Chandler Parsons' basketball career has been legendary.
From making his mark in the NCAA league to being drafted by the Rockets with the 38th pick in the NBA Draft, Parsons' basketball career has been full of ups and downs and challenges.
Parsons was in the spotlight with a strong rookie season, and then gained more playing time and trust.
However, with the end of his rookie contract, Parsons began to suffer frequent injuries, which greatly affected his on-court stats and performances.
However, with his excellent performance and marketing skills before the injury, he managed to sign a big contract of 4 years and 94.8 million US dollars.
This made his annual salary as high as $23.7 million, ranking 15th among NBA players at the time, which shows his high value.
However, Parsons faced insurmountable difficulties after joining the Grizzlies.
His injury problems worsened, which eventually led to a low point in his career.
The chaos of his private life and injuries caused his stats to plummet, and he was eventually traded to the Hawks.
In a car accident in 2020, Parsons suffered multiple permanent injuries, which also meant he could not return to the court.
Finally, Parsons officially announced his retirement on January 19, 2022, ending the final chapter of his career.
Such a once high-profile player went through the heyday of his basketball career to the trough of being unable to shake off injuries, and finally chose to end his career.
This experience is undoubtedly a legend of a professional basketball player, and it also makes people full of admiration and emotion for his career.
