    I sure as hell hope it's genuine rather than him reading the comments here about him sulking.

    Who was Clyde referring to when he said "he's going to be special"?

    Thabeet's facial expression looks like he don't even care if he gets playing time or not.

    I haven't totally been keeping up with the Rockets this season (I know, I know...) but based on the box scores of games, it doesn't seem like Parsons is really good.

    Why is he starting over Marcus Morris? Is Morris not a good pick either? Is there just not a better forward to fit in our starting 5 than Parsons?

    Basketball isn't like baseball and the box score rarely tells the whole story.

    Parsons does almost everything well (streaky shooter is a knock on him), he plays within himself, doesn't make too many mistakes, plays smart, plays good individual and team defense, gets a nice tip dunk almost every game, distributes the ball well, rebounds, and has a high bball IQ. Watch a game or two.

    Seriously since he has been starting he has one of these in every game but I think one, and in that one he flew by one as it bounced on the rim and went in...so he was there if it came out.

    Amazing...I love the SF combo too.....

    I can't recall a white guy having that many highlight dunks this early in his career. Nice.

    If Parsons works on his 3-ball and mid-range shots during next summer, this guy is going to be unbelievable!

    Parsons has been really good. I think the only thing hasn't done well is shoot the ball. His lack of confidence in shooting the ball also has caused him to hesitate now and then, which has hurt the offense some. But everything else he has been either very solid or better than solid. You probably just have to watch him play to understand it (though, even with the bad shooting, he still has an above average PER which doesn't even capture many of the good things he's doing defensively).

    I think this was a little bit sicker than the one he had on McGee; it was with one hand. I nearly spat out my dinner when I saw this

    You can see his timing is impeccable... he waited and waited and then BOOM...

    In all seriousness, is there an NBA player with a better highlight reel than Chandler Parsons so far this season???

    Impressive for a rookie. Hopefully it only keeps getting better from here.

    Has to be...Parsons dunks aren't that great. It has more to do with how consistently they have happened and that he's a 2nd round rookie.



    And has bud always "celebrated" like this? I want to say it's because Parsons took his spot, but maybe i just forgot he never celebrates much?
