About P.D. Parr

(Fantasy Bio)

After leading Cuyahoga Falls High School to three state championships, P.D. Parr was recognized by the Ohio Athletic Association for recording the first ever quintuple-double season average: 31ppg-11apg-10.7rpg-12bpg-10.01spg.

Not interested in attending college, Parr chose to travel overseas to Japan, where he played for the Oita Heat Devils, at one point eclipsing Wilt Chamberlain’s record 50.4 average and leading Oita to a league championship. Citing the need for a challenge, Parr left the team to play for the Siberia Mineshafters after receiving a three-year contract that paid him three oil wells and a meat hook. Currently he is playing left-handed, and although his statistics have suffered, he feels he is making progress, and hopes to someday be cryogenically frozen in a spaceship, so he can present basketball to an alien race on another planet.  Since every Mineshafter game is played outdoors at 11p.m. at night, he feels the sub-human temperature will condition his skin for his chilly trip through space.

The highlight of P.D. Parr’s basketball career was leading a sixth grade Parks and Recreation team to a 5-5 record. The eleven year old Parr had arrived late to the meeting where teams were selected, and was forced to join up with players who were not selected by anyone. Parr declared himself captain, and named the team ‘The Unknowns’, their team colors brown and white, their logo a painted on question mark. (?) Parr would continue to refine his skills at Oak Park in Cuyahoga Falls and Hyde Park in Akron and attended Bolich Middle School.

Despite his early success, Parr did not make the cut for his 7th, 8th, and 9th grade school teams. In the 10th grade, Parr miraculously made his  Junior Varsity team at Cuyahoga Falls High School, only to ride the bench the entire year, although he did lead the team in 3-point percentage (1-2…50%).

Realizing his epic suckiness, Parr decided to play tennis, a sport he did not love but enjoyed because it was easy. He received a college scholarship to play tennis at Catawba College, but continued to play in pick-up basketball games, praying he’d receive a Dennis Rodman-like growth spurt, but instead settled for being a 5’11’’ semi-pro tennis player.

Parr would later quit his job as a tennis teaching professional  after getting his Master’s degree in Writing Popular Fiction. He traveled to Japan and met the love of his life, got married, and later found a job as an ESL Lecturer in the state of Washington. During all his travels, Parr has followed his childhood-team Cleveland Cavaliers with an obsession bordering on insanity.
