first 2k i ever played i was drafted to the Rockets same class at Chandler. glad to see my classmate and teammate looking healthy after his incident.
You lowkey carried that team. Very underrated.
him and harrison barnes were 2 guys in 2k that seemed to always make shots in my game, their OVR jumped each year. my mind tricks me coz they got big deals in real life .... but didnt play like they did in my playthrough. i have to remember which version im thinking of.
@@Daz86. kind of off topic but I just lately I’ve playing 2k15 again and they never make Klay Thomson turn into the beast he is and the warriors went under 500 during all the years they were really going to the finals
@@camrose306 its a strange game sometimes.
Was always a fan of you and chandler on the same team
Chandler Parsons is telling on himself with the Kobe story. “I got lit up for 40 and then partied all night in LA afterwards” LOL pretty much suns up his career. Parsons is an all-time finesser for that Memphis contract
It’s not his fault tho, he just had too many injuries
You mean Memphis bro
What do you want him to do turn down 140 million?😂😂😂
@@kristopherrice1465 No I’m just saying he’s a finesser
Literally up there with the worst contract of all-time. Dude is and always was a bum on the court
Colin hated Luka at first but now he respected him unlike some old heads if they hate someone no matter what the player do they still hate him.
I love how Colin is one of very very few people who recognize how smart certain athletes are. People rarely say smart especially if the person is athletic.
True. Kobe was one of this rarity.
He was athletic but smart at the same time.
@@yvans. am not A Kobe fan but dude was *ULTRA CEREBRAL!*
Colin didn’t know who Pekovic was lol
On my soul he didn't 😂😂
I really like Colin's interviews, he asks great questions and let's the guest talk.
Chandler presents well. Good speaker. Believable. I think he should be a co host journalist or have his own show! He seems very knowledgeable.
Chandler is a good guy! Can't blame him for signing that massive deal because be honest you would of too. Blame the GM for the contract not the player
Parsons was actually a really good player in his prime. Can't really fault the GM either cause he saw his potential. Injuries just got in the way as usual
@@j0epark1 Exactly!
He definitely got the bag on that contract. That may have been around the time very good three point shooters were beginning to be overpaid. Analytics were starting to take shape especially down in Houston
@@j0epark1 you have a point if he would have went to Memphis after Houston but he played 2 injury filled seasons in Dallas, where his numbers started to dip you could tell the injuries were catching up he was a role player by the time he signed with Memphis thats totally on the GM thats like giving Kuzma a 120 million dollars contract after this year
That’s true for all athletes and contracts!!!
11:25 ""Up in smoke" lol
There's nothing left to say. Everyone got better Paycheck jokes already 😂
This was a great interview! Very cool to listen to Parsons perspective on early 2010s NBA
I would love to see chandler be a recurrent guest on the show. Having someone how is fresh out of the league like JJ reddick always puts a new perspective into things especially how the current crop of young guys are. Glad he’s doing better after the accident
11:23 Lol “Up In smoke” it’s “All the Smoke” bro. Bruh that was great shout out. It’s great to know he watches the show.
I caught that too lol
Another great interview by Colin. I love his fluidity and ease with in-studio guests.
Chandler has a future in sportscasting. Has the voice, comes across very naturally.
In case he needs a paycheck, lol.
Love the Minnesota references !!!
RIP Kobe
This was great. Bring that man back
Bruh, Colin keeps looking at Parsons like he's the gospel on the nba lol
He is the guest and played in the NBA. He should be respectful
Loved hearing him talk ball. You can tell he knows ball cuz he didn’t go with traditional answers
I see that this guy is the next athlete-talkshow host he is well spoken funny and smart
you're late to the game
Great Interview!!!
CHANDLER WITH THE FACTS!!!
