From admitting that he hasn’t tried Memphis barbecue to sharing his Chipotle order, there were many highs and lows of Chandler Parsons’ live question and answer session on Twitter Monday evening.

Chandler Parsons took to Twitter today to quickly answer some fan’s questions. Here’s my breakdown of a few of his top answers:

To start, Parsons stirred some sports debate with tweets regarding…

  • Messi versus Ronaldo:
  • …and then he called Kobe the G.O.A.T:

(Really Chandler? No one likes a suck up)

  • He said making the All-Star Game is in his plans for this season (!!!):
  • He admits that misses the “Sunshine State,” where he attended the University of Florida:
  • Regarding playing Memphis teammates in ping-pong:

(Chandler, if you are going to brag about your ping-pong skills, own it when asked who you can beat!)

  • When asked about him returning to Dallas this year:

(Chandler, why must you try and be so likable! Stop it)

(No really, stop it. His return to Dallas is on November 18)

  • However, Chandler redeemed himself with some relatable answers:

(HA! Who hasn’t showed up to a concert a week early? Especially with online tickets/calendars/reminders/emails, that all get so confusing!)

(Adele is amazing though, so I can’t fault him here)

(I’m not big on the sauce, but I respect paying for double meat and guacamole. Good work, Chandler)

  • HOWEVER, Chandler said one thing that he had no business saying:

(YOU’RE TELLING ME THAT YOU ARE NOW LIVING IN MEMPHIS AND HAVEN’T TRIED ANY OF THEIR BARBECUE? What’s next Chandler? Are you going to tell us that you have never heard of Elvis or Dolly Parton!?)

  • Maybe someone can make the man some BBQ when he finds his new camping spot in Tennessee.

That horrendous offense aside, Chandler’s Q&A was a pretty decent success. Although it was rather short, only lasting about 18 minutes, it was cool to see Chandler show some excitement about the city (even if he’s already planning where to go next).

  • But hey, he already has a “homie” in Wayne Selden Jr.
