In recent days, the hottest NBA news, 33-year-old basketball player Chandler Parsons announced his official retirement through social media! Parsons' retirement statement goes something like this: "My lifelong dream was to be an NBA player, and now I'm proud that I did it, my NBA career wasn't perfect, but it was still a fun experience," and Parsons thanked everyone for it.
My first reaction when I saw this news was that this product had not yet been retired, and I don't know how many people and I reacted the same. It's true that it's been an unknown amount of time since the last time parsons was seen in the news about the race.
The NBA made his career famous with the Houston Rockets
Parsons was born in a good basketball climate, and both grandfather and father had the opportunity to play professional basketball, but eventually chose to work in finance. When Parsons gradually showed his basketball talent as a child, his grandfather was very supportive of him entering the professional basketball world.
In the 2011 draft, the Rockets selected Chandler Parsons with the 38th overall pick in the second round, Parsons, who was 2.06 meters tall in high school and college, showed his all-around ability in scoring and rebounding, and after playing only 6 games in the rookie season, he squeezed out Chase Badinger to become the team's starting small forward, and the Parsons circle in the Rockets period had countless fans, and he could attack and defend in the game and had a good three-point shooting rate, parsons at this time was very inspirational, A second-round show with an annual salary of less than $1 million can average 16.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4 assists per game, such a very cost-effective player, the Rockets naturally want to keep him.
Get tens of millions of annual salaries and go away to Dallas Mavericks
In 2014, the Rockets waived the $960,000 team option to execute Chandler Parsons' rookie contract in the final year to avoid Parsons becoming a full free agent after his rookie contract expired. Parsons became a restricted free agent at this point, and the Rockets could match any other team's offer for Parsons. It didn't take long for the Dallas Mavericks to offer Parsons a $45 million contract for 3 years, and after much weighing, the Rockets finally decided not to match the offer contract that the Mavericks gave to Chandler Parsons, so the Mavericks and Parsons officially signed.
Parsons, who got tens of millions of annual salaries, got a lot of attention in the Mavericks, and the rich team owner Cuban was also very optimistic about him, often taking him out to meet the world, Parsons played two seasons in the Mavericks, in fact, the performance was OK, averaging 15.7 points and 5 rebounds per game in the first season, 13.7 points and 4.7 rebounds in the second season, although the data was a bit down, but the three-point shooting rate reached a career high of 41.4% that season.
During two seasons with the Mavericks, the 2015 season was not over, Parsons missed all the remaining games of the season due to a knee injury, in March 2016 Parsons underwent surgery to repair the torn right knee meniscus, and after the operation Parsons missed the rest of the season. That's equivalent to Parsons playing two seasons with the Mavericks, playing 67 games for the Mavericks in the 14-15 season and 61 games in the 15-16 season.
At the peak of his career, he signed nearly 100 million yuan contracts with the Grizzlies
Parsons, who had undergone surgery on the Mavericks injury, sent a signal to the outside world that his career prospects were quite unfavorable, but Parsons himself was still quite confident, and in 2016, the player's salary cap soared, and Parsons chose to jump out of his final year contract to become a free agent.
Just that year, the Grizzlies appeared, the team was very decisive to sign a four-year contract worth $94.8 million with Parsons, in the three seasons with the Grizzlies, Parsons directly released his glass physique, three seasons combined only played 85 games, the average score per game was directly as low as single digits. Although Parsons can't play, he has been known as a rich and handsome man, and his lace news has always been a lot, and his girlfriend has been changing non-stop, and he is a clubhouse tender model at every turn.
Farewell to my career completely because of a car accident
The Grizzlies finally sent Parsons to the Atlanta Hawks in 2019, and after playing a few games for the Hawks, Parsons had no accidents again, on January 16, 2020, Hawks player Chandler Parsons suffered a traffic accident after training, according to Parsons lawyers, "Parsons suffered a serious loss, and his career as a professional athlete may have ended", because the driver who caused the traffic accident drunk driving, Parsons received a large amount of compensation!
In the second month of the crash in 2020, the Eagles announced that they had cut Parsons, averaging 2.8 points and 1.4 rebounds in five games for the Eagles. Parsons only played in the NBA for just 9 seasons most of the season missed, the total salary has exceeded 100 million, is really a winner in life, ordinary people envy not come, the driver who caused the car accident is also unlucky, was put on such a big hat, if there is no car accident, it is estimated that Parsons has also retired.
