Facts he was one of them ones injury messed him up n the nba jus tossed him to the side I don’t like that man the league should look into joining the big 3 and set it up that players like him who still good jus can’t run wit mf like de’Aaron Fox, Collin Sexton, and Luka they jus to fast n skillful for u to keep up with hurt can still go out and get a bag they still talented enough to put on a show for us like deMarcus Cousins
It so many players that got hurt that the nba jus packed up who had bright futures it’s crazy the nba jus move on from ppl not knowing that if u don’t hav a successful career the nba can ruin ur life all that time into balling u not gone be able to get a job cuz most them don’t no how
@@BennyLin718😂! We all get that NBA is more than just a basketball it’s stricted for business and though NBA executives knows what are they doing if they thinks some of players has no progress at their hard times of injuries or whatsoever so be it and moving forward to the other healthy and has a better potential future nor go get younger brighter players which is understandable. And in fact yeah those players who’ve thrown out from the NBA like before or like him Jabari Parker, Demarcus cousins, Brandon Jennings, and a player had a full potential to be one of the greats like Brandon Roy man bruh they can’t complain about it! Why? Bruh it simple they made tons of millions of money that just doing what they love to do just played for a short period of years and they’re set for good if a person knows how to handle that big amount of tons of a amount! It’s a fact that we couldn’t ever imagine most of us of 85 percent or more than that even just a half of a million would destroyed you as much as you work harder in decades and never reach to point to have had that amount of money! So they have no right to complain about it🤷♂️
Give some respect to that REPORTER! He did an outstanding job! He waited, he asked about him, asked if he was OK, and then realized he needed to let the man be and then graciously said, "We'll talk again later!" And left the man to reflect on his emotions. Beautiful job foreign reporter --- now that a true PROFESSIONAL! #WOW #perfection
I can't even imagine how hard it is to go to a completely different culture far from family and friends... This man has been through so much...falls, injuries, but he's still here fighting, nothing but respect for this man.
I mean this is the same guy who said he doesn't get paid to play defense in the NBA. He probably would still be in the league if he applied himself more.
@@PhilM4 Of course it was a stupid statement(23 years old then), but also partly true considering how much offensive players are better valued and paid than defenders, and now he is quite a solid defender.
He's clearly been through a lot. I immediately felt his pain when he started to cry because I'm having a similar issue in life where I know I'm not where I'm supposed to be. That was the "How did I get here" cry. We're all human and can only take so many obstacles and so many disappointments. He should be proud that he's still pursuing his dream and making the most of everything and hopefully being able to provide for his family. Milwaukee still supports you Jabari!!
Musician, was in several bands including my main with my best friends since 7th grade (I was 20 then, 31 now) been in mental hospital for 11 years after fucking my life up. I feel that in my soul bro. Keep up the good fight. (I still play)
@@kingofuseddurablecars.ls6040 Bro you don't know shit about what he's been through. Obviously he has suffered on the terms of a lifelong dream. There are many kinds of suffering.
Respect to Jabari, and respect to that reporter. That’s a man that also happens to be a reporter.. He could’ve left the camera in his face, but instead, he put it down allow Jabari to go through what he was feeling. Sadly, this reporter would never make it in the NBA, but that’s what makes this situation unique to me
Reporter was a professional, but also acted like a human being. You don't always see that. In the olden days, a star athlete might have asked the newsman to cut that last part out, or traded the chance for a future interview for a friendly editing of the footage. Not anymore...
The reporter was professional to some extent. He did show compassion and empathy, but he didn't have to call him a "boy". Especially when he's that vulnerable, but glad he's back on the court and I hope he continues to find peace with his career because he has won in my book
@@brianmcfadden1573I think that’s more of a language barrier thing than anything else. He clearly meant it as a term of endearment, trying to be casual with him. But an American reporter native English speaker wouldn’t say that I agree.
he didnt cry because of basketball he cried because of the pain of not being with his family and making this sacrifice to provide for them if u listen he said there was no injurie and everyone gets to go home to his family but he doesnt have that opportunity so that is what hurts him the most beyond words it was the hardest one year of his life i caqnt even imaGINE LEAVING MY FAMILY FOR THAT LONG BIG RESPECT TO HIM GOD BLESS
calm down he was and is a multi multi millionaire who has more money than 99.9999999999999% of people from THE DAY he signed his rookie deal. What you wrote is incorrect, go ahead and delete it.