Sheesh blast from the past with this guy
Glad to see he’s doing alright
A1 interview
Great interview! His take on Lebron was perfect
Colin had no idea who Pekovic was
This is the guy who finnessed Memphis out of 94 million dollars 😂
@Lordeverfall100 why listen to you? a nobody on the internet
@Lordeverfall100 actually he had a good start to his career in Houston then he got injured??? Also he made it to the league and at least had a career. People don’t know what a bust even is anymore.
Rockets fan here and never forget when dude made 10 threes in a half, legend in my book
Interesting Colin named Drexler, Barkley, Iverson, and Harden all not good practice guys and none of them have rings!!! Yet the MJs, Kobe, and lebron are all practice guys and they have dominate careers.. just something to think about
Yo that’s such a valid point, I think the phrase practice makes perfect rings true for athletes for sure. Great point and observation bro
The only problem with his analysis is Drexler won a ring in Houston with Dream besides that it’s a solid analysis.
First off, comparing anyone to kobe and MJ will make them look bad.
LeBron, Bird, and Shaq were all known to skip practice. Doesn't mean Bron doesn't work hard or doesn't care about getting better.
Many nba teams practice sparingly during the season due to their travel schedules and game recovery.
Player improvement occurs in the off-season unlike hs basketball where you have a game or two a week within driving distance of each other.
Bird known for missing practice? By shooting 500 times every day?
Drexler has one with Hakeem in 95, he wasn't the man though
Pekovic reference!! remember that fool 🤣
Between Clyde , Charles Barkley and Iverson that he mentioned that didn't like practice have 1 ring. Lol
The finesse god himself🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Chandler “Meal Plan” Parsons
Finally honesty snuck in there! “I want to talk about the Lakers because they are popular”. Reality they are not relevant.
Biggest finesser OAT
“Up in smoke” 🤣🤣 its all the smoke Colin
Chandler is a smart guy, I don't think he knows a lot of NBA history though.
Haven’t watched Colin in a while. I watched chandler on all the smoke and this was nice too, but i kinda missed Colin. He’s good.
colin listens to all the smoke for his content.
Chandler is top tier
The international didnt gave us Luka and Jokic 20 years ago : Arvydas Sabonis ( one of the first centers with great oassing skils) and Drazen Petrovic. Research Colin
Bro they were great but cmon, neither Drazen or Sabonis are on Luka and Jokics level.
Lmao they aren't on Luka or jokic level. Great players no doubt, but stop it 🤣
@@unanimousdecision6107 Luka and Jokic didnt play in an era were you actually get hit and no foul was called ; they are great i have been watching Luka since the Real Madrid days so i know ; in this offensive basketball era everybody shines because you are not allowed to handchech
This is not only for those 2 its the actual nba even bench players get amazing numbers because you cannot touch anybody
@@JJ_thekiller sabonis gold in the Olimpics and the world cup , Petrovic gold in the world cup ; Jokic and Doncic didnt get that as leaders of their team so.. yeah besides both are i the hall of fame ( for the usa standards)
A true pro telling you how pros work
I can see Chandler Parson getting a podcast
KG !!
Luka is the one player I don’t understand. He looks like he’s moving in slow motion; his three point shot takes 10 mins to go off but is never blocked; his layups are genius, with the change of speed, and no defender can figure it out… What is going on??😂😂😂
He has some of the greatest fundamentals in history. He utilizes his size and is extremely shifty, also is an amazing passer. I think he's been the best since January but he started the season slow so Jokic probably deserves MVP as of now.
W interview
Cool dude!
Chandler "meal plan and the weight room" Parsons
Chandler with the deep breathes 😂
Shout out Pek!
Collin you ever heard for Drazen Petrovic ? Damn man
The interview went good until dude said he thinks LeBron is the greatest of all time, I’m done ✌️
11:24 Its called “All the Smoke”, Colin.
Clyde Drexler, Charles Barkley and Iverson they all did not like to practice. You mentioned 3 players they never won a ring. Facts PS. I love AI, is my favourite player together with Kobe and Sheed!
