Was just thinking about where Parker is these days a few weeks ago. Crazy how much his career path has changed. Wish him the best, seems like his first season overseas may have been tough for him.

Was in high school around the same time as Jabari. Can’t be overstated how much this dude was seen as the future. So much more so than any of the other future NBA guys coming from the area at the time.

He was shit when he was with us but as a Chicagoan I am slightly sad to see this where he ended up. I remember how hype everyone was when the hood found out Coach K came out here and wined and dined him and his mom. Had us watching Simeon again hoping for another Derrick rose type of story.

Shit is rough going from the next melo to overseas and it felt like he barely had a career. I’m sure he still grateful he getting paid but being from the hood and being heralded like that from a young age you have visions of being respected and being able to go back home and show everyone how you got it out the mud yo being a forgotten top pick stings

People are really still stuck on some stupid shit he said 6 years ago that he probably doesnt even agree on today, honestly feel bad for this dude as a person, going from one of the top prospects of the league to playing overseas far and away from your friends and family

Such bad defense he can’t even guard his emotions.

D-Rose, Jabari, Jahlil Okafor, and Cliff Alexander was a hell of a time to be in/around CPS, the hype was crazy

The Chicago Bulls $40,000,000 contract alone should have been enough money for him to ride off into the sunset. If he has to play offense in a foreign league that’s on him.
