And in fact yeah those players who’ve thrown out from the NBA like before or like him Jabari Parker, Demarcus cousins, Brandon Jennings, and a player had a full potential to be one of the greats like Brandon Roy man bruh they can’t complain about it! Why? Bruh it simple they made tons of millions of money that just doing what they love to do just played for a short period of years and they’re set for good if a person knows how to handle that big amount of tons of a amount! It’s a fact that we couldn’t ever imagine most of us of 85 percent or more than that even just a half of a million would destroyed you as much as you work harder in decades and never reach to point to have had that amount of money! So they have no right to complain about it🤷♂️
I can't even imagine how hard it is to go to a completely different culture far from family and friends... This man has been through so much...falls, injuries, but he's still here fighting, nothing but respect for this man.
I mean this is the same guy who said he doesn't get paid to play defense in the NBA. He probably would still be in the league if he applied himself more.
@@PhilM4 Of course it was a stupid statement(23 years old then), but also partly true considering how much offensive players are better valued and paid than defenders, and now he is quite a solid defender.
Give some respect to that REPORTER! He did an outstanding job! He waited, he asked about him, asked if he was OK, and then realized he needed to let the man be and then graciously said, "We'll talk again later!" And left the man to reflect on his emotions. Beautiful job foreign reporter --- now that a true PROFESSIONAL! #WOW #perfection
He's clearly been through a lot. I immediately felt his pain when he started to cry because I'm having a similar issue in life where I know I'm not where I'm supposed to be. That was the "How did I get here" cry. We're all human and can only take so many obstacles and so many disappointments. He should be proud that he's still pursuing his dream and making the most of everything and hopefully being able to provide for his family. Milwaukee still supports you Jabari!!
Musician, was in several bands including my main with my best friends since 7th grade (I was 20 then, 31 now) been in mental hospital for 11 years after fucking my life up. I feel that in my soul bro. Keep up the good fight. (I still play)
@@kingofuseddurablecars.ls6040 Bro you don't know shit about what he's been through. Obviously he has suffered on the terms of a lifelong dream. There are many kinds of suffering.
Respect to Jabari, and respect to that reporter. That’s a man that also happens to be a reporter.. He could’ve left the camera in his face, but instead, he put it down allow Jabari to go through what he was feeling. Sadly, this reporter would never make it in the NBA, but that’s what makes this situation unique to me
Reporter was a professional, but also acted like a human being. You don't always see that. In the olden days, a star athlete might have asked the newsman to cut that last part out, or traded the chance for a future interview for a friendly editing of the footage. Not anymore...
The reporter was professional to some extent. He did show compassion and empathy, but he didn't have to call him a "boy". Especially when he's that vulnerable, but glad he's back on the court and I hope he continues to find peace with his career because he has won in my book
@@brianmcfadden1573I think that’s more of a language barrier thing than anything else. He clearly meant it as a term of endearment, trying to be casual with him. But an American reporter native English speaker wouldn’t say that I agree.
he didnt cry because of basketball he cried because of the pain of not being with his family and making this sacrifice to provide for them if u listen he said there was no injurie and everyone gets to go home to his family but he doesnt have that opportunity so that is what hurts him the most beyond words it was the hardest one year of his life i caqnt even imaGINE LEAVING MY FAMILY FOR THAT LONG BIG RESPECT TO HIM GOD BLESS
calm down he was and is a multi multi millionaire who has more money than 99.9999999999999% of people from THE DAY he signed his rookie deal. What you wrote is incorrect, go ahead and delete it.
Been there. I lived in Europe 5 years been home now for a few years and it is absolutely beyond comprehension when you leave America. It is like walking in another universe and America is a planet far far away. It is so intense that when asked about it you do break down and its ok! This is a good American man.
Being from Chicago and meeting Jabari before. I could feel his pain, life’s ups and downs sometimes can get triggered by moments like this. Moments of reflection
I felt that... As soon as he grabbed his face i knew the exact feeling. Hope this man has a strong shoulder he can lean on cause his heart is definitely heavy from something.
I think his injuries affecting his NBA career and then having to make the adjustment by playing overseas away from the culture and family/friends he grew up with is hard for him. That seems like a really adjustment to make.