Memphis gm put together a great roster ja has the perfect players around him
Glad to see Jesse is doing a lot better
I hate hearing people mention Kobe and KG in the same segment. It always makes me think about how they could have been teammates in 2007, and weren't, and it makes me very sad.
YEAH CAUSE KG IS GREAT KOBRICK IS WAGON IN SUPERTEAM
NOT FIT IN SAME CONTEXT AT ALL. GARNETT CAN DO ALL ON FLOOR MOST COMPLETE 2 WAY AFTER OLAJUWON.
Colin sending viewers to the “up in smoke” podcast feat snoop, Dre, daz and company
“He’s a different animal, man,” Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker says of Doncic. “At that size, with that handle and those skills ... at that age. It doesn’t seem fair.”
Nikola Pekrovic was an absolute beast
Man I wish he would have went to Portland for a couple years with lliard and mj
Chandler •meal plan •Parsons
Colin definitely needs to ask Parsons back on the show
As soon as Colin said Memphis Chandler start breathing heavy. Lmfao
Can't disagree with anything he said
“Get a basket guy 🤓”
In skills and size, Doncic has the profile of a near-perfect NBA offensive player and perfection might just be a few percentage points of long-range accuracy away. With a 6-foot-7 frame, the vision of an owl and a magician's sleight of hand, Doncic can demoralize a defense any which way from any spot on the floor.
Exactly. He's been the best player since the start of January. Averaging around 30ppg, 9apg, and 10rpg on about 40 from 3 and 50 from the field since then. He also has the highest defensive rating amongst all positions except for centers. I think Jokic deserves the MVP for now but it's close. I think It should really be between Jokic, Giannis and Luka. Joel is doing what Jokic is, without the assists and almost 10 percent worse from the field.
@@t_fitzo9726 mvp voting is rigged. voters are full of casuals and politics. NBA Championship is the real mvp award for Luka, But jokic gonna win it though. He carried plumbers and electricians to top 6
Hero and adebayo need to be the “get a bucket” guys
Played baseball against Chandler as a kid.
Collin Cowherd: “Here’s my opinion….. tell me why I’m right..”
One of the most hated players in Memphis grizzlies history.
facts
I’m not a fan of Colin’s injury concern with Ja. Career-altering injuries could happen to literally any player at any time. Ja is not the only guy in the league that could get hurt.
Ja gets most of his points in the paint and doesn’t have great landing mechanics.
Idk, Ja need to learn landing better
@@Blunder03 i agree. But my point still stands. Any player can suffer a career injury at anytime. A pure-shooter can land wrong, miss two years and never be the same again. To specifically knock Ja because of injury concerns seems disingenuous on Colin’s part imo.
That’s a fact bro! look at Klay Thompson. He literally missed two years back to back and he’s a shooter
Of course they can get hurt. BUT players like Luka or CP3 or even Klay dont rely on blowing by people and finishing above the rim. Thats the difference. If Luka looses his bounce and cant dunk over guys like Dwight Howard anymore (lol), would he still be able to use his Body to get into the lane and his stepback 3's? Take away 5-10 inches of Ja's vertical, can he still do the things he does? If your playing style relies on pure athleticism, you have more problems once this talent isnt there anymore.
Sadly we already saw that just 10 years ago...
He looks like Lincoln Riley lol
The eyes on this guy say Percocet addiction
Some of y’all in this comment section hate Chandler Parsons because your girl like Chandler Parsons
Was in the same VIP section as Chandler one night and some dude tried to start a fight with Chandler bc his girl came over to talk to him. 😂
@@figido7 lol I 100% believe it. What city was this I would like some details?
It was 16.6 pts per game when he was with Harden.
This year, the Heat could win. They’re the only Eastern conference team who’s been building on their structure the whole season, and they are tight, plus they have quality guys. Plus the Western Conference does not have dominating guys. This could be one of the years where a real team team wins it, like the Pistons with Chauncey, or the Seattle Supersonics.
