When NBA players get together and start reminiscing, you know the conversation is going to take a hilarious turn sooner or later, and that’s exactly what happened on the Run It Back show. Chandler Parsons, Lou Williams, and DeMarcus Cousins joined host Michelle Beadle for a lighthearted segment that asked one simple question: Which former teammate would you let date your sister?
The answers ranged from wholesome to outrageous, with plenty of laughter in between.
Chandler Parsons went first, and his response was as diplomatic as it was genuine.
“It’s gotta be Mike Conley. He’s the nicest guy ever. It’s gotta be Mike Conley. He has my blessing but I don’t have a sister.”
It was classic Parsons: smooth, respectful, and delivered with the kind of confidence that made him one of the more charismatic players of his era. Parsons’ pick made perfect sense to anyone familiar with Mike Conley’s reputation around the league. Conley has long been considered one of the classiest, most professional players in basketball. Teammates, coaches, and even opponents often describe him as “the nicest guy in the NBA,” so Parsons’ choice wasn’t just funny, it was accurate.
Then came Lou Williams, who took a slightly more guarded approach.
“My sister’s gonna have to live her life without love… You know what, Kevin Ollie — he was like a big brother to me. Kept me in chapel, kept me in the church.”
It was a very Lou Will answer, part joke, part genuine reflection. Kevin Ollie, a well-respected veteran known for his mentorship and leadership, clearly made a lasting impression on Williams during their time together. Lou’s comment showed the respect he had for Ollie’s influence during his early years in the league.
But the biggest laugh of the night came from DeMarcus Cousins. When asked the same question, Cousins didn’t hold back.
“Man, I got some shitty-ass teammates… Wilt Chamberlain… James Harden.”
The room erupted. Beadle nearly fell out of her chair. Cousins wasn’t serious, of course, but the mere mention of Wilt, a man rumored to have dated thousands, was comedic gold. Cousins has always been known for his unfiltered honesty, and this was Boogie at his best, a mix of humor, bluntness, and chaos.
Michelle Beadle decided to close the round with a darkly funny twist.
“I hate my sister. So if there’s a murderer in the league, put her on that.”
After that, the group tackled the follow-up question — which teammate would you never let date your sister?
Parsons didn’t hesitate: “Richard Jefferson. Miss you, buddy.”
Lou Williams refused to single anyone out, joking, “Even the great guys — you just spend too much time with them. At some point, they’re gonna let you down.”
Cousins gave another classic Boogie line: “I wouldn’t advise my sister to date any guy. Go find you a librarian.”

The segment was pure entertainment, a blend of locker room humor, brotherly banter, and a few genuine compliments sprinkled in. Parsons played the gentleman, Lou the comedian, Cousins the wildcard, and Beadle the chaos agent.
In the end, the show reminded everyone why these players remain so likable long after their playing days: they bring honesty, humor, and just enough mischief to make any conversation unforgettable.