Being from Chicago and meeting Jabari before. I could feel his pain, life’s ups and downs sometimes can get triggered by moments like this. Moments of reflection
Been there. I lived in Europe 5 years been home now for a few years and it is absolutely beyond comprehension when you leave America. It is like walking in another universe and America is a planet far far away. It is so intense that when asked about it you do break down and its ok! This is a good American man.
I felt that... As soon as he grabbed his face i knew the exact feeling. Hope this man has a strong shoulder he can lean on cause his heart is definitely heavy from something.
I think his injuries affecting his NBA career and then having to make the adjustment by playing overseas away from the culture and family/friends he grew up with is hard for him. That seems like a really adjustment to make.
It’s real out here in life and your really never know what people are going thru. Blessings to Jabari and his family. He is talented and kind person who is just trying to provide for his family.
The report was actually very respectful. People that think the reporter was being racist by calling him "boy", have obviously never left outside of the US before. There are cultural differences and boy is a term of endearment to address someone younger than you like "child" in many countries. The reporter is asking questions as part of his job. When he saw Parker was breaking down, the reporter first asked if he should stop, to which he ultimately made the decision to shutdown the interview when Parker wouldn't respond.
Its unprofessional. If I interview my best Friend for Broadcast I would call him Sir or Mr. Parker. It seems like the reporter knows him well which is not the case since he's new there therefoe it's at least disrespectful. And Spain is r..... as f...
@@realtalk1989-nk5xl If the reporter is 60 years old and Jabari Parker is in his 30's, he could see Parker as a hypothetical son in that situation with a young man breaking down emotionally. Hence, "boy", a term like "hey kid" or "hey bud" used geographically was used. End of story
Living outside of America and experiencing some purity that remains in the world will do the to you. It's such a beautiful thing to simply be able to walk down to the beach or to know that the culture you reside in doesn't revolve around degeneracy. I'm sure this was such an eye-opening experience for someone who is still so young. I've been a fan of Jabari since his Simeon days. I thought he was even better than the Greek Freak their first couple of years. His knee injuries thwarted substantial progress for the Bucks, however. Nothing but respect and admiration for Jabari. Always been a big fan. 🙏🏾
Jabari is a class act and good to see something like this. It shows the other side of baller life.. Not the fancy cars, women and money....Some humbleness and the grind. I'm a Wizards fan and a Terps fan so I shouldn't even be praising a former Duke player. I'm just praising a human being and I see something here I feel like I can relate to for some reason.
Great interview from Jabari. The last question triggered some emotions. I saw another interview from Rich Paul where he said Jabari"s tears were a good thing because it was tears of relief and greatfulness for what he had to overcome interms of injury to get the opportunity in Europe after injury ended his time in the NBA.
Keep your head up Jabari! Even if you're not playing in the NBA anymore, there are still lots of your fans in the states rooting for you brother! Do what you got to do. Don't let anything bring you down cause the way I see it, you're still good at what you do bro! Chin up Jabari!
I remember meeting when him at summer league in Vegas he was underage so he couldn't get the club so he was just walking in Vegas. I spoke to him he was a rookie He was so humble and down to earth its great to see him playing still even if is oversea!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Big respect to jabari im happy to see him back out there and still doing what he loves i m very very happy for him 💯💯 and respect to the reporter as well for understanding the situation and checking on him and then ending the interview much love and respect 💯💯
Respect to them both. Great interview by Mr. Parker, he represented his team very well. Kudos to the reporter for putting the importance of the person before the story.
God bless you Jabari. It takes a lot of character to keep pursuing something you love in spite of all life's setbacks. 2nd pick overall, 2014 NBA Draft, 7-year NBA player, Jabari Parker.
