, had a chance.
In the Rockets of that year, as long as you can do it, you have the opportunity to play, and Parsons is quite capable, in the rookie season, Parsons can cut the average 9.5 points + 4.8 rebounds + 2.1 assists, to know that he is only a second-round show, the playing time is not guaranteed, can cut such a comprehensive data, has made the Rockets management shout to find the treasure.
Subsequently, the Rockets management decided to give the young man a little more chances, so Parsons began to rise, in the rocket's third season, he can cut the average of 16.6 points + 5.5 rebounds + 4 assists, and he is very efficient, shooting 47% from the field and 37% from three-point range, which anyone who looks at it will think that this is a potential stock.
At the end of the third season, Perkins jumped out of the contract, Parsons' first contract was only 4 years and 3.7 million US dollars, and after hitting the price, he wanted a high-paying contract that matched his ability.
So, the Mavericks took a fancy to him, the Mavericks boss Cuban waved a big hand, gave him a 3-year contract worth 46.08 million US dollars, the Rockets because the boss is stingy, distressed about money, there is no choice to match.
In the Mavericks, Parsons played for 2 years, still brilliant, averaging about 15 points per game, and although Parsons suffered knee injuries and meniscus injuries during the 2 years, his attendance was not very bad, playing a total of 127 games, and played very the field.
In 2016, Parsons had just finished meniscus repair surgery, and he had a one-year contract to unexpectedly jump out of the contract, although he needed to recover from the operation, but he felt that this was a very good opportunity to get a bigger contract, so he resolutely decided to abandon the stable method after calculating the risk and went to gamble. He was right.
The summer of 2016 was a time period of garbage contracts, and Parsons' wave of venture capital was also richly rewarded, even if he was not completely cured, the Grizzlies also handed Parsons a 4-year, 94.44 million US dollars super big contract (James's salary in the same year was 23 million, Parsons' average salary was higher than James), and parsons was hooked, and Parsons naturally accepted.
Six months after signing with the Grizzlies, Parsons completely cut off the meniscus, directly reimbursed the season, and in the following days he gave the Grizzlies countless "surprises", in the three seasons of the Grizzlies, Parsons only played 34, 36 and 25 games, and averaged about 7 points per game.
If it is only because of injuries, helpless to play like this, the Grizzlies will not say that they are angry, the point is that every time Parsons is injured, his whereabouts are not gyms, not rehabilitation centers, not stadiums, but sunny beach bikinis, he also kept changing young models and actresses (including Kardashian) during the injury, life is extremely dashing, every time teammates are trying to play, the injured Parsons is happily spending time and drinking.
Where does the money for spending a lot of money come from? The grizzly bear paid him a salary. If I were the Grizzlies boss, I would be absolutely angry. So, in the fourth season, the Grizzlies finally survived until Parsons became an expiring contract, and immediately, Parsons was traded by the Grizzlies to the Hawks.
Then, at the Eagles, Parsons played his last game — on December 28, 2019, he played for the Hawks, shooting 0-of-4, with 0 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist , and then he was in a very serious car accident in which Parsons, who was hit by a drunken driver, suffered several permanent injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, disc herniation and lip tears, and since then, Parsons has left basketball completely.
Of course, not being able to play basketball didn't make Parsons demoralized, and four months later, Parsons was photographed playing multiple sports with Griffin. After all, basketball is just a spice of life, and beauty is a necessity for life.
And now, Parsons, who has earned enough money in his lifetime, can roam freely and carefree in the ocean of beautiful women.
Many fans look down on Parsons and scold him, but, ask yourself, parsons' life, which one doesn't want? It's like hanging on to life.
Although there was a car accident and an injury, these did not affect Parsons' normal life, occasionally playing a ball, playing a football or anything, but he could not adapt to the high-intensity NBA, which is also a good thing, a natural retirement, and it is said that he received a huge amount of compensation for NBA players in the car accident.
Originally Parsons still wanted to come back to play the game, so it was good, directly retired, for himself, for the NBA managers are a good thing, is in the year of the fight Parsons if the comeback to play well, in the end to give the contract, to give will not be continued to pit it, these problems managers do not have to worry.
