The old adage “mom knows best” rarely fails those who take the advice to heart.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Chandler Parsons shared, via Instagram, some great advice that he received from his…….mother?!?!!?

Definitely some solid advice from momma Parsons.

Unfortunately for Parsons, and the Grizzlies, things didn’t quite work out for the best against Harden and the Rockets.

Houston cruised against the Grizzlies, winning 119-95.

Harden scored 29 points. He also got some of those calls that Parson’s mom mentioned, as he went to the free throw line 12 times (he converted on 11 of those attempts).

Parsons, for what it’s worth, did his part for Memphis. He doubled his season average in points (scoring 12), and he also had three steals.

(Mrs. Parson’s will be happy to know that her son only had two personal fouls).

Regardless of the outcome of the game, it’s pretty cool to see the support that Parson’s receives from his mom.

He’s definitely not unique, the majority of athletes obviously receive the same kind of support. It just happens to be rare that we get to see such a personal side of athletes.

Maybe Parsons and the Grizzlies will have better luck on Wednesday night against the Toronto Raptors.