Jabari, keep your head up bro. Don’t give up no matter what. It is obviously hard to go through all of this. Hope you make your way back to the NBA. You are still young. Just keep working on your craft and get better. Isiah Thomas persevered and made it back. Everyone is different and it’s really hard.. You had a moment just and everyone knows you are doing your best going through it. Please stay strong. I will pray for you. ❤️🙏🏽
What an outstanding individual... As a player and a damn hall of famer as a human being. Follower for life from now on... Real Madrid supporter here, enjoying Luka ripping the NBA appart but this video is the best basketball highlight Ive seen in very long time. First time I comment
I've so much respect for NBA dudes playing overseas. It ain't NBA money and coverage but you still get to play the game as a career, be in a competitive environment and also see the world.
Yo kid --- you Delusional! If you ask 99.999% of Americans playing OUTSIDE of 🇺🇲 if they are doing it to see the 🌎, or the ❤️ of the game or blah, blah, blah . . . none of them are doing it for that, son! 🚫 You know why they are playing in foreign countries? BECAUSE THEY ARE TRYING TO GET BACK IN THE NBA, youngsta! How can you be so obtuse! Now go to 🛏️ --- it's past your bedtime, and you get no 🍰🍦🥧🍩🍪! #whatchuthinkinchild
Although I never cared for him and always thought he was overrated, this is hard to see. Never want to see someone down like this. Hope he gets better mentally and does his thing overseas.
Jabari Parker is a pure Hooper and an even better person based on what I've seen from him since his college days. He's still worthy of a NBA roster spot playing some quality minutes for a contender!
I felt that.... I felt that. At least he didn't quit on his dream. A testament for me & now. Life hard, but it would be harder if you give up on your dreams, goals, aspirations. 📝
Dam bro we still love you bro keep you head high we didn’t forget about you cuz we still talk about you it’s not your fault injuries bro we totally understand don’t let this bring you down keep playing man keep playin keep playing
@@wowthatsinteresting8951 keep in mind that Spaniards are generally awful at English compared to other Europeans, like Scandinavians, Dutch people, Serbians, Turks etc. So, yea, he meant no harm, his English is just terrible and that's OK.
Feel bad for Jabari. He was on his way to becoming a fucking superstar before and after the first ACL tear. The second one, however, really seemed to derail his career. Never seen a dude lose his bounce like that in one offseason. I still love this dude. Hurts me even more since I was (and still am) such a fan.
For every superstar there are 10 guys that didnt make it, some of them equally hardworking if not more. It's a lesson I wouldn't wish anyone to learn the hard way.
He misses home and feels alone in Spain....he used to be a top project when he was drafted but injuries kept him back....he is a great basketball player and sure deserves a spot in the NBA imo
I'm sure a lot of people can relate to this. I moved over 1,000 miles from home in 2021 for work. Every weekend I'm missing out on time spent with my grandparents who are getting up there in age. I'm also not building memories with the rest of my family and friends. Bouncing out of the NBA and moving overseas to play ball has to be terrible. The novelty would wear off very fast, and the reality of the situation would be harsh.
A couple of moons ago....Jabari was on magazine covers as a high schooler being touted as " The Next One". Life doesn't always stay on the script that we write for ourselves. It seems as though he has gained/ maintained the proper perspective on his journey. PROPS!!
He said Bari he even said Bari at the beginning of the interview. This a reach.He was emotional because of the loss. On top of the question at the end about basically brought him back to realizing he not in the NBA no more
Jabari was that guy.. injuries man.. such a shame. he was an all star calibre player maybe more.. such a shame. always rooted for the guy to be injury free
"What's wrong, boy?" Case in point, that it's not the words that hurt but the intent behind them. Here, "boy" was used lovingly, thus perfectly acceptable.
Jabari should still be in the NBA I have seen him dominate the board and get buckets coming off the bench For the bucks and be productive in the game they just didn’t give him enough playing time or keep him in the rotation…..NBA gives you a good 4-5 years to be a Star player or a good role player on a NBA team if that doesn’t happen you get traded bench and the new young players take the veterans starting role or benched!
