Chandler Parsons says DeAndre Jordan is the 'best center in the NBA'

No one gets his ego stroked like DeAndre Jordan.

Jordan just spent two years hearing from Doc Rivers that he could be the next Bill Russell. Then, Mark Cuban told the free agent he could be a 20/20 center playing in Dallas before the First-Team All-Defense member eventually agreed to a four-year, $80 million deal to leave the Clippers for the Mavericks.

Now, Chandler Parsons, who recruited him to Dallas, is getting in on the D.J. exaggeration game. 

From ESPN's Tim McMahon:

That's some high praise for a guy who doesn't do much with the ball and, though he's clearly a very good defender, might be overrated in some of the defensive aspects of his game.

Oh well. As long as the Mavs are happy, why not say those things about the newest member of the team?