Heat are pretenders with NO chance of winning it all. Get ready to be bounced in the 1st or 2nd round
Respect to C.P he secured two 100 mill contracts and didn't even play half the games due to injuries but got paid, finesse at its finest 😎
He only got one huge contract like that. Got like 30 million for two years with the Cavs and was way underpaid with the Rockets
@@jakobsteffensen8006 Nah 🤡 he got two 100 mill contracts, one with the Mavs and the Grizzlies, do your proper research Goofball lmao
This man is single-handedly responsible for two of the worst contracts in NBA history. First the 3 year Mavericks contract for almost 50 million (Cuban overpaid for him to get one on the Houston owner). And then the audacity for Memphis to pay him a 4 year 95 million contract after all the injuries he had sustain while playing for the Mavericks. Sometimes it makes me wonder if these NBA owners are running money laundering schemes..
Thats what you get when u force teams to have to spend a certain amount.
And if Dallas and Memphis don’t over pay for him below average self, real possibility neither gets Luka and Morant in the draft… everything happens for a reason
up in smoke? thought it was all the smoke Colin
I hope he asks Chandler about his time with Dirk
I would bet my life that Colin doesn't know Nikola Peković
Come on Chandler you telling me that you would take Luka over Greek freak, Steph Curry and Kevin Durant. Guys who has have league MVP and championship that they were solely responsible for their team winning
The Nets are loaded with talent and are a .500 team and the eighth seed in the East. Curry can’t win a game without Green, despite playing alongside a healthy Allstar “starter” in Wiggins. Luka is absolutely carrying the Mavs without anything close to an Allstar caliber player on his team. Of course he’s better than those two right now. He’s averaging 28/9/9 while being the most double teamed player in the league. I think Jokic, Luka, Embiid, and Giannis are the four best players right now. You could make argument for any of those four, but Durant, and especially Curry are not in the discussion.
@@shammycat3538 cant be the best player if your play style never gets you deep in the playoffs or winning a championship. And it doesn't matter how young he is players should be rated on being the best not the best potential. If all we do is rate players off stats Westbrook would be the best ever of this generation. So stop looking at just the scoring but actually look at the game. And even if you go by head to head he's not the best offensive player in the league and don't even get me started on defense.
Parsons should be arrested for robbing Grizzlies money
he was hurt.....
More like the GM should be blamed for offering him the contract
Colin out here curating un written rules for podcasting. 👨🏾💻
POV
You never read it and thought it was pat McAfee
This was reallyngoos
Oh
👀Chandler Parsons? This seems so random to me, haven't heard that name in a minute. Glad he's he doing well. I always felt like he squandered his eh, average talent. Was too concerned with off the court antics and showing off.
Chandler Parson's sighting??
LUKA DonKICK!!
He left out the truth. Bill Polian asked both Leaf and Manning the same question. The question was “ If we pick you with the first pick what will be the first thing you do ?”
Leaf said “ I’m getting my boys together and taking a trip to Vegas “
Manning said “ I’m getting on the first flight to Indy to start learning the playbook “
Polian said “ we knew RIGHT THEN who the clear pick was “
Fact ! I’ve heard those words from Bill Polian mouth.
Cowherd just hit the nail on the head. "Harden's not a practice guy, Drexler wasn't into practice, Charles and AI weren't either..." What do all those guys share in common? They were all losers. Drexler only won after joining Hakeem. Jordan was notorious for practice, that's why he's a winner.
How does parsons even get a platform to speak on?
His take was correct. Luka has been the best since January.
Chandler banned from the state of Tennessee fr. Homeboy's got bounty.
Lelose is not a great bucket guy!! He’s a good pass it guy 🤣
Did he just say Kobe and efficiency? Only finals mvp in the history, to not shoot fifty percent for even one game.
Who cares
