Chandler Parsons wasn't supposed to be the headline. Drafted 38th overall in 2011, he came into the NBA without the hype machine behind him. But what followed was a career full of twists, big contracts, celebrity buzz, and a lifestyle that blurred the lines between athlete and icon. _Chandler Parsons: Fame, Fortune, and Free Throws_ tells the real story-raw, sharp, and unfiltered. This book walks through the moments that made Parsons unforgettable: the breakout games with the Houston Rockets, the massive $94 million deal with the Memphis Grizzlies, the injuries that derailed his momentum, and the 2020 car crash that forced a premature retirement. It also looks beyond the box scores, into a world of high-end real estate, A-list social circles, endorsement deals, and the calculated moves of a man who understood the business of being famous. More than a basketball biography, this is the portrait of a player who knew how to play both the game and the game around the game. Honest, detailed, and full of moments both glamorous and painful, _Fame, Fortune, and Free Throws_ shows how Chandler Parsons turned a basketball career into a full-blown brand-and what it cost him along the way.