It’s real out here in life and your really never know what people are going thru. Blessings to Jabari and his family. He is talented and kind person who is just trying to provide for his family.
Living outside of America and experiencing some purity that remains in the world will do the to you. It's such a beautiful thing to simply be able to walk down to the beach or to know that the culture you reside in doesn't revolve around degeneracy. I'm sure this was such an eye-opening experience for someone who is still so young. I've been a fan of Jabari since his Simeon days. I thought he was even better than the Greek Freak their first couple of years. His knee injuries thwarted substantial progress for the Bucks, however. Nothing but respect and admiration for Jabari. Always been a big fan. 🙏🏾
Great interview from Jabari. The last question triggered some emotions. I saw another interview from Rich Paul where he said Jabari"s tears were a good thing because it was tears of relief and greatfulness for what he had to overcome interms of injury to get the opportunity in Europe after injury ended his time in the NBA.
Jabari is a class act and good to see something like this. It shows the other side of baller life.. Not the fancy cars, women and money....Some humbleness and the grind. I'm a Wizards fan and a Terps fan so I shouldn't even be praising a former Duke player. I'm just praising a human being and I see something here I feel like I can relate to for some reason.
The report was actually very respectful. People that think the reporter was being racist by calling him "boy", have obviously never left outside of the US before. There are cultural differences and boy is a term of endearment to address someone younger than you like "child" in many countries. The reporter is asking questions as part of his job. When he saw Parker was breaking down, the reporter first asked if he should stop, to which he ultimately made the decision to shutdown the interview when Parker wouldn't respond.
Its unprofessional. If I interview my best Friend for Broadcast I would call him Sir or Mr. Parker. It seems like the reporter knows him well which is not the case since he's new there therefoe it's at least disrespectful. And Spain is r..... as f...
@@realtalk1989-nk5xl If the reporter is 60 years old and Jabari Parker is in his 30's, he could see Parker as a hypothetical son in that situation with a young man breaking down emotionally. Hence, "boy", a term like "hey kid" or "hey bud" used geographically was used. End of story
Keep your head up Jabari! Even if you're not playing in the NBA anymore, there are still lots of your fans in the states rooting for you brother! Do what you got to do. Don't let anything bring you down cause the way I see it, you're still good at what you do bro! Chin up Jabari!
I remember meeting when him at summer league in Vegas he was underage so he couldn't get the club so he was just walking in Vegas. I spoke to him he was a rookie He was so humble and down to earth its great to see him playing still even if is oversea!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Respect to them both. Great interview by Mr. Parker, he represented his team very well. Kudos to the reporter for putting the importance of the person before the story.
Big respect to jabari im happy to see him back out there and still doing what he loves i m very very happy for him 💯💯 and respect to the reporter as well for understanding the situation and checking on him and then ending the interview much love and respect 💯💯
I've so much respect for NBA dudes playing overseas. It ain't NBA money and coverage but you still get to play the game as a career, be in a competitive environment and also see the world.
Yo kid --- you Delusional!

Jabari, keep your head up bro. Don’t give up no matter what. It is obviously hard to go through all of this. Hope you make your way back to the NBA. You are still young. Just keep working on your craft and get better. Isiah Thomas persevered and made it back. Everyone is different and it’s really hard.. You had a moment just and everyone knows you are doing your best going through it. Please stay strong. I will pray for you. ❤️🙏🏽
God bless you Jabari. It takes a lot of character to keep pursuing something you love in spite of all life's setbacks. 2nd pick overall, 2014 NBA Draft, 7-year NBA player, Jabari Parker.
Feel bad for Jabari. He was on his way to becoming a fucking superstar before and after the first ACL tear. The second one, however, really seemed to derail his career. Never seen a dude lose his bounce like that in one offseason. I still love this dude. Hurts me even more since I was (and still am) such a fan.
Although I never cared for him and always thought he was overrated, this is hard to see. Never want to see someone down like this. Hope he gets better mentally and does his thing overseas.
Dam bro we still love you bro keep you head high we didn’t forget about you cuz we still talk about you it’s not your fault injuries bro we totally understand don’t let this bring you down keep playing man keep playin keep playing
I felt that.... I felt that. At least he didn't quit on his dream. A testament for me & now. Life hard, but it would be harder if you give up on your dreams, goals, aspirations. 📝
Jabari Parker is a pure Hooper and an even better person based on what I've seen from him since his college days. He's still worthy of a NBA roster spot playing some quality minutes for a contender!
