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]

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. He was selected USBWA National Freshman of the Year.

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]

During the season, 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.[33][34][35] As a junior in high school, he received offers from Duke, Kansas, BYU, Kentucky, UNC and others.[36] On February 17, Parker and Simeon won the Public League championship by defeating Curie Metropolitan High School 53–49.[37][38] Both the semifinals and finals were broadcast on ESPN3.[39] 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.[40][41][42] 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.[43] Parker had 15 points in the March 17 championship game 50–48 victory over Proviso East High School,[44][45] resulting in a 33–1 junior year record for Simeon.[46] The state semifinals and the finals were broadcast live on ESPN3.[39] For the season, Parker averaged 19.5 points, 8.9 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 3.3 blocks and 1.4 steals per game[46][47][48] or 20.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 3.4 blocks and 1.5 steals per game,[49][50] 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.[46][47][49] 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.[51]

For his efforts during his junior year, Parker earned several accolades. The Chicago Sun-Times named him to the Class 4A All-State first team along with Okafor, Keith Carter, Darius Paul and Fred VanVleet.[52] He was also a first team (unanimous) All-State selection by the Associated Press along with VanVleet, Carter, Taylor, and Malcolm Hill.[53] The Chicago Tribune named him first team All-State along with Carter, Aaron Simpson, Taylor, and VanVleet.[54] He was named the 2012 Illinois boys' basketball Gatorade Player of the Year.[46] He became the first non-senior honoree in the 32-year history of Illinois Mr. Basketball, which is awarded by the Chicago Tribune in conjunction with the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association.[55] On April 12, he was announced as the winner of the national boys' basketball Gatorade Player of the Year, which was presented to him by ex-NBA player Alonzo Mourning who greeted him at his school in a special assembly.[49] Parker was the fourth junior to win the award (LeBron James, Greg Oden and Brandon Knight).[48][49][50][56] Parker finished second to Muhammad in ESPN HS's Mr. Basketball USA voting. They were the only two players to appear on every ballot.[57] However, Parker was selected as the ESPN HS National Junior of the Year and the MaxPreps.com National Junior of the Year.[8][58] He was selected as a first team ESPN HS boys' high school basketball All-American along with Kyle Anderson, Marcus Smart, Shabazz Muhammad and Nerlens Noel by ESPN HS.[59] He was also a first team All-USA selection by USA Today with the same four players.[60] SLAM Magazine selected him to its first team along with Anderson, Muhammad, Noel and Isaiah Austin.[61]

Parker entered the summer of 2012 as the consensus number one player in the country until he was sidelined with a foot injury, which caused him to miss some games during the 2012 FIBA Under-17 World Championship.[62] Parker was one of ten USA Today preseason All-USA selections (along with Aaron Gordon, Andrew Harrison, Aaron Harrison, Kasey Hill, Tyus Jones, Okafor, Julius Randle, Noah Vonleh, Andrew Wiggins).[63] Simeon was the number one ranked team in the MaxPreps.com national preseason poll.[64] On December 20, 2012 he chose to play for Duke University.[65][66][67]

Over the course of his senior season, Parker and Simeon played in six showcase games that required travel outside of the region.[68] Three of the showcase games were broadcast nationally on one of the ESPN networks.[69] 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.[70] On February 26, the Associated Press Illinois Class 4A basketball rankings showed Whitney Young at number 1 and Simeon at number 2 as the state playoffs began.[71][72] The state's number 1 and number 2 teams met on March 8 in the sectional finals (statewide round of 16), with both the Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune predicting three-time state defending champion Simeon would defeat the reigning city champion.[73][74] Simeon defeated Young 69–51 as Parker scored 29 points and had 13 rebounds.[75]

