Chandler Parsons is Averaging 3.2 Instagram Posts Per Game for the Grizzlies
6'10 with a Rachet: The Chandler Parsons Instagram Update
After signing a 4-year, $94 million deal with the Memphis Grizzlies in the summer of 2016, Chandler Parsons got busy working on his game — his IG game, that is. In fact, as his team entered December, he’d only played in 6 games and scored only 46 points, but had managed to put up 89 Instagram posts! Admittedly, I became somewhat infatuated with his level self-confidence, his lack of self-awareness and his MVP-like IG numbers and wrote this:
In late-January of that same season (or, as Parsons would have it, “SZN”), this professional Instagramer moonlighting as an NBA player finally saw his point total surpass his Instagram total. By that point, I’d started to get a little perturbed by Parsons relentlessly blowing up my Instagram feed and reminding me how much better his life was than mine. That caused me to go-in on Parsons even more, writing this article (complete with a line graph too!):
This SZN, things started off nicely for Parsons as he was one of the key components of a Grizzlies bench that briefly kept the team afloat until Mike Conley was shut down with an Achilles injury. At that point, Parsons decided to put a postage stamp on this SZN, sit out for a month-plus with “knee soreness” and focus on his IG game again . . . after all, that’s what the Grizzlies are paying him for, right?
While his Instagram-to-points ratio from last SZN may never be replicated, Parsons is still putting up some serious IG stats. Check is out — since joining the Grizzlies, Parsons has played in 60 games, scored 438 points, collected 158 rebounds, dished-out 108 assists . . . and posted 193 Instagrams. That translates to this impressive stat line — he’s averaging:
- 3.2 Instagram posts per game;
- 2.3 points per Instagram post;
- 1.2 Instagram posts per rebound;
- 1.8 Instagram posts per assist; and, the kicker
- He’s only made $45,228,754 during that time (with another $49,209,769 still to come)!!!
- Bonus stat: he’s making $234,345.88 per IG post
Don’t hate the playa, hate the game! But remember to keep Chris Vernon in your prayers tonight.
