We’ve all been there. You’re an NBA player who’s foolish enough or unlucky enough to be awake before 3PM. You have a lot of time on your hands. Your name is a Friends character. Chandler Parsons is no exception to the human condition.
The question then becomes what to do. Parsons answered that question by inviting more questions into his life. It’s a unique strategy. Let’s see how it worked out for him.
Q&A time!? Let's go!!

It started off with a chance to get into Chipotle’s mentions. It’s unclear what that means for where he’ll sign his next contract.
Flight, cap grille, Andrew Michaels, @ChipotleTweets 😎 https://t.co/4b0qzX6b5c

This wasn’t the only fast food related item he covered. Next he talked about sandwiches.
That's a hell of a question. https://t.co/38od1N5k2N

Then he talked about sandwiches.

There was a lot of this kind of stuff. Let’s just get it all out of the way as quickly as possible.
Exhausting 🙄 https://t.co/pBtTvPNPJ8

There's a very good chance https://t.co/Q0n5eK5eh3
— Chandler Parsons (@ChandlerParsons) December 2, 2016
Yep. That’ll do. Thanks.
From parentage to players now. Parsons was asked a difficult basketball question, and he kind of answered it.
He's up there . He's unreal https://t.co/8TIWlKSBYS

Then everything quickly devolved into shade.
— Chandler Parsons (@ChandlerParsons) December 2, 2016
And then more shade.
Under paid, over paid....paid. https://t.co/fiEEhYg3zQ

Things were starting to get heated. The shade was getting very hot. Shade can be hot sometimes.
Be smarter than that https://t.co/NBHAFfmpVs
— Chandler Parsons (@ChandlerParsons) December 2, 2016
So Chandler decided to set some shade on fire himself and chuck it in the general direction of Texas.
Yes I lose sleep over them losing. https://t.co/HZ08SWCelf
— Chandler Parsons (@ChandlerParsons) December 2, 2016
But putting the shade aside, there was one thing still clearly eating at Chandler like one would a McDonald’s hot dog.
Hopefully soon, working hard everyday https://t.co/7ZuuoqZw5V

It got to the point where he began beseeching fictional commercialization elves to perform surgery on his legs.
Healthy knees https://t.co/Otv2Yuf8XM

And then in the downer of all downers, he did this.
— Chandler Parsons (@ChandlerParsons) December 2, 2016
Presumably this was in reference to late singer Johnny Cash’s soulful rendition of the Nine Inch Nails song “Hurt” which was probably a cryptic way of referencing the state of his own body. There’s poetry in this Twitter game. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. I wonder where this journey is going to take us next.
Thanks!! Gotta go

Oh. Well, alright then. We all have things to do I suppose.
