    Yeah, I doubt that the choice to go with that picture was accidental.

    Overblown. I think Howard would have signed with Houston even without Parsons.

    I think the Dream played a big part. After all, Howard trained with Hakeem, and even called him his master.

    Remember this day?

    When "Melo with Defense" and "Dwight can't catch me" were introduced, nobody noticed the quiet guy who just chuckled along.

    Harden is the beard of the franchise.
    Dwight is the shoulders of the franchise.
    Jeremy is the brain of the franchise
    Greg Smith is the ______ of the franchise..

    lol he was probably more of a pest than anything. Some kid you barely know who was an uber fan when you played in Orlando keeps sending you texts to come and it actually makes a difference?

    D12 said it was McHale and Harden. Has he even thrown out Parsons name in any of his interviews so far?

    Wait, so we believe these sources? I like chandler as much as anyone around here, but it seems like an exaggeration to me. Especially, when chandler himself said they went back to his Florida days and were friends, but now this source says they barely knew each other?


    And in before the merge!

    Not only can Parsons pull all of the ladies the men can't resist him either. Girls want to do him, guys want to be him.

    Let's take a brief moment to thank the Clippers organization for that second rounder.

    This confirms it: Parsons is the real leader of the team

    According to sources Slim Thug played a much more important role in the recruitment process.

    Replace "sources" with "Dan Fegan" and it all makes sense.

    Certainly, Parsons played a critical role in bringing Howard here. But I don't think it's as significant as the article portrays.