I'm sure a lot of people can relate to this. I moved over 1,000 miles from home in 2021 for work. Every weekend I'm missing out on time spent with my grandparents who are getting up there in age. I'm also not building memories with the rest of my family and friends. Bouncing out of the NBA and moving overseas to play ball has to be terrible. The novelty would wear off very fast, and the reality of the situation would be harsh.
@@wowthatsinteresting8951 keep in mind that Spaniards are generally awful at English compared to other Europeans, like Scandinavians, Dutch people, Serbians, Turks etc. So, yea, he meant no harm, his English is just terrible and that's OK.
He said Bari he even said Bari at the beginning of the interview. This a reach.He was emotional because of the loss. On top of the question at the end about basically brought him back to realizing he not in the NBA no more
"What's wrong, boy?" Case in point, that it's not the words that hurt but the intent behind them. Here, "boy" was used lovingly, thus perfectly acceptable.
American media would have put the camera closer and baited him with more question so he has a major outburst and they can get content for the week. Then about 20 "analysts" would have kept the topic on rotation for at least 2 weeks and mentions in the future
For every superstar there are 10 guys that didnt make it, some of them equally hardworking if not more. It's a lesson I wouldn't wish anyone to learn the hard way.
Both Jabari and the reporter did amazing in this interview! In the other side Jabari Parker seems a very good young man tho and looks decent without any inks in his body to show compares some Americans players showing a lot of tatts of their head which is doesn’t looks nice to look at it specially for the kids! However despite of Jabari’s up and down when he was an nba player he was a forced scorer full of potential until injuries hits him and ended his nba tenure but his still blessed as I could seen here that he looks healthy enough to play ball overseas and foremost that he already made of tons of millions of his basketball career so his all set for life as long he knows how to handles his hard work breads and has a lot good things ahead of him bruh👍😎
Jabari was that guy.. injuries man.. such a shame. he was an all star calibre player maybe more.. such a shame. always rooted for the guy to be injury free
A couple of moons ago....Jabari was on magazine covers as a high schooler being touted as " The Next One". Life doesn't always stay on the script that we write for ourselves. It seems as though he has gained/ maintained the proper perspective on his journey. PROPS!!
He misses home and feels alone in Spain....he used to be a top project when he was drafted but injuries kept him back....he is a great basketball player and sure deserves a spot in the NBA imo
i know why he cried because it is lonely overseas, it is a humbling experience also. He probably felt like a failure when he asked that question. I felt his pain I live in Milwaukee and I got to see him at the height of his career. He brought alot to the city he had posters in every school telling kids to come to school. I will always be a fan of him as a man.
Jabari should still be in the NBA I have seen him dominate the board and get buckets coming off the bench For the bucks and be productive in the game they just didn’t give him enough playing time or keep him in the rotation…..NBA gives you a good 4-5 years to be a Star player or a good role player on a NBA team if that doesn’t happen you get traded bench and the new young players take the veterans starting role or benched!
No team will take a chance on him, in 8 seasons his two top seaons as far as games played were 76 games one season and 51 games the next most... The rest have been under 40 games... He simply can't stay healthy, and these were in his early to mid 20's.. He's 29 now, I don't see how his body suddenly starts to regenerate.. Unfortunate for Jabari, but he's still in the second best league in the world, the ACB.. I think the pain here comes from the fact he knows his body simply isn't up to the task of staying healthy. A case of the mind is willing but the body is not... He knows what he's capable of talent wise but his body just isn't cooperating...
Ish has to hurt! Knowing you had the talent to be one of them one's in the league, and it just wasn't in tje cards. Was one of my favorite young players back then too.
He’s still in a much much more comfortable position financially than most working class citizens. At the end of the day it’s just a game, you go all your life practicing basketball and now you’re stuck with it as an adult out of the league. Wanna be with your friends and family but the opportunity you have is calling for you to stay overseas. Then I’d you’re not getting scouted while playing above average nba level then you’re just working overseas away from your friends and family back in the states. Plenty of people go through that but that’s part of pride before the fall. Honestly have no idea why he was crying during that interview. I doubt it was because he’s not in the nba anymore. Probably something very serious going on, not basketball related.