Parker led Simeon to its fourth consecutive IHSA class 4A state championship with a 58–40 victory over Stevenson High School, matching Manual High School's IHSA record of four consecutive IHSA basketball championships.[76][77][78] In the process, Parker, who scored 20 points and had 8 rebounds, became the second player (Sergio McClain) in IHSA history to start for four consecutive state basketball champions.[76][77][78] Simeon finished with a 30–3 record.[76][77] According to the Chicago Sun-Times's Joe Henricksen, we did not see a healthy Parker until the IHSA playoffs where he averaged 21.7 points and 10.4 rebounds over the course of 7 games.[79] Parker finished his senior season with averages of 18.4 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.1 blocks and 1.9 steals, while maintaining a 3.71 grade point average.[80]

Several more accolades followed his senior year performance. USA Basketball selected Parker as a member of the 2013 USA Junior National Select Team for the April 20, 2013 Nike Hoop Summit at the Rose Garden.[81] On February 12, Parker was recognized as a 2013 All-Public League first team selection by the Chicago Sun-Times along with Nunn, Okafor, Alexander and Garrett.[82] That same day, Parker was selected along with future Duke teammate Jones to play in the April 13 Jordan Brand Classic at the Barclays Center.[83][84] Rosters for the April 3 McDonald's All-American Game at the United Center, which included Parker,[85] were announced February 14 on ESPNU.[86] Ironically, the only other McDonald's All-American from the state of Illinois was a former teammate. On March 18, Parker earned the Morgan Wootten Male Player of the Year (Also known as the McDonald's players of the year).[87] The award recognizes "the McDonald's All-American who demonstrates outstanding character, exhibits leadership and exemplifies the values of being a student-athlete in the classroom and the community".[88] He won the award over five other finalists: Aaron Gordon, Aaron Harrison, Andrew Harrison, Dakari Johnson and Wiggins.[88] On March 21, Parker was named the Gatorade Illinois Boys Basketball Player of the Year, which joined him with Rose as a two-time winner and made him eligible to repeat as Gatorade's National Player of the Year.[80] On March 25, Parker repeated as Illinois Mr. Basketball, beating Okafor by a 315–277 point margin, including a 43–40 first place vote margin.[89][90] However, on March 28, he was unable to defend his Gatorade Player of the Year title, which went to Wiggins who averaged 23.4 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.6 blocks and 2.5 assists for the year.[91] On April 9, he earned another National Player of the Year recognition, this time by MaxPreps.com.[92] He was a MaxPrep first team All-American with Gordon, Wiggins, Nigel Williams-Goss and Stanley Johnson.[93] On April 17, he was a first team All-USA selection by USA Today along with Wiggins, Aaron Harrison, Randle and Okafor.[94] On May 18, he was named a 2013 Parade All-American.[95] Following the demise of ESPN HS, HighSchoolHardwood.com undertook several honoraria selections. Parker was a HighSchoolHardwood.com First Team All-American selection along with Wiggins, Okafor, Aaron Gordon and Williams-Goss.[96]

During the McDonald's All-star game played at the United Center in his hometown, Parker scored 10 points on 4-for-13 shooting and added 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, contributing to a 110–99 West victory.[97][98] At the April 13 Jordan Brand Classic played at the Barclays Center, Parker was co-MVP along with Randle.[99] He had 16 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists to help lead the West team to a 102–98 victory.[100] At the April 20 Nike Hoops Summit held in Portland, Oregon, Parker had a team high 22 points and 7 rebounds as the U.S Junior National Select Team was defeated 112–98 by the World Select team.[101][102][103]

Parker concluded his high school career as the fourth rated player in the class of 2013 according to Rivals, behind Wiggins, Randle and Aaron Gordon.[104]

During the summer prior to matriculating at Duke, Parker participated in the Nike sponsored Chi-League, a 9-weekend 10-team Chicago summer pro-am league,[105] During this time, Parker was projected by the press as a true freshman starter for Duke,[106] and he was assigned to wear number 1, a number only previously worn at Duke by Kyrie Irving.[107] Preseason honors includes preseason All-American first team listings by Sporting News and USA Today,[108][109] and being named the preseason ACC Rookie of the Year.[110] Parker was also one of nine freshmen named to the 50-man Wooden Award preseason watchlist.[111]

