Jabari Parker (born March 15, 1995) is an American college basketball player for Duke University, where he is playing his freshman season for the 2013–14 team.[1] Parker earned the 2012 national boys' basketball Gatorade Player of the Year and the 2013 McDonald's All-American Game Morgan Wootten national player of the year at Simeon Career Academy. Parker is the son of former NBA player Sonny Parker.[2][3][4] In high school, he was often measured against former Simeon standout and 2011 NBA MVP, Derrick Rose.
He was the ESPN HS National Player of the Year for his class and an Illinois High School Association (IHSA) state champion as a freshman, sophomore and junior.[5] Many experts considered Parker the top player in the recruiting class of 2013, including ESPN, Scout.com and Rivals.com, until the summer 2012 when he endured a foot injury and Andrew Wiggins reclassified into the class of 2013.[1][6][7] As a junior he was named national Gatorade Player of the Year.[8] That year, he became the first non-senior Illinois Mr. Basketball and was named first team All-American by several selectors including ESPN HS and USA Today. He was the feature of a Sports Illustrated cover story as a high school junior.[9]
As a senior, he was selected to play in several all-star games, including the Jordan Brand Classic and the McDonald's All-American Game. He also became only the second player in the history of IHSA basketball to start for four consecutive state championship teams. He was recognized with the Morgan Wootten Award, which recognizes the McDonald's All-American Game's National Player of the year. He repeated as the Illinois Gatorade Player of the Year and Illinois Mr. Basketball. He finished among the top 5 players in the class of 2013 by all major selectors.
At Duke, he was preseason Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Rookie of the Year and a preseason All-ACC selection according to the ACC media. His 2013–14 Duke team was the preseason conference favorite. He was also preseason All-American according to several media sources and was listed on most major midseason watchlists for which he was eligible. He has earned two ACC Player of the week and a record-tying ten Rookie of the Week recognitions at Duke. Among Parker's Duke records are freshman single-game offensive rebounds and freshman season 20-point games. He was a 2013-14 All-ACC Academic 1st Team selection and earned the 2013-14 ACC Freshman of the Year award. He was a 2014 NCAA Men's Basketball All-American first team selection.
Early life
Parker's family has resided on Chicago's South Side since before Jabari was born, and he was raised in the South Shore community area.[3] Jabari's African-American father, Sonny, has served hundreds of Chicago metropolitan area children as youth foundation director since 1990. Jabari discovered basketball in one of his father's many leagues, although his father has never coached one of his teams.[2] He honed his basketball skills with his brother Christian on the basketball court at his local LDS Church meetinghouse in the Hyde Park community area in order to avoid the hazards of urban playgrounds.[9] By second grade his basketball skills were superior to the fifth-graders he was playing with and he competed in middle school leagues as a fifth-grader.[2] He credits his cousin Jay Parker who grew up with him for pushing him to be better going back to when Jabari was in third grade and Jay was in fifth grade.[10] Sometimes, Jabari and Christian played basketball all through the night at the church.[9] Jabari actually made the eighth-grade team as a fourth-grader, but could not play until fifth grade for insurance reasons.[3] In fifth grade, he had five Division I scholarship offers as a 6-foot (1.83 m) guard.[11] In sixth grade, when he stood at 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m), he visited Simeon for a day and scrimmaged with Rose.[9] Parker attended Robert A. Black Magnet Elementary and made headlines when he made Simeon Career Academy his high school choice, just like Rose, Nick Anderson, Ben Wilson, Bobby Simmons and Deon Thomas before him.[12][13] Parker has two older sisters who had attended Simeon.[14] However, he has claimed that the reason he chose Simeon was due to his perception of the likelihood that he could achieve team success on the basketball court (as measured in championships).[15] During the summer after finishing middle school, he received an National Basketball Players Association Top 100 Camp invitation, which he accepted. By this time, he stood at 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m).[16]
High school career
Freshman year
