5 million in 2 years! Parker officially signed the contract! The most tragic second-tier show in the NBA

On June 22, according to multiple European media reports, former NBA second-place Jabbarri Parker left Barcelona and joined the Belgrade guerrillas for two years and $5 million. In this way, Parker became the top ten highly paid players in European basketball. Currently, the highest salary in Europe is the Lakers' former player Nunn, with an annual salary of more than $4.9 million.

Parker left the NBA in 2022 and began to compete in the European League in 2023, when he joined Barcelona for $2 million in one year. In April 2024, the two parties renewed their contract until 2026. Parker's contract with Barcelona has not expired yet, but he has decided to change his team. Parker was born on March 15, 1995, and was in his 30th year of fighting.

Parker played 39 European league games this season, averaging 27.1 minutes per game, scoring 12.4 points, 4 rebounds and 1.7 assists, with three shooting percentages: 55.7%, 38.3%, and 79.4%. Average 24.3 minutes in the La Liga, scoring 12.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists, with three shooting percentages: 50.9%, 47.5%, and 78.2%.

Let's compare it horizontally. Nunn averaged 31.1 minutes in the European League this season, scoring 20.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.1 steals. His three shooting percentages are: 50.3%, 41.9%, and 84.6%. Parker's data is good, but it has not reached the top level in Europe yet. Parker has played only 310 regular season games throughout his NBA career.

Parker was the number one high school student in the United States during his high school years, and was second only to Wiggins in the 2014 NBA No. 2 pick. Parker averaged 14.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2 assists and 0.9 steals in the NBA, shooting percentages in three events: 49.4%, 32.6%, 74.3%. His NBA career total salary is $56 million, plus the European League, which is more than 60 million.

If there is no injury, Parker will definitely have a better career. Many people call it the most tragic second-tier pick in the NBA. In March this year, Parker responded: "People always say that I am a tragic story, but I earn millions of dollars a year and I support my family. There is no need to pity me, you earn less than one percent of mine."
