This is a high-paying new chapter for you! Hello, NBA second overall pick! Once the core forward for the Bucks,

Jabari Parker is nearing a move from Barcelona to the Belgrade Partizan, where he will sign a two-year contract worth $5 million, making him one of the highest-paid players in the history of European basketball.

Born in 1995, Parker stands 2.03 meters tall with a wingspan of 2.13 meters and a standing reach of 2.73 meters. As the second overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, he had immense potential, but a series of severe injuries derailed his career, including a torn ACL in his left knee in mid-December 2014 and a torn ACL in February 2017...

However, Parker still had some glorious moments. During the 2016-17 season with the Bucks, he averaged 20.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1 steal per game, with shooting percentages of 49%, 36.5%, and 74.3%. Had he developed normally, he could have at least been an All-Star and remained in the NBA during his prime years, but unfortunately, there are no "what ifs."

Throughout his NBA career, Parker played for eight years, during which he moved between six teams, appearing in 310 regular-season games, averaging 27.5 minutes with 14.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2 assists per game, with shooting percentages of 49.4%, 32.6%, and 74.3%. In the playoffs, he averaged 20.5 minutes with 9.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.1 assists, with shooting percentages of 49.4%, 33.3%, and 66.7%.

His physical gifts, both static and dynamic, are truly explosive.

He possesses a comprehensive skill set and an elegant playing style, allowing him to do almost anything on the court.

Last year, when Parker was asked about his experiences and feelings during his first season overseas, he suddenly broke down in tears, unable to speak. He later explained that his tears were those of gratitude, as playing in Barcelona helped him rediscover his love for basketball.

The last time Parker played in the NBA was during the 2021-22 season with the Celtics. In the summer of 2023, he officially began his overseas career by signing a one-year, $2 million contract with FC Barcelona.

"One must know that youth has lofty ambitions, once promising to be the best in the world."

What more can be said? Best wishes to Parker as he continues to shine in European basketball and realizes his life's value!