Simeon waived their longstanding ban against freshmen participating in varsity team play for Parker even though Rose and all the other stars before him had to play junior varsity as a freshman.[2] Parker was the first freshman to start on the Simeon varsity team in school history, but he had been playing with children older than him since the third or fourth grade.[17] In Parker's first game, he tallied 16 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, while playing with a splint on his left non-shooting hand to protect a wrist fracture.[18] Simeon and Young renewed the dormant annual rivalry between the two high school basketball teams.[19] Over the course of the season, he contributed 9.3 points per game, 5.0 rebounds per game and 3.0 assists per game, while his team won the IHSA Class 4A state championship, despite a 25–9 record.[5] In the Class 4A state final, he missed the final three quarters of the championship game against Whitney Young due to a foot injury.[20] By the end of the season, he had received numerous scholarship offers, including those from Illinois, Kansas, DePaul, Pittsburgh, Northwestern, Florida, Washington, BYU and Oregon State as well as significant interest from Kentucky, Duke and North Carolina.[21][22] He earned the ESPN HS 2010 Freshman of the Year.[5][23] He was a MaxPreps.com second team 2009-10 Boys Basketball Freshman All-American Team selection.[24]
Sophomore year
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/74/Jabari_Parker.jpg/220px-Jabari_Parker.jpg)
As a sophomore, Parker helped his team spend much of the season ranked nationally in the top five, according to USA Today.[25][26][27] One game was aired on ESPN.[28][29][30] Simeon's 23-game winning streak was ended by Whitney Young in the Chicago Public High School League semifinals,[4] although Parker was the only Wolverine to score in double figures.[31] Parker measured 6 feet 8 inches (2.03 m) 225 pounds (102.1 kg).[4] That season, he averaged 15.3 points and 5.9 rebounds per game, while his team won the IHSA Class 4A state championship with a 30–2 record.[5] In the state championship tournament, according to the Chicago Tribune, he was one of the two players who carried the team in the championship game 48–39 victory over Warren Township High School.[32] Parker scored a game-high 12 points and added 5 rebounds and 3 blocks in the game.[33][34]
He earned second team All-State recognition from the Chicago Tribune,[35] while the Chicago Sun-Times listed him as a Class 4A All-State first-team selection with Ryan Boatright, Tracy Abrams, David Sobolewski and Frank Kaminsky.[36] The 12-man Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Class 3A/4A boys' all-state first team included these five and Wayne Blackshear, Johnny Hill, Mike Shaw, Nnanna Egwu, Sam Thompson, Anthony Davis and Mycheal Henry.[37] He earned the ESPN HS 2011 Sophomore of the year.[5][38] He was a MaxPreps.com first team 2010-11 Boys Basketball Sophomore All-American Team selection.[39]
Junior year
2011 summer and preseason
After winning FIBA U16 gold, he participated in the July 2011 LeBron James Skill Academy, but at the time he was only ranked the number 2 basketball prospect in his class by ESPN.com, behind Julius Randle.[40] Some scouts, however, were starting to pencil him in as the 2014 NBA Draft first overall selection.[41] Early in his junior season declarations that he was the best high school basketball player in the country at any position in any class could be found in The New York Times.[3] Prior to his junior season, he was one of a handful of juniors invited to the August 5–7, 2011 5th annual Nike Global Challenge,[42] where he earned tournament MVP honors.[43]
2011–12 regular season
In early November, Dime Magazine described Parker as the number one high school basketball player in the country, regardless of class.[44] According to a ten-member panel of experts at ESPN HS he began the season as the second best player in the country behind senior Shabazz Muhammad in the Mr. Basketball USA poll.[45][46] At the time of the first game of the year, Simeon was ranked first in the nation and numerous scouts were attending his games.[3] On December 19, Parker established the Simeon single-game scoring record with 40 points in 21 minutes of play to go along with 16 rebounds and 6 blocked shots against Perspectives High School.[47][48][49] On December 22, Parker played a supporting role with 15 points, 6 rebounds and 5 blocks in Simeon's 62–55 come-from-behind victory over rival Young.[50][51][52] That January, Simeon faced top national competition. They defeated the ESPN HS Fab 50 number 34 Miller Grove (Ga.) 59–56 on January 7, with Parker being named MVP of the Cancer Research Classic in Wheeling for his 20-point and 6-rebound effort.[53][54] On January 16, Parker had 24 points and 12 rebounds in a 75–50 loss to number 6 Findlay Prep at the Hoophall Classic.[55][56] As a junior in high school, he received offers from Duke, Kansas, BYU, Kentucky, UNC and others.[57]
2012 postseason