In fact, if he does not officially announce his retirement, many people may think that he has already retired, after all, the last time he played in the NBA was two years ago. At this time two years ago, Parsons was still on a contract for as much as 25.1 million, but in the past six months, he had only played five games, averaging 10.8 minutes per game, with only 2.8 points and 1.4 rebounds. With little point in staying in the team and not being able to meet the trade requirements of other teams, the Hawks had no choice but to cut it.
During this period, Parsons was not claimed by any team at the base salary, but instead rubbed shoulders with the Grim Reaper. Parsons drove from home to the training gym, but unfortunately encountered a drunk driver, and after a series of impacts, Parsons' luxury car was badly damaged, and people were not much better. According to Yahoo Sports, the crash caused Parsons a number of serious and permanent injuries, including traumatic brain injury, herniated discs and tears of upper lip tissue, which undoubtedly accelerated his bid farewell to the professional arena.
Fortunately, the driver was arrested immediately because of drunk driving, and finally the appeal was successfully concluded, the amount of compensation was not cheap, coupled with the savings of the previous two major contracts, Parsons also had the confidence and capital to say goodbye to basketball completely.
After saying goodbye, looking back at Parsons' roller coaster career, if you measure his professional performance by a super contract, it is naturally unsatisfactory, but if you look at him by the standards of a two-wheel show, it is definitely a ceiling.
The impact of injuries is very large, lying in the last few years, the Grizzlies and Hawks are very miserable, took such a big contract, make money really a lot and then it is really not much help, especially the Grizzlies stage, the injury stop is very thorough As for the Rockets period and the Grizzlies period, anyway, the shooters are still barely qualified, the outside defense is also good, at least it is a qualified front, making money and beautiful women can be like clouds, NBA is really rare.
Hey, anyway, he retired, and it's really a pity. As for the career, according to the scoring, it is a good outside player, can really help the team to score three points, can also counterattack and sprint fast, after the injury affects the state is difficult to say, it is difficult to play, but it is easy to get into bed. 9 years of wild earnings of $127 million, cattle people! Goodbye, Pa Shuai!
Playing in the parent team and earning back value in other teams, to this day, there are still people who will lament Parsons' talent and potential, at that time, if you don't leave the Rockets' running bombing system, the achievement will definitely be higher. But then again, without leaving the rocket, he may not be able to sleep until he wakes up naturally in his lifetime, counting money until his hands cramp. If you have money, what are you afraid of? Parsons is a winner in life.
Talking about Parsons' career now, it may be that he thinks of his "high salary and low ability", lying down to make money, or that there are more peach news off the court than on the court in recent years (after all, the guy is really handsome).
As a rookie, Parsons spent the first three years of his career with the Rockets, playing in 213 games, averaging 14.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 34.5 minutes per game, earning $2.7 million.
But in the six seasons since then, he has played for the Lone Ranger, Grizzlies, and Hawks, and the data has dropped sharply, and the outbreak of injuries in the season has stopped and stopped, relying on the impression of "low salary and high energy" in the first three seasons, and frequently getting big contract opportunities. Over the next six seasons, he made a total of $124.5 million. Eventually, it changed from "low salary and high energy" to the representative of "high salary and low energy" in the NBA.
Parsons' career can be said to be an argument for how important "first impressions" are.
NBA players who make the most money, play the least games, and lie down to make money. The rich and handsome during the Rockets period, the occasional stunning mavericks, the high salary and low energy in the Grizzlies period, and the bleakness of the Eagles period! Parsons, who has not scored for more than 2 years, he himself also realized that there will be no team to sign him again, and it is estimated that he will not be angry, so, announcing his retirement, Parsons has played in the league for 9 seasons, averaging 12.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game Remember when he and Jeremy Lin formed the Rockets double gun? Full of memories!
This data, basically played by the Rockets, 9 years of NBA career, Parsons salary of $127 million, in addition to the Rockets, Mavericks, Grizzlies, Eagles are victims!