No team will take a chance on him, in 8 seasons his two top seaons as far as games played were 76 games one season and 51 games the next most... The rest have been under 40 games... He simply can't stay healthy, and these were in his early to mid 20's.. He's 29 now, I don't see how his body suddenly starts to regenerate.. Unfortunate for Jabari, but he's still in the second best league in the world, the ACB.. I think the pain here comes from the fact he knows his body simply isn't up to the task of staying healthy. A case of the mind is willing but the body is not... He knows what he's capable of talent wise but his body just isn't cooperating...
i know why he cried because it is lonely overseas, it is a humbling experience also. He probably felt like a failure when he asked that question. I felt his pain I live in Milwaukee and I got to see him at the height of his career. He brought alot to the city he had posters in every school telling kids to come to school. I will always be a fan of him as a man.
Both Jabari and the reporter did amazing in this interview! In the other side Jabari Parker seems a very good young man tho and looks decent without any inks in his body to show compares some Americans players showing a lot of tatts of their head which is doesn’t looks nice to look at it specially for the kids! However despite of Jabari’s up and down when he was an nba player he was a forced scorer full of potential until injuries hits him and ended his nba tenure but his still blessed as I could seen here that he looks healthy enough to play ball overseas and foremost that he already made of tons of millions of his basketball career so his all set for life as long he knows how to handles his hard work breads and has a lot good things ahead of him bruh👍😎
He’s still in a much much more comfortable position financially than most working class citizens. At the end of the day it’s just a game, you go all your life practicing basketball and now you’re stuck with it as an adult out of the league. Wanna be with your friends and family but the opportunity you have is calling for you to stay overseas. Then I’d you’re not getting scouted while playing above average nba level then you’re just working overseas away from your friends and family back in the states. Plenty of people go through that but that’s part of pride before the fall. Honestly have no idea why he was crying during that interview. I doubt it was because he’s not in the nba anymore. Probably something very serious going on, not basketball related.
American media would have put the camera closer and baited him with more question so he has a major outburst and they can get content for the week. Then about 20 "analysts" would have kept the topic on rotation for at least 2 weeks and mentions in the future
Imagine the duo Milwaukee could’ve had if they kept Jabari. If they would’ve let Parker grow instead of dumping him, a seasoned duo of Parker and Giannis would’ve been unstoppable.
Unfortunately he got serious injury… that took his potential career. That’s why Bucks eventually picked Giannis. If you can see, Jabari, Keep going ! You are still a professional basketball player! Let’s move on!
Parker had no willingness to play defense at the time and it was also evident he didn't have the skillset, motor and health to be a valuable piece on a contender while only playing one side of the floor. We've seen Miami turn water to wine and seen how LBJ scoops up serviceable wings that can shoot. But Jabari had nothing to offer for any NBA team. We'll see if he can come back next season.
Ish has to hurt! Knowing you had the talent to be one of them one's in the league, and it just wasn't in tje cards. Was one of my favorite young players back then too.
The reporter was smart enough to stop asking him questions.. big respect to the reporter 👍

If you ask 99.999% of Americans playing OUTSIDE of 🇺🇲 if they are doing it to see the 🌎, or the ❤️ of the game or blah, blah, blah . . . none of them are doing it for that, son! 🚫
You know why they are playing in foreign countries?
BECAUSE THEY ARE TRYING TO GET BACK IN THE NBA, youngsta!
How can you be so obtuse!
Now go to 🛏️ --- it's past your bedtime, and you get no 🍰🍦🥧🍩🍪!
#whatchuthinkinchild
so sad😢 but he never gives up
Although I never cared for him and always thought he was overrated, this is hard to see. Never want to see someone down like this. Hope he gets better mentally and does his thing overseas.
Much Respect To Jabari Parker
Hope Jabari is doing great ♥Love to see the passion
mann Parker was my favorite player coming into the league. I'm glad he still playing.
That feeling when you are so in tears and you attempt to speak but the sounds can't come out.
Jabari Parker is a pure Hooper and an even better person based on what I've seen from him since his college days. He's still worthy of a NBA roster spot playing some quality minutes for a contender!
Nothing but respect jersey city keep working keep rising
Greatness is turning up and fighting through it, even when no one sees the real battle. Keep on Jabari. ✊🏽
I felt that.... I felt that. At least he didn't quit on his dream. A testament for me & now. Life hard, but it would be harder if you give up on your dreams, goals, aspirations. 📝
Now that is a classy journalist. respect.