When five players including two starters and the sixth man were suspended for the 2012 Chicago Public High School League quarterfinals contest, Parker posted 33 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocks to lead his team to a 73–62 victory over John Marshall Metropolitan High School on February 12.[58][59] Parker posted 19 points and 6 blocks to lead Simeon to the city championship game for the first time since Rose led the team to city and state championships in 2007 by defeating Orr High School 61–51 on February 15.[60][61] On February 17, Parker and Simeon won the Public League championship by defeating Curie Metropolitan High School 53–49, although Parker only contributed 11 points and 5 rebounds while battling foul trouble.[62][63] Both the semifinals and finals were broadcast on ESPN3.[64]
Coaches Izzo, Krzyzewski, Matta and Weber as well as Mayor Emanuel and cadres of their assistants were among those in attendance to see this March 6 IHSA sectional semifinal against Young won by Simeon 52–42 in which Parker led the way with 18 points and 6 rebounds.[65][66][67] In the days prior to the state final four, Parker stated that although Coach Weber had been fired, he remained interested in Illinois and other in-state schools such as DePaul and Northwestern.[68] Parker had 15 points in the March 17 championship game 50–48 victory over Proviso East High School,[69][70] resulting in a 33–1 junior year record for Simeon.[71] The state semifinals and the finals were broadcast live on ESPN3.[64] For the season, Parker averaged 19.5 points, 8.9 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 3.3 blocks and 1.4 steals per game[71][72][73] or 20.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 3.4 blocks and 1.5 steals per game,[74][75] depending on the source, while shooting 55 percent from the field, 39 percent from 3-point range and 72 percent from the free-throw line.[71][72][74] Following the season, he was featured in a May cover story in Sports Illustrated with the title "The Best High School Basketball Player Since LeBron James is...Jabari Parker But There's Something More Important To Him Than Instant NBA Stardom: His Faith". The story presented his humility and noted that he is conflicted on his decision to serve as a LDS missionary.[9] Parker announced that he anticipated trimming his potential schools to a list of five by the end of the summer so that he could plan official visits.[76]

Senior year
2012 summer and preseason

This type of scheduling began when Derrick Rose played for Simeon and the IHSA lifted the 500-mile radius rule for travel.[110] Three of the showcase games were broadcast nationally on one of the ESPN networks.[111]
2013 postseason
Simeon was ousted from the Chicago Public High School League playoff in the semifinals by Morgan Park by a 54–53 score in overtime as Parker posted 14 points and 8 rebounds on an off shooting night where he was 4-for-17 from the field.[112]

Comparisons
Parker has been frequently compared to Derrick Rose According to Chicago Sun-Times writer Michael O'Brien, as of November 2011[update], Rose had a 3–0 advantage in defining moments: "the back-to-back dunks against Washington in the city championship at the United Center, the game-winning shot in overtime to give Simeon the state championship against Peoria Richwoods and the dismantling of Oak Hill, the top-ranked team in the country."[151] Rose's game against the Oak Hill team with Brandon Jennings, Nolan Smith and Alex Legion on ESPN is described as Rose' national introduction.[152] Although there are natural comparisons to Rose, his game is most often compared to Grant Hill and Paul Pierce.[2][21][153] Dime Magazine describes him as "Grant Hill with a jump shot".[154] Parker claims to model his game after Paul Pierce and Carmelo Anthony.[4] He hopes to be regarded as the best high school basketball player in the history of the city of Chicago and has stated "Being compared to Derrick also drives me. I know if I get better than him or break the records he broke I could be one of the best players to come out of Chicago. I look forward to being one of those players."[72]
Because of the title of the Sports Illustrated story that compared Parker to LeBron James, there were comparisons. Writers, such as Sporting News' Mike DeCourcy, stated that although Parker is a rare talent, he had not eclipsed Greg Oden and was thus only the best high school basketball player since Oden.[155] In addition, Parker is considered to have a much less developed physique than James at the same stage of development.[156] CBS Sports' Jeff Borzello also contested the proclamation, pointing out that since James 2003 class both Dwight Howard (2004) and Oden 2006 were both consensus top players in their classes and that Parker might not be any better than the most recent consensus, Oden. In addition, CBS noted that Parker might not even be the best high school basketball player in the country, given the development of class of 2014's Andrew Wiggins.[157] Chicago Tribune writer Mike Helfgot described the Sports Illustrated comparison as "incredibly irresponsible journalism", noting he had once worked for the Star-Ledger when it described Derrick Caracter as the next James.[158]
