Chandler Parsons Responds To Ex-Grizzlies Executive Saying He Spent $250 Million Dollars Within Half An Hour: "Much Appreciated Guy"

A lot of players in the NBA try to find success for the lucrative benefits that come with it. For many stars, the NBA presents the best opportunity for them to provide a great life for their family and friends, as it is one of the most financially rewarding leagues in the world today.

And one player reaped the benefits of that. That player was Chandler Parsons. Parsons was never expected to be a superstar in the league, as he was only a second-round pick in the 2011 NBA Draft. But he proved to be an effective role player for the Houston Rockets and the Dallas Mavericks.

Parsons' performance must have impressed someone in Memphis, as they signed him in 2016 for a whopping 4 years and $94 million. This would mean he earned $23.5 million per season. Many at the time felt it was a lot of money for a player who didn't have as high a ceiling as the money warranted.

But Parsons had a humorous response to it online. Recently, former Grizzlies executive John Hollinger jokingly responded to a viral Tweet that asked people what is a story from their life that sounds made up, as he mentioned his 2016 spending spree, in which he signed Parsons.
