“No One Likes Him, He’s Getting Booed”- Chandler Parsons Takes Shots at Kristaps Porzingis

During a recent episode of “Run It Back” on Fanduel TV, Chandler Parsons, a former NBA player, criticized Boston Celtics forward Kristaps Porzingis and said that no one likes Porzingis in Dallas. Parsons claimed that Luka Doncic, the star player of the Dallas Mavericks, “did not like playing” with the Celtics’ star.

“It will be way more, you know, violent towards Kyrie Irving in Boston, no doubt, but don’t get twisted. They do not like Porzingis in Dallas. Luka did not like playing with him. There is an actual beef there where it’s going to be every time he touches the ball, he’s getting booed.” Parsons said.

He further mentioned that Dallas fans excel at showing appreciation for players and holding grudges against those who betrayed the team.

“Dallas, for whatever reason, those fans, they’re proud. Like, if you’re hurt, if you’re not playing, if you’re not doing what you were doing the years before you got to the Mavs, they don’t like you.” Parsons added.