Following his four consecutive championships with Simeon, Parker (and Chicago's Simeon) were compared to McClain (and Peoria's Manual). Peoria's Journal Star emphasized that McClain was 32–0 as a starter in IHSA play because in the 1994–97 time period the IHSA was only divided into two classes. Thus, Manual had to wade through an 8-round tournament instead of the 7-round modern 4-class format.[119] However, Simeon won 6 of its 7 games in its final championship by more than 10 points, while Manual only won 3 of its 8 by such a margin.[119] In the postgame press conference, Simeon Coach Smith emphasized that his team had to endure the pressure of playing a national schedule that included games against elite teams in distant venues.[citation needed] Note, that with the 4-class system rather than the 2-class system of the past, the 2013 Class 3A IHSA champion was CPL runner-up Morgan Park, who split 2 neutral court 2013 games with Simeon.[118] As noted above, Rose-era Simeon teams only won 2 championships in the 2-class era.[151] Adding Parker's 55-11 start[5] to a 33–1 junior year[71] and a 30–3 senior season[98][118] gives him a 118–15 legacy compared to Rose's 120–12.[151]
College career
Freshman year
Offseason
After he recovered from his high school senior season injury and verbally committed to Duke, Parker was projected by the press as a true freshman starter for Duke.[159] Parker has stated that his expectation of himself will be to fill in Ryan Kelly's shoes, stating "I'll replace what Ryan Kelly has done, I play the same position, we're about the same size. I can pick up what he laid down".[160] Parker's expectations of himself were echoed by the press who expect him to help offset the loss of seniors Mason Plumlee, Seth Curry and Kelly.[161][162] In late April 2013, ESPN's Jason King projected Duke as a top 5 team noting "The biggest reason for optimism is incoming freshman Jabari Parker."[163] A few days later USA Today journalists Nicole Auerbach and Scott Gleeson projected Duke as the number 4 ranked team and stated "Jabari Parker will make an immediate impact".[164] On April 30, ESPN's Eamonn Brennan went so far as to name him a second team 2013-14 pre-offseason All-American selection.[165]
On May 2, Duke announced that Parker had officially signed his National Letter of Intent (NLI).[166] The Charlotte Observer reported that Parker signed his NLI at Simeon on May 1 and that he would wear the number 1, a number only previously worn at Duke by Kyrie Irving.[167] Parker will begin his Duke career in the 2013 Champions Classic at his hometown United Center against Wiggins' 2013–14 Kansas Jayhawks.[168] In June 2013, Sporting News' Mike DeCourcy named Parker the second best power forward (behind Doug McDermott) for the upcoming season.[169] During the summer, he participated in the Nike sponsored Chi-League, a 9-weekend 10-team Chicago summer pro-am league,[170] where he teamed with Alexander.[171][172][173]
Preseason
On September 6, Sporting News named Parker to its preseason All-American first team (along with Doug McDermott, Marcus Smart, Mitch McGary and Andrew Wiggins), while teammate Rodney Hood was a third team selection.[174] USA Today named him to the its preseason first team as well (along with McDermott, Smart, Randle and Wiggins.[175] Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook named Parker a preseason second team All-American, while naming teammate Rasheed Sulaimon a fourth team selection.[176] CBS Sports selected Parker as a preseason All-American (second team) selection along with teammate Hood (third team).[177] As Duke began its training camp, Krzyzewski said the team would be built around Hood and Parker.[178]
On October 16, Parker was named preseason All-ACC along with Hood, C. J. Fair, Joe Harris and Jerian Grant. With Hood and Parker, Duke earned 50 of the 54 first place votes, making them the media's choice as the ACC favorite. Parker was also named the preseason ACC Rookie of the Year.[179][180] On November 4, he was named to the preseason 10-player watchlist for the Wayman Tisdale Award along with Tyler Ennis, Gordon, Aa Harrison, An Harrison, Kasey Hill, Randle, Wayne Selden, Wiggins, and James Young.[181] He was also on the 15-man Oscar Robertson Trophy Preseason Watch List.[182] Parker was one of nine freshmen named to the 50-man Wooden Award preseason watchlist.[183]
On October 18, Duke held its "Countdown to Craziness", Midnight Madness celebration. Parker scrimmaged with what appeared to be a group of starters: Amile Jefferson, Hood, Andre Dawkins and Quinn Cook.[184][185] After Duke's preseason exhibitions, Evan Daniels of FOX Sports and Scout.com predicted Parker would average 20 points as a freshman.[186]
Regular season
