The NBA has never lacked stories of small people counterattacking, and it has never been rare to have examples of big heroes falling. The 2014 draft was star-studded: Wiggins, Embiid, Gordon, Smart, Randall, LaVine, Warren, Nurkic, Gary Harris, Capela, Bogdanovic, Ingols, Dingvedi, Jokic, Clarkson and others resounded throughout the MLB basketball, and they shone like rising stars. However, in this bright starry sky, there is a lister named Jabari Parker, who is still troubled by the positioning of his career.

Parker was born in Chicago, a city that is not stable. When Parker was 8 years old, he liked to practice dribbling in front of his home, but the neighborhood where the family lived was not safe, and Parker's parents had to keep an eye on their children and call him home as soon as the situation was not right. Whenever Parker dribbled the ball, neighbors looked at him curiously, and his father, former NBA player Sony Parker, would say to him: One day those people will come and ask for tickets to your game.

Parker, who progressed to high school, quickly became the nation's top high school student, and at Simon Vocational College in Chicago, Parker was the first freshman to win the basketball team's starting position in his freshman year of high school. He then became the second player in the entire illinois high school basketball history to start a four-time state championship team. The young Parker was already a big hit in the 2014 NBA Draft, so popular that even McBuzezinski, the head coach of the National Basketball Team and head coach of the Duke University basketball team, came to him to teach him basketball skills and tell him how to play on the court like James and Durant.
There was no free lunch in the world, and after receiving personal training from coach K, Parker had to join Duke University, a basketball school, and abandon the University of Michigan, which was closer to home. He's not a particular family lover, but his father, Sony Parker, a former NBA forward who dedicated his entire career to the Golden State Warriors, suffered from kidney disease in his twilight years and has limited mobility, and Jabari Parker genuinely wants his father to see his son show himself on the college stage.

Parker was a nearsighted man who could not even see the whole situation on the court, but could still score in the high school league like a melon, and fans at that time liked to call him the next Anthony. Over time, the humble Parker also developed a little pride.
NCAA elite schools are different from high school leagues, everyone pays more attention to the whole, no one can have unlimited firing rights, and even many random shots.
Parker, who is used to being used as a core, developed some substandard body postures during his three years of high school. In the devil-infested NCAA, these bad habits became a stumbling block for Parker, often bogging down his performance. Coach K, who apparently noticed this, let Parker put on his glasses, didn't limit his position on the field, trained his reading ability on the court and corrected his body posture, and sure enough, Parker quickly found himself. But while coach K is guiding his career, the University of Kansas, led by Andrew Wiggins, has quietly risen.
Jabari Parker was a Mormon who believed in Jesus and gave birth to the big boy who grew up on the chaotic streets of Chicago with peace and tranquility. Parker enjoyed watching movies, and during the Duke era he had neither girlfriends nor parties, and his only off-site activity was to go to the cinema with his roommates. He has a great sense of humor, which is recognized by coach K. But his clothes were poor, and he was often ridiculed by his friends for his strange combinations. In Duke's restrained but powerful school, Parker truly saw what charisma is—only because he lost his wallet countless times, but he could get it back every time.
He loves Duke so much that he doesn't hesitate to restrain his light on the field. In his second year at Duke, Coach K found that Parker was always deliberately passing the ball to his teammates during the game, or avoiding shooting options with fewer chances. Parker's mother, who at one point thought that her son had joined Duke, ran counter to his goal of being elected an NBA champion and became less and less confident. But Old K knows that Parker just doesn't want to be too prominent, in fact, he can use "non-human means" to end the game, such as by blocking the opponent's big center to complete the kill. But he didn't, all because he didn't want to enter the NBA too early, or leave his beloved Duke and beloved friends too soon. This has also been confirmed by his own words.

On June 27, 2014, Jabal Parker from Chicago was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks as the top spot and signed a four-year, 31.09 million contract, which is really lucrative for a rookie. But there was nothing wrong with Parker, after all, he was known as an Anthony and James combination at the time.
In December 2014, Parker was elected the first-month East Rookie of the Month, but in the middle of the month, he tore a cruciate ligament in his left knee and announced that he would be reimbursed for the season. You know, he has just set a single-game scoring record for a player under the age of 20 in the history of the team.
In the 2016-17 season, Bucks twin stars Antetokounmpo and Parker turned out. Parker averaged 20 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game that season, and college fans finally got their wish to see the long-lost dashing figure at bradley Center.
The god of the gods of the gods made a joke with him again, and on February 10, 2017, the Bucks played at home against the Heat, and Parker tore the cruciate ligament of his left knee once again in the process of breaking through the Heat's forward Lubat, facing a season reimbursement for the second time in his career.
Parker clenched his fists and lay on the ground looking up at the arena, both of the angel's wings broken. As the Greek sea monster's name grew louder, he knew that the buck would soon be saying goodbye to him.
After joining the Bulls, Parker returned to his hometown and played a performance comparable to the second season. The stubborn Bulls coach Boylen asked him to play as a big forward, and as Markkanen returned from injury, Parker lost his place in the rotation. After the Bulls' strike, Portis and Parker, who were not involved, were instead packaged and traded to the Washington Wizards, in exchange for 3D Otto Porter. On February 10, 2019, the Wizards challenged the Bulls on the road, and Parker scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists against the old owner. Perhaps behind the two guns in Washington, he can occasionally reveal his original true colors.

There is a saying in the Mormon doctrine: "We believe in everything, we hope in all things, we have endured many things, and we hope that all things will be endured." Coach K did not expect that the "fertile soil" cultivation he had adopted for Parker at the beginning was now a problem for his beloved disciple.
Parker, who had experienced two ruptures of the cruciate ligament in his left knee, was no longer explosive and could not limit his opponents well in the third position; he was not in a good height and weight and could not fully qualify for the fourth position. From being like James and like Anthony to the present. The unfortunate injury made the humble gentleman from Duke constantly lower his expectations of himself, and the former Chicago youth has lost its glory.
But as the doctrine says, no matter how much difficulty he endures, Parker will endure in silence and wait for the day when the flowers will reopen. Just like the Chicago champion Derick Rose, who wandered for six or seven years, but re-bloomed a gorgeous rose in a foreign land.