Parker debuted for Duke on November 8 with 22 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block against Davidson—becoming 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, on November 11 Parker earned his first ACC Rookie of the Week recognition.[112][113][114] 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.[115] 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.[116] On January 18, Parker scored 23 against NC State, tying him with Gene Banks for most 20-point games by a Duke freshman.[117] 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.[118] On March 8, in the second Carolina–Duke rivalry game of the season, Parker had a career high 30 points.[119]

In postseason play, Parker yielded a 20-point performance in the semifinals of the 2014 ACC Men's Basketball Tournament against NC State on March 15, which marked his 17th such effort and moved him into sole possession of second place on the ACC freshman list, ahead of Marbury.[120] In the March 16 championship game against Virginia, Parker posted his 18th 20-point game.[121]

Parker has received much recognition for his freshman year performance. He was unanimously selected to both the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association (ACSMA) All-ACC first team and the Coaches All-ACC Freshman Team.[122][123] He was also selected to the Coaches All-ACC Basketball first team with the most points.[124] Parker was voted the ACC Freshman of the Year receiving 72 of 77 votes and placed second for the ACC Player of the Year award, trailing Warren 48–25.[125] Parker was a 2014 NCAA Men's Basketball All-American first-team selection by The Sporting News, USBWA, and USA Today.[126][127][128][129] Parker was USBWA National Freshman of the Year and named to the 2013 Freshman All-American.[130]

International play

In October 2010, Parker was among the 18 players who participated in the 2011-12 USA Developmental National Team mini-camp giving him an automatic invitation to the June 10–18, 2011 tryouts for FIBA U16 competition at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado.[131] Parker was one of four Chicago products to emerge from the 27-man tryouts as part of the 12-man team.[132] He was MVP of the 2011 FIBA Americas U16 Championship, where Team USA won a gold medal.[5] This qualified the United States for the 2012 FIBA U17 World Championship.[5] The team, which was coached by Don Showalter of Mid-Prairie High School, scored over 100 points in each outing.[133] Parker set the USA U16 single-game scoring record of 27 points.[5] In December 2011, he was named USA Basketball's Male Athlete of the Year based on his FIBA Americas performance, which made him the youngest winner ever.[134][135][136] While on the stage to accept the award from Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, he claims that he told the mayor "I hope they don't boo me."[137]

He was selected for the USA team that competed in the 2012 FIBA Under-17 World Championship in Kaunas, Lithuania from June 29 – July 8, 2012 along with Simeon teammate Nunn and Whitney Young rival Okafor.[138] The team won the gold medal, although Parker missed some games, including the semifinal, with an ankle injury.[139][140]

Playing style and personality

Parker has been frequently compared to Derrick Rose According to Chicago Sun-Times writer Michael O'Brien, as of November 2011, 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."[141] Rose's game against the Oak Hill team with Brandon Jennings, Nolan Smith and Alex Legion on ESPN is described as Rose' national introduction.[142] Although there are natural comparisons to Rose, his game is most often compared to Grant Hill and Paul Pierce.[2][18][143] Dime Magazine describes him as "Grant Hill with a jump shot".[144] 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."[47]

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.[145] In addition, Parker is considered to have a much less developed physique than James at the same stage of development.[146] 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.[147] 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.[148]

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.[78] 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.[78] 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.[77] As noted above, Rose-era Simeon teams only won 2 championships in the 2-class era.[141] Adding Parker's 55-11 start[5] to a 33–1 junior year[46] and a 30–3 senior season[76][77] gives him a 118–15 legacy compared to Rose's 120–12.[141]

Personal

Parents, Sonny and Lola, listen as Jabari makes his verbal commitment to Duke basketball on December 20, 2012.

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.[149] 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][137] 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,[150] starting for the team in the 1995 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament.[151] 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][137] 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.[152] 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.[49] 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]