On November 8, Parker debuted with 22 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block against Davidson. He made his first five field goals for the Blue Devils. Parker became Krzyzewski's fifth freshman to debut with 20 points and was part of Duke's first game with four 20-point scorers (along with Hood, Cook and Sulaimon) in school history. For his efforts, Parker earned the ACC Rookie of the Week on November 11.[187][188][189] On November 13, Parker earned his second Sports Illustrated cover as part of a four-version set of regional covers depicting college basketball's greatest rivalries on the College Basketball Preview Issue. Parker and North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball player James Michael McAdoo represented the Carolina–Duke rivalry on one of the four regional versions.[190] On November 12 in the Champions Classic at his hometown United Center, Parker posted 27 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, and 1 block in a losing effort against Wiggins' Kansas Jayhawks.[191] The game was part of a doubleheader that was well-hyped and widely covered in the press.[192][193] On November 15, Parker posted a double-double with 21 points, and 10 rebounds as well as 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Parker became 34th-year head coach Krzyzewski's first freshman to debut with three consecutive 20-point performances.[194] As a result, he was named co-ACC Player of the Week (with Olivier Hanlan) and ACC Rookie of the Week on November 18 and was ranked among the ACC leaders in several statistics (23.3 points/game - 2nd, 8.3 rebounds/game – T-2nd, .688 three-point percentage – 1st).[195][196] With three more 20-point efforts,[197][198][199] he earned his third consecutive ACC Rookie of the week on November 25. Parker is the first NCAA Division I freshman since Eric Gordon of the 2007–08 Indiana Hoosiers to open his career with six consecutive 20-point efforts and the first Duke player to open a season with six consecutive 20-point performances since Art Heyman had ten as a junior for the 1961-62 Blue Devils.[200][201] According to ESPN, when he scored 27 points in Duke's seventh game against Alabama on November 27, he joined Gordon and Kevin Durant of the 2006–07 Texas Longhorns as the only Division I freshmen in the past 10 seasons to score 20 or more in each of their first seven games.[202] Duke Athletics, only credits Durant and Parker (not Gordon) with having scored 20 in their first 7 games,[203] but that disagrees with Associated Press and STATS LLC reporting used by ESPN, which claims that a first half injury in the 2007–08 Hoosier's eighth game kept Gordon from continuing his streak.[204] Durant's streak was ended by the (No. 11 ESPN/USA Today; No. 9 AP) Tasmin Mitchell/Glen Davis-led LSU Tigers on a night when Durant posted a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds.[205] Parker's streak was ended at seven by Aaron Gordon's number four ranked 2013–14 Arizona Wildcats on November 29.[203][206] On December 16, Parker 21 points and 6 rebounds against Gardner–Webb, and he tallied 23 points and 8 rebounds against UCLA on December 19.[207][208] As a result of his 22-point 8-rebound average for the week, Parker earned his fourth ACC Rookie of the Week honor on December 23 and Wayman Tisdale National Freshman of the Week on December 24 by the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA).[209][210][211] The UCLA game marked his 9th 20 point game and 3rd double double of the season.[212] He passed Carlos Boozer and Luol Deng and tied J. J. Redick and Johnny Dawkins for third on Duke's freshman 20-point game list.[213] Parker had his 10th 20-point game against Eastern Michigan on December 28, tying Mike Gminski for second among Duke freshmen.[214]
Parker had his first single digit game in Duke's 2013–14 ACC season opening 79–77 loss against Notre Dame.[215] With the loss, Duke fell from the top 10 in the AP Poll for the first time in 122 weeks of the poll (since November 19, 1997).[216] On January 18, Parker scored 23 against NC State, tying him with Gene Banks for most 20-point games by a Duke freshman.[217] On January 22, Parker posted 17 points, 3 blocks and a career-high 15 rebounds against Miami with Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade in attendance.[218] On January 25, Parker tallied 14 points, 3 steals and 14 rebounds against Florida State to help Mike Krzyzewski win his 900th game at Duke.[219] His effort at Florida included 10 offensive rebounds, a Duke freshman record. As a result, Parker earned his fifth ACC freshman of the week recognition on January 27.[220][221] Parker scored 21 points and had 11 rebounds on January 27 against #18 Pittsburgh. With his 12th 20-point game, he established a Duke record for freshmen and moved into 6th place on the ACC freshman list.[222] Against number two ranked Syracuse on February 1, Parker posted 15 points, nine rebounds and 2 steals, leaving him just shy of his fourth consecutive double-double.[223] On February 3, Parker earned Co-ACC rookie of the week with Tyler Ennis marking his sixth selection.[224][225] Later that day, Parker posted 21 points along with 8 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 blocks against Wake Forest, marking his 13th 20-point game,[226] which tied him with Mark Price for fifth all-time among ACC freshmen.