Last night, Chandler Parsons of the Memphis Grizzlies and C.J. McCollum of the Portland Trailblazers got into a hilarious war of words which ended with Parsons taking a pretty big L.
It all started with a tweet from the Trail Blazers’ official account, which posted a video of Parsons shooting an air ball on a 3-point attempt during the Trail Blazers’ 112-109 victory Friday in Portland.
To be fair, the NBA 3-point line is really, really far away from the basket. pic.twitter.com/dHusI9cHcW

After being heavily courted by the Blazers this summer, Parsons signed a four-year, $94.4 million deal with the Grizzlies in July but has appeared in just 20 of Memphis’ 48 games this season because of knee injuries. He is averaging career lows of 6.7 points and 1.9 rebounds per game.but has barely played all season due to injury.
