This is the kind of game where you wonder how in the heck Jabari Parker could be so bad at basketball while watching it. If he could do this every night, he’d be a star. Of course, you could say that about almost every player I make a video for. Like if DeAndre’ Bembry had 14 points and 4 blocks every game people would be losing it over prime Mark Eaton reincarnated as a small forward. And if Parker averaged 27 we’d be talking about him being the next Carmelo Anthony, which of course is what he was supposed to be anyway.
I just realized that Anthony is basically out of the league right now so maybe Parker IS the next version of him. Oh my god.
And normally I don’t show assists when the player in question only has 4 but I did this time, because some of them were sick. He baseball-passed a bullet all the way down the court right to Zach LaVine for a dunk, and then one-hand whipped another to Wendell Carter for another easy score. Real talk, Giannis doesn’t make those kind of passes.
Also, if you’re wondering where his mammoth rejection on Taj Gibson is, I didn’t include it because it was obviously goaltending. I don’t care what the refs said or what the NBA says. It was cool, but it was goaltending.
