Smush Parker responds to Kobe Bryant

[Mr. I'm So Rad]

If a guy who was a million times better than you told you that you suck (and it was true), would you have nice things to say about him? People are taking too much from this.

[Kblaze8855]

told me out his own mouth that I couldn't talk to him. That my accolades under my belt weren't deserving enough for me to talk to him.

If he had that big a problem with it he should have done something then and there. Not bring it up in the media years later. Bill cartwright told Jordan he would break his legs when he disrespected him.

When did he bring up Smush before?

[KyrieTheFuture]

So Smush is a ***** and Kobe is a ****. 2 things I knew already.

And that was his own doing! He thought he could do it alone and found out otherwise and he tries to blame it on his former teammates and the front office. Typical Kobe!

Here's one from 2011:

“I don’t need to do that. If I think a guy’s a bum, he’s a fvcking bum. Smush (Parker) was here, I told you he was a bum. From Day 1 I told you he was a bum.”

pretty sure he brought him up at his UCSB camp a couple years ago too. or maybe that was kwame...but he certainly doesn't shy away from bringing it up

From 2009, talking about Deron's situation of being elite and not surrounded by enough talent, and if it was similar to his situation before:

"It's not even close. They don't even have Smush Parker on (that) team. It's not even close."

[SpecialQue]

Another 2011, when discussing Melo:

http://isaiahpaviacruz.blogspot.com/...oys-smush.html

Kobe: Then Denver will make the right decisions, bring in the right personnel and he’ll stick around. It’s not rocket science. …. I know for me, it’s all about winning. In my situation, we weren’t spending the money to get players – they had me playing around with Smush Parker. Until they decided they wanted to make the necessary sacrifices financially to get a team that’s competitive, I didn’t want to be (with the Lakers). It’s as simple as that.

In other words Kobe was playing all-time great level basketball and should have been contending for trophies but was surrounded by scrubs like Mihm, Brown, Walton and Smush Parker.

If it wasn't for smush parker, Kobe could have had 7 rings by now and 2 more MVPs.

Stop typing.

[tmacattack33]

I don't really know what the F Kobe is talking about. He wasn't the runner up, or even second runner up, to Nash for MVP in 2006.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/...ards_2006.html

1. Nash: 924
2. Lebron: 688
3. Dirk: 544
4. Kobe: 483
5. Billups: 430

...he was barely ahead of Chauncey Billups. LOL.

[SpecialQue]

I'm not going to post any more links, but the point is that Kobe's consistently brought up Smush as a reference for his horrendous supporting cast. It's a dick move and one that he should be above.

[Mach_3]

Damn Kobe hates Smush, i wonder what happened between the two. Smush probably sonned him in practice or something for Kobe to keep bringing him up like that