Sucks what injuries did to his career he was supposed to be a star!! Man it sucks but props and respect to him for still going. May not be the nba but it’s better then quitting

Never seen a dude lose his bounce like that in one offseason. I still love this dude. Hurts me even more since I was (and still am) such a fan.
Nothing but respect jersey city keep working keep rising
“What’s wrong boy” is crazy 😂🤦🏽♂️
It’s how they say “young man” over there
I heard that too!
Y’all are slow they ain’t in America different way of speaking smh
@@anthonyhankes7599it’s a joke Anthony…are we really the slow ones?
@@Stayinthehousegoofy Yeah cornball when majority of the comments literally are saying the same thing so again it makes you slow as well
Now that is a classy journalist. respect.
Although I never cared for him and always thought he was overrated, this is hard to see. Never want to see someone down like this. Hope he gets better mentally and does his thing overseas.
God bless this man he is a beast regardless of injuries keep you head up
Preciate the reporter respecting Jabari's struggle and not trying to capitalize on it. Bless
Dam bro we still love you bro keep you head high we didn’t forget about you cuz we still talk about you it’s not your fault injuries bro we totally understand don’t let this bring you down keep playing man keep playin keep playing
I felt that.... I felt that. At least he didn't quit on his dream. A testament for me & now. Life hard, but it would be harder if you give up on your dreams, goals, aspirations. 📝
Jabari Parker is a pure Hooper and an even better person based on what I've seen from him since his college days. He's still worthy of a NBA roster spot playing some quality minutes for a contender!
Jabari Parker was supposed to be what Giannis is for the Bucks franchise.
Greatness is turning up and fighting through it, even when no one sees the real battle. Keep on Jabari. ✊🏽
I'm sure a lot of people can relate to this. I moved over 1,000 miles from home in 2021 for work. Every weekend I'm missing out on time spent with my grandparents who are getting up there in age. I'm also not building memories with the rest of my family and friends. Bouncing out of the NBA and moving overseas to play ball has to be terrible. The novelty would wear off very fast, and the reality of the situation would be harsh.
Kind reporter gave him a little encouragement, and said we can talk later.
I DON'T THINK THE REPORTER MEANT ANY HARM IN CALLING HIM BOY BUT I KNOW HE WISH HE COULD BE IN THE USA WITH FAMILY AND KIDS
whats wrong boi
No harm lol
I thought he said Bari lol
@@wowthatsinteresting8951 keep in mind that Spaniards are generally awful at English compared to other Europeans, like Scandinavians, Dutch people, Serbians, Turks etc. So, yea, he meant no harm, his English is just terrible and that's OK.
Nah lol reporter innocent af
That feeling when you are so in tears and you attempt to speak but the sounds can't come out.
Always been a fan of Jabari. Even more so now.
Im proud of you Parker your still coming back too the NBA I BELIEVE IN YOU..
This guy take a lot and only shows how all his injury take an impact on him. I Hope he will reborn at Barca phisiclly and specially mentally.
👑 still winning 🏆 💯
I have always loved Jabari.
I'm still a fan of Jabari. I wish him and his family the best!
God bless Jabari
He said Bari he even said Bari at the beginning of the interview. This a reach.He was emotional because of the loss. On top of the question at the end about basically brought him back to realizing he not in the NBA no more
He said Bari (sounded more like BAH ) with a AH sound in the beginning, I replayed it several times, he definitely called him boy the second time.
@@jay5756 what's the problem with calling him boy? You Americans are incredible really...
@@Fenix-lr6ezthings get a bit tense when a white man calls a black man “boy”, in US at least
@@ImUrZaddy well, it doesn't have any connotation here in Spain. Racist least of all
@@Fenix-lr6ez America is a sick place.
Being humbled by life is far better than having success without character change and growth
Respect to the reporter
Keep doing that Thing Mr Parker! Keep Pressing! 🙌🏾
When you pour your whole life heart and soul into this it hits different 🫶🏽
Respect to that reporter.
big props..big resiliency, salute.
Wow Jabari is a real one. Bless him
"What's wrong, boy?" Case in point, that it's not the words that hurt but the intent behind them. Here, "boy" was used lovingly, thus perfectly acceptable.