Dam bro we still love you bro keep you head high we didn’t forget about you cuz we still talk about you it’s not your fault injuries bro we totally understand don’t let this bring you down keep playing man keep playin keep playing
Kind reporter gave him a little encouragement, and said we can talk later.
I DON'T THINK THE REPORTER MEANT ANY HARM IN CALLING HIM BOY BUT I KNOW HE WISH HE COULD BE IN THE USA WITH FAMILY AND KIDS
whats wrong boi
No harm lol
I thought he said Bari lol
@@wowthatsinteresting8951 keep in mind that Spaniards are generally awful at English compared to other Europeans, like Scandinavians, Dutch people, Serbians, Turks etc. So, yea, he meant no harm, his English is just terrible and that's OK.
Nah lol reporter innocent af
Im proud of you Parker your still coming back too the NBA I BELIEVE IN YOU..
Feel bad for Jabari. He was on his way to becoming a fucking superstar before and after the first ACL tear. The second one, however, really seemed to derail his career. Never seen a dude lose his bounce like that in one offseason. I still love this dude. Hurts me even more since I was (and still am) such a fan.
Respect to the reporter
For every superstar there are 10 guys that didnt make it, some of them equally hardworking if not more. It's a lesson I wouldn't wish anyone to learn the hard way.
Preciate the reporter respecting Jabari's struggle and not trying to capitalize on it. Bless
Always been a fan of Jabari. Even more so now.
Respect to that reporter.
Being humbled by life is far better than having success without character change and growth
I'm still a fan of Jabari. I wish him and his family the best!
Jabari Parker was supposed to be what Giannis is for the Bucks franchise.
He misses home and feels alone in Spain....he used to be a top project when he was drafted but injuries kept him back....he is a great basketball player and sure deserves a spot in the NBA imo
I'm sure a lot of people can relate to this. I moved over 1,000 miles from home in 2021 for work. Every weekend I'm missing out on time spent with my grandparents who are getting up there in age. I'm also not building memories with the rest of my family and friends. Bouncing out of the NBA and moving overseas to play ball has to be terrible. The novelty would wear off very fast, and the reality of the situation would be harsh.
Jabari Parker was, is and will always be that guy . High potential !
Wow Jabari is a real one. Bless him
Much respect to bro. I hope he alright and I hope he makes it back to the nba where he belongs.
When you pour your whole life heart and soul into this it hits different 🫶🏽
A couple of moons ago....Jabari was on magazine covers as a high schooler being touted as " The Next One". Life doesn't always stay on the script that we write for ourselves. It seems as though he has gained/ maintained the proper perspective on his journey. PROPS!!
He said Bari he even said Bari at the beginning of the interview. This a reach.He was emotional because of the loss. On top of the question at the end about basically brought him back to realizing he not in the NBA no more
He said Bari (sounded more like BAH ) with a AH sound in the beginning, I replayed it several times, he definitely called him boy the second time.
@@jay5756 what's the problem with calling him boy? You Americans are incredible really...
@@Fenix-lr6ezthings get a bit tense when a white man calls a black man “boy”, in US at least
@@ImUrZaddy well, it doesn't have any connotation here in Spain. Racist least of all
@@Fenix-lr6ez America is a sick place.
Jabari was that guy.. injuries man.. such a shame. he was an all star calibre player maybe more.. such a shame. always rooted for the guy to be injury free
God bless Jabari
"What's wrong, boy?" Case in point, that it's not the words that hurt but the intent behind them. Here, "boy" was used lovingly, thus perfectly acceptable.
I have always loved Jabari.
Keep doing that Thing Mr Parker! Keep Pressing! 🙌🏾
big props..big resiliency, salute.
He miss the nba but most importantly his family his injuries destroyed his career sad the team he played real minutes for in finals now
Good to see he's taking care of his body. He looks jacked!
👑 still winning 🏆 💯
Man hes a class person, you can tell
This the same man who said he don’t get paid to play defense..
