11月2日，《Almost Cancelled》播客节目的一段访谈影片在网络热传，前NBA球员钱德勒‧帕森斯谈到曾代言中国运动品牌安踏（ANTA），代言费比打球的酬劳还多，但穿着球鞋的体验“简直糟透了”。
帕森斯（Chandler Parsons）在节目中谈到，他的第一份重要的球鞋合约，比他在NBA新秀赛季的薪水还要高。“我记得我新秀赛季的时候，我的球鞋代言费比火箭队的薪水还高。那是一个叫做安踏的中国品牌。”
主持人问他：“在NBA赛场上穿着中国鞋是什么感觉？”
帕森斯直言：“糟糕透了。太可怕了。我发誓那是我膝盖受伤的部分原因，它们太差劲了。”
Chandler Parsons says a Chinese shoe brand paid more than his rookie NBA salary, but he believes its shoes contributed to his knee problems and recalls playing in Jordans with the logo taped over Parsons: “I remember as a rookie I was making more money on my shoe deal than I was by the Rockets, it’s a Chinese brand called Anta.” Host: “What was that like, walking with Chinese shoes on the NBA court?” Parsons: “Awful. It was terrible. I swear that’s part of the reason why I f*cked up my knees. They were so bad that I would literally wear Jordans, and because they would let me, I was supposed to make my own shoe and go to China to do this whole thing.” “Klay Thompson’s still with them, Look at his injuries.” “I would literally put a duct tape over the Jumpman logo and I would wear Jordans in the NBA games, just because they were paying me so much money.” “The NBA is so big in China, and I was on Houston when Yao Ming and Jeremy Lin were there. So it was a huge market there for Houston Rockets players, and I had a great relationship with them. But,their products stinks…” “A lot of people do it too. A lot of people do it and sign it. But looking back on it, I’d rather take less bread and go with, a Nike.”

他说，安踏品牌方允许他在NBA比赛期间穿着乔丹鞋，但要用胶带把乔丹鞋上的Jumpman标志遮住。
帕森斯表示，“中国对NBA的热情太高了，我在休斯顿时，姚明和林书豪都在那儿。所以对火箭队球员来说，那是个巨大的市场，我和他们关系很好。但是，他们的产品太烂了⋯⋯”
他说，如果可以重来，他会做出不同的决定，“我宁愿少拿点钱，选择耐克。”
这段影片在网络上传开后，留言区有人质疑，也有人觉得他说得有道理。
据媒体此前披露，2013年12月，帕森斯与安踏达成长期球鞋代言协议，这是一份为期5年总价值500万美元的合约。帕森斯当时只是NBA一名年轻新秀球员，并非联盟超级巨星，这样的合约显然对其极具吸引力。