[222] On February 8, Parker scored 29 points and added 16 rebounds and 3 blocks against 2013–14 Boston College Eagles men's basketball team. This marked career highs in points and rebounds, placed him in the lead in ACC double-doubles for the season and moved him into fourth place tie among ACC freshmen with Tyler Hansbrough for 20-point games.[227] Parker earned his second ACC player of the week and seventh ACC rookie of the week recognition on February 10.[228][229] On February 15, Parker posted 23 points (including the game-winning dunk), 8 rebounds and 2 blocks against Maryland, marking his 15th 20-point performance and tying Joe Smith for third on the all-time ACC freshman list.[230] On February 17 Parker earned his eighth and fourth consecutive ACC Freshman of the Week honor. This left him two short of the record 10 ACC Freshman of the Week honors set by Kenny Anderson (1990) and tied by Hansbrough (2006).[231][232] Parker posted consecutive double doubles on February 18, 20 and 22 against Georgia Tech, North Carolina and Syracuse, respectively.[233][234][235] For the week, Parker avereged 17.3 points, 11.7 rebounds and 2.0 blocks. On February 24, Parker won his fifth consecutive ACC Freshman of the Week honor, giving him nine which tied Austin Rivers' school record and leaving him one shy of the ACC record.[236][237] On March 5, Parker posted 19 points and 10 rebounds against Wake Forest.[238] On March 8, in the second Carolina–Duke rivalry game of the season, Parker had a career high 30 points, which was the 4th highest Duke freshman single-game total (behind J. J. Redick, Kyrie Irving and Johnny Dawkins) and the 2nd highest total ever by a freshman in the history of the rivalry (Walter Davis).[239] His 16th 20-point game ties him with Stephon Marbury for second among ACC freshman all-time, behind only Anderson's total of 19.[230] On March 10, he earned a record-tying tenth ACC rookie of the week honor in the final week of the regular season.[240][241]

Personal
Parker is of Tongan and African American descent. His parents are Folola "Lola" Finau-Parker and Sonny Parker.[5] His father, Sonny, a Chicago native, played for the Texas A&M Aggies before becoming a 1976 NBA Draft first round selection (17th overall) by the Golden State Warriors.[2] He played in the NBA for six seasons.[4] Sonny was an NBA teammate of Washington Huskies men's basketball head coach Lorenzo Romar.[2] He is now afflicted with kidney problems that require dialysis, making it difficult for him to attend Jabari's games.[274] His mother, Lola, a Polynesian native of Tonga, is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and emigrated to Salt Lake City at age three.[2] Her grandfather was the second Tongan baptized by LDS missionaries.[9] Several of Lola's cousins are National Football League athletes, including Harvey Unga, Haloti Ngata and Tony Moeaki.[4][270] His parents met at a mall when she was a student at Brigham Young University and he was playing for the Warriors.[2][3][9] After helping him find a dress shirt, Sonny left her tickets to his game.[9] After he retired and she served her mission, they married and settled in Chicago.[9] The family lives in the South Shore community area where his parents settled after marrying[3] and has turned down two movie offers.[2]
Parker has six siblings.[4] His older brothers are named Darryl and Christian, while his older sisters are named Iman and Tilah.[5] Darryl lettered two years for the Oregon Ducks basketball team,[275] starting for the team in the 1995 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament.[276] Christian played basketball for Brigham Young University–Hawaii.[9]
Lola raised Jabari in the LDS Church. In addition to attending Simeon, Parker attends LDS Seminary two mornings a week, according to ESPN, and three days a week, according to The New York Times, Sports Illustrated and Chicago Sun-Times.[2][3][9][270] At the time of his sixteenth birthday, he became a LDS priest (as is customary in his faith). He has both performed baptisms and administered the weekly sacrament.[9] In addition, he regularly travels with his bishop during his monthly visitations to comfort the sick, the poor and the elderly.[9]
Parker works out with basketball trainer Tim Grover.[2] Jabari prefers individual training sessions with his brother Darryl instead of playing pick-up games.[277] Following his sophomore year, ESPN reported that he had a 3.4 grade point average.[2] By the end of the first semester of his junior year, The New York Times reported his GPA was 3.7.[3] By April of his junior year, his GPA was 3.63, ranking 18th in his class of 377 and his extracurricular activities includes service as the principal-appointed president of student representatives to the local school council, a youth basketball instructor, and a volunteer for Operation PUSH, The Salvation Army and the New Beginnings Church.[74] At the time of his May 2012 Sports Illustrated feature story, he was known for carrying a backpack equipped with basketball equipment, an iPod and a copy of the Book of Mormon.[9]