Much respect to bro. I hope he alright and I hope he makes it back to the nba where he belongs.
American media would have put the camera closer and baited him with more question so he has a major outburst and they can get content for the week.
Then about 20 "analysts" would have kept the topic on rotation for at least 2 weeks and mentions in the future
For every superstar there are 10 guys that didnt make it, some of them equally hardworking if not more. It's a lesson I wouldn't wish anyone to learn the hard way.
Good to see he's taking care of his body. He looks jacked!
Both Jabari and the reporter did amazing in this interview! In the other side Jabari Parker seems a very good young man tho and looks decent without any inks in his body to show compares some Americans players showing a lot of tatts of their head which is doesn’t looks nice to look at it specially for the kids! However despite of Jabari’s up and down when he was an nba player he was a forced scorer full of potential until injuries hits him and ended his nba tenure but his still blessed as I could seen here that he looks healthy enough to play ball overseas and foremost that he already made of tons of millions of his basketball career so his all set for life as long he knows how to handles his hard work breads and has a lot good things ahead of him bruh👍😎
Jabari was that guy.. injuries man.. such a shame. he was an all star calibre player maybe more.. such a shame. always rooted for the guy to be injury free
Jabari Parker was, is and will always be that guy . High potential !
He miss the nba but most importantly his family his injuries destroyed his career sad the team he played real minutes for in finals now
A couple of moons ago....Jabari was on magazine covers as a high schooler being touted as " The Next One". Life doesn't always stay on the script that we write for ourselves. It seems as though he has gained/ maintained the proper perspective on his journey. PROPS!!
This the same man who said he don’t get paid to play defense..
He misses home and feels alone in Spain....he used to be a top project when he was drafted but injuries kept him back....he is a great basketball player and sure deserves a spot in the NBA imo
Jabari Parker is such a good man
To me, ge was better than wiggings, but those injuries can mess anybody up. Keep going bro 💪
i know why he cried because it is lonely overseas, it is a humbling experience also. He probably felt like a failure when he asked that question. I felt his pain I live in Milwaukee and I got to see him at the height of his career. He brought alot to the city he had posters in every school telling kids to come to school. I will always be a fan of him as a man.
I thought he was going to be a bonified star in the NBA. Good to see him still doing what he loves and getting his fruits out of life.
Man hes a class person, you can tell
Jabari should still be in the NBA I have seen him dominate the board and get buckets coming off the bench For the bucks and be productive in the game they just didn’t give him enough playing time or keep him in the rotation…..NBA gives you a good 4-5 years to be a Star player or a good role player on a NBA team if that doesn’t happen you get traded bench and the new young players take the veterans starting role or benched!
No team will take a chance on him, in 8 seasons his two top seaons as far as games played were 76 games one season and 51 games the
next most...
The rest have been under 40 games...
He simply can't stay healthy, and these were in his early to mid 20's..
He's 29 now, I don't see how his body suddenly starts to regenerate..
Unfortunate for Jabari, but he's still in the second best league in the world, the ACB..
I think the pain here comes from the fact he knows his body simply isn't up to the task of staying healthy.
A case of the mind is willing but the body is not...
He knows what he's capable of
talent wise but his body just isn't cooperating...
Ish has to hurt! Knowing you had the talent to be one of them one's in the league, and it just wasn't in tje cards. Was one of my favorite young players back then too.
He’s still in a much much more comfortable position financially than most working class citizens. At the end of the day it’s just a game, you go all your life practicing basketball and now you’re stuck with it as an adult out of the league. Wanna be with your friends and family but the opportunity you have is calling for you to stay overseas. Then I’d you’re not getting scouted while playing above average nba level then you’re just working overseas away from your friends and family back in the states. Plenty of people go through that but that’s part of pride before the fall. Honestly have no idea why he was crying during that interview. I doubt it was because he’s not in the nba anymore. Probably something very serious going on, not basketball related.
KEEP BALLIN!!!
Jabari Parker a legend. Keep hoopin
Jabari did what he had to do. Hold your head up high brother. We all make sacrifices.
Sucks what injuries did to his career he was supposed to be a star!! Man it sucks but props and respect to him for still going. May not be the nba but it’s better then quitting
Basketball isn’t life and you just confirmed that for him.
God blessed him.
