Chandler Parsons and Paul Pierce Recreate Emoji War
Remember two years ago when DeAndre Jordan was one of the biggest NBA free agents? During that time, former Mavericks player Chandler Parsons started an emoji war against then-members of the LA Clippers Blake Griffin, JJ Redick, and Chris Paul.
Jump two years ahead to today’s NBA free agency period, and Parsons and Pierce are back at it again trying to recreate that same war. This time, it stems from the recent Chris Paul trade to the Houston Rockets. Check out some of the tweets that jump-started the conversation.