Jabari should still be in the NBA I have seen him dominate the board and get buckets coming off the bench For the bucks and be productive in the game they just didn’t give him enough playing time or keep him in the rotation…..NBA gives you a good 4-5 years to be a Star player or a good role player on a NBA team if that doesn’t happen you get traded bench and the new young players take the veterans starting role or benched!
No team will take a chance on him, in 8 seasons his two top seaons as far as games played were 76 games one season and 51 games the
next most...
The rest have been under 40 games...
He simply can't stay healthy, and these were in his early to mid 20's..
He's 29 now, I don't see how his body suddenly starts to regenerate..
Unfortunate for Jabari, but he's still in the second best league in the world, the ACB..
I think the pain here comes from the fact he knows his body simply isn't up to the task of staying healthy.
A case of the mind is willing but the body is not...
He knows what he's capable of
talent wise but his body just isn't cooperating...
Jabari Parker is such a good man
i know why he cried because it is lonely overseas, it is a humbling experience also. He probably felt like a failure when he asked that question. I felt his pain I live in Milwaukee and I got to see him at the height of his career. He brought alot to the city he had posters in every school telling kids to come to school. I will always be a fan of him as a man.
Jabari did what he had to do. Hold your head up high brother. We all make sacrifices.
Both Jabari and the reporter did amazing in this interview! In the other side Jabari Parker seems a very good young man tho and looks decent without any inks in his body to show compares some Americans players showing a lot of tatts of their head which is doesn’t looks nice to look at it specially for the kids! However despite of Jabari’s up and down when he was an nba player he was a forced scorer full of potential until injuries hits him and ended his nba tenure but his still blessed as I could seen here that he looks healthy enough to play ball overseas and foremost that he already made of tons of millions of his basketball career so his all set for life as long he knows how to handles his hard work breads and has a lot good things ahead of him bruh👍😎
Jabari Parker a legend. Keep hoopin
American journalist would have kept the camera in his face the whole time. Shout out to them for giving that man space to let his emotions out.
To me, ge was better than wiggings, but those injuries can mess anybody up. Keep going bro 💪
I thought he was going to be a bonified star in the NBA. Good to see him still doing what he loves and getting his fruits out of life.
In terms of having a unique game. Bro this man was so cold to me 😭💯
Isaiah Thomas thought they gave up on him and he got that call.. keep faith my dude
He’s still in a much much more comfortable position financially than most working class citizens. At the end of the day it’s just a game, you go all your life practicing basketball and now you’re stuck with it as an adult out of the league. Wanna be with your friends and family but the opportunity you have is calling for you to stay overseas. Then I’d you’re not getting scouted while playing above average nba level then you’re just working overseas away from your friends and family back in the states. Plenty of people go through that but that’s part of pride before the fall. Honestly have no idea why he was crying during that interview. I doubt it was because he’s not in the nba anymore. Probably something very serious going on, not basketball related.
American media would have put the camera closer and baited him with more question so he has a major outburst and they can get content for the week.
Then about 20 "analysts" would have kept the topic on rotation for at least 2 weeks and mentions in the future
Imagine the duo Milwaukee could’ve had if they kept Jabari. If they would’ve let Parker grow instead of dumping him, a seasoned duo of Parker and Giannis would’ve been unstoppable.
Unfortunately he got serious injury… that took his potential career. That’s why Bucks eventually picked Giannis.
If you can see, Jabari, Keep going ! You are still a professional basketball player! Let’s move on!
I think Bobby Portis, and Brook Lopez took his position for the bucks and they let Jabari Go!!…as a backup to Giannis and Lopez
Parker had no willingness to play defense at the time and it was also evident he didn't have the skillset, motor and health to be a valuable piece on a contender while only playing one side of the floor. We've seen Miami turn water to wine and seen how LBJ scoops up serviceable wings that can shoot. But Jabari had nothing to offer for any NBA team. We'll see if he can come back next season.
If only it was that simple
Khris Middleton is just a better version of him in every way and they won a championship the second they dropped him lol. Hes not that good.
Ish has to hurt! Knowing you had the talent to be one of them one's in the league, and it just wasn't in tje cards. Was one of my favorite young players back then too.
KEEP BALLIN!!!
