His competitive nature may be overruling his sense of self preservation. Also, his youth makes him feel invincible. He probably doesn't consider longevity, when he's playing.
He reminds me of Emmitt Smith when he was a young player. He kept notes on his locker to remind himself of his goals. I think Parsons is a lot like that. He's very goal oriented. I think his coaches respect his work ethic and avoid doing anything to discourage it in any way. It's what makes him tick in a very special and unusual way. Take that away and he might well be forced to settle for being someone less than what he is. Special people just need special consideration. Jimmy Johnson was a coach who recognized that and he often spoke of it.
