The topic of this conversation was primarily about LA's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, and whether or not this bounce back games makes up for that. For Parsons, he called this a mature win, but he is not impressed with the Lakers taking care of business against the worst team in the NBA.
As Parsons noted, the Pistons are on pace to be the worst team in NBA history in many ways, which is why he is not ready to give the Lakers much credit for dominating them. That said, the Lakers can only play the teams on their schedule, and did what they needed to do against the Pistons.
Now an analyst, Parsons spent nine seasons in the NBA, playing three seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies, three seasons with the Houston Rockets, two seasons with the Dallas Mavericks, and five games with the Atlanta Hawks to end his career.
