    Not many, less than 30% it seems. Even then their PER still never gets the same.

    For those defending (or at least saying they understand) what Parsons had to say... I say this:

    He could have said what he wanted to say in soooo many different ways (e.g. I am eager to play with D.J. and Wes + then the whole part about open 3's and lobs at the basket).

    To explicitly state the positions (5 & 2) that two of his former BFF's / teammates have = an attempt to throw shade specifically at Howard and Harden.

    It was unwarranted, unnecessary, and classless... Is Lebron taking shots at his old Heat teammates? Did he take shots at his teammates in Cleveland when he went to Miami (Other than by intimating that he couldn't win a championship in Cleveland at that time)?

    Also, yes, this probably should be moved other than it does seem to be attack on players currently on the Rox roster.

    It makes sense for Parsons to prefer players who can't create their own shot. More opportunity for him to have the ball.

    Unfortunately, he also can't create his own shot.

    What I've always liked about Parsons is how he is such a humble guy.

    Parsons sure does talk a lot for a role player.

    This is what you say when you suffer from a gentleman sweep and when you'll be limping for the rest of your career due to knee isuues.

    Agree. Parsons has drank the Cuban Kool-Aid and I hope he gets what he deserves. His comments make me appreciate Bev and CB that much more. Both showed more loyalty and desire to win then Parsons who signed a deal that he knew DM wouldn't match. I was OK with him getting paid, hell if another Dallas is that stupid then good for him, but poking two dragons in the eye isn't very smart. Can't wait for next season already.

    Parsons is happy that his inflated contract won't be under the microscope.

    Cute how he touts his abilities.

    With all due respect, you have no inkling of an idea of what the **** you are talking about. "Our fanbase..."- you don't know **** about our fan base, you certainly don't have any sort of reliable barometer for what the majority say about our fanbase, and while it seems to be innocuous, based on Mr. Parsons' history, there certainly is a basis for us laughing at him.

    Also:

    1. Your user name sucks.
    2. You're stupid.
    3. You're sexist.
    4. You smell.
    5. Momma Parsons raised you wrong.
    6. I'm sure it takes you long to realize a lot of other things.
    7. You're stupid.
    8. We don't like you.
    9. You're a big pile of doodoo.
    10. Bye.


    Or...the obligatory:

    This is incredibly offensive and uncalled for.

    Because of this, I am never checking ClutchFans again!
