Posts Tagged ‘Smush Parker’

Hilarious snippet from OC Register from an article about Shannon Brown:

Bryant loves Fisher and likes Farmar, and Bryant calls Brown “a much, much better player than anybody ever expected” and “an added bonus.” It wasn’t just coincidence that after answering a stream of questions about Brown on Monday, Bryant brought up someone with whom he used to share the Lakers’ backcourt.

Asked to compare how tough it is now for Utah guard Deron Williams and how tough it was for Bryant two years ago in trying to carry the Lakers with an inadequate supporting cast, Bryant scoffed.

“It’s not even close,” Bryant said. “They don’t even have Smush Parker on their team.”

Parker took a shot at Bryant last summer, saying in an interview: “The problems with that team start with him and end with him.” That didn’t, however, prevent Parker from plummeting from alongside Bryant into total obscurity.

Brown is going the other way – fast.

His swim is the upstream one, yet he’s not headed anywhere he hasn’t been before.

Maybe nobodies (is that really a word?) should keep their mouths shut when talking about arguably the best player in the league right now. Smush, we have guys on the bench that are better than you ever could hope to be. Enjoy your early retirement.

A friend found this on Larry Brown Sports and sent it to me:

Are you serious Smush? And where are you even playing this year? You probably shouldn’t be talking when you were one of the major reasons that the Lakers had problems. Notice that they got a LOT better when you were gone and they got Derek Fisher back?

You were/are a lazy bastard that played defense only when he felt like it. Actually, you didn’t really play much offense either. And I don’t know if the Lakers’ problems begin and end with Kobe. Once again, the Lakers are playing and have been playing much better since you fell off the map.

Here’s the transcript that Larry Brown Sports had. Tough to understand a guy the mumbles so damn much.

“Playing for the Lakers was an overrated experience. Phil Jackson was great. I don’t care what the media says, they said I had a problem with Phil Jackson. The problem was never with Phil Jackson — it was with your boy, 24 — formerly known as KB. The problem with that team starts with him and ends with him. The reason why I say overrated is because everyone thinks playing with Kobe Bryant was the best thing since sliced bread but it’s not. Out to Miami with the Big Fella, Shaq Diesel, one of the greatest guys I’ve had a chance to play with and meet. Really down to Earth, really cool off the court.”

Smush, you don’t even understand how happy the Laker nation was when we found out that you were leaving. Good riddance, you poor excuse for lockerroom cancer.
