The 2010-2013 season was arguably the most spectacular season of Tyson Chandler's career.
In September 2010, the then-Bobcats made a deal with the Dallas Mavericks, exchanging Chandler and Alexis Akinsa for Eric Dampier, Matt Carroll, and Eduador Nahullah. So Chandler left the Bobcats, who had been working for a year, and went to Dallas to assist now the European king, Nowitzki.
And this transaction not only allowed Chandler to quickly find his place on the team, but also allowed him and Dallas to win their only NBA championship.
Subsequently, Dallas magically disbanded the championship team, but Chandler's value rose. Through the honor bonus in Dallas, the "King of Fighters" quickly reached a franchise agreement with the Knicks, and finally came to New York in a first-and-later-trade manner, with a contract of up to 4 years and 56 million.
The "boxer" who joined the Knicks was also proud of the spring breeze, averaging points and rebounds in double figures for two consecutive seasons, including the 2011-12 season, successfully elected the NBA's defensive player of the year, becoming the first player in Knicks history to receive this honor, and was also selected to the NBA Best Team three teams in the same year. The following season, Chandler was named to the NBA All-Star bench.
However, in the following seasons, Chandler rarely had a highlight moment. Only returned to Dallas in the 14-15 season to average points in double figures.
His most recent appearance in the NBA was in the 19-20 season, when he played five games for the Houston Rockets. This time Chandler is on the news hot search again, but it has nothing to do with basketball. Because his wife, Kimberly Chandler, is now planning to divorce him.
According to the US media TMZ, Kimberly, the wife of the "King of Fighters", handed over divorce documents to the relevant authorities this week. In the filing, Kimberly suggested she was seeking alimony from "The Boxer," as well as custody of the children.
It is understood that Kimberly and the "King of Fighters" have been married for 16 years, and the reason why the woman filed for divorce was "irreconcilable contradictions between the two". From marriage to now, the couple has three children, including the eldest daughter Sacha-Marie (born in 2006) 15 years old, the second son Tyson II (born in 2009) 12 years old, and the youngest daughter Sayge Jozzelle (born in 2011) is only 11 years old.
In fact, what happened between Chandler and his wife is still unknown. However, judging from the environment in which Chandler grew up, he was not a person with too many shortcomings.
He was born into a single-parent family in Hanford, California, where his mother raised him and his two younger sisters. Therefore, Chandler developed a hard-working and simple style from an early age. He often worked on the farm to help his mother and grandmother, milking cows, raising pigs, and growing corn and okra.
Moreover, because the father did not return home for many years and barely fulfilled the obligation to raise the child, the status of women in Chandler's family was very high.
In less than two seasons since Chandler disappeared from the NBA, he encountered a family accident in which his wife filed for divorce, which was a thunderbolt for him.
A lot of NBA players, because they've earned a decent income from playing in the league, don't seem difficult for them to support their families. Once these players lose their competitiveness, they will be forgotten by the league, and certainly there will be no easier opportunity to make money than playing in the NBA.
This also shows how rare and self-disciplined players like James, Paul, Anthony, Howard and other players who still maintain a strong competitiveness at the age of 36 to 37 years old are!
