Chandler "no rings" Parsons is getting apology from Carlisle? I guess he cried to Cuban after Carlisle offended him.

When Phil Jackson told Kobe to lose weight after he put on 20 Pounds of muscle one off season and Kobe just sad OK and did it, it wasn't that much of a story. It's weird that a NBA Championship coach has told a player to lose weight, but the player thinks that he knows better after winning pretty much nothing. You would think the player would try and do what ever the coach wanted.
Looks like Carlisle had to put a stop to this before Parsons goes from topless photos to videos of him walking around the locker room fully nude.
Parsons gets butthurt over everything. Carlisle just decided to be the bigger person and apologize even though it's completely unnecessary.
Pretty weird sequence, start to finish. Weird to publicly talk about the weight, unless you do so intentionally. Weird for player to then say he disagrees with his coach and post an immature instagram of his own body. Then weird icing on top is this apology. WTF, Mavs?
