Here's a funny moment from Jabari Parker's rookie season: when he tries to shake the ref's hand and the ref ignores him, Parker just...shakes hands with himself.

Milwaukee has struggled for some time now, but with Parker, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Larry Sanders and other talents, Milwaukee is climbing up the NBA ladder. There's a long way to go, but progress is showing.

As for Parker, he's averaging 11.7 ppg and about six boards and playing about 30 minutes a night.
