"I almost won an MVP with Smush Parker and Kwame Brown on my team," Bryant said before Wednesday's 93-75 exhibition loss to Portland. "I was shooting 45 times a game. What was I supposed to do? Pass it to Chris Mihm or Kwame Brown?"

Bryant was referring to 2005-06 when the Lakers' roster included Brian Cook, Stanislav Medvedenko, Devean George and Parker, Mihm and Brown.

Bryant continued, taking aim at his favorite whipping boy, Parker, calling him "the worst. He shouldn't have been in the NBA but we were too cheap to pay for a point guard. So we let him walk on."


LOL pretty harsh

[Clipper Nation]

Typical Food Stamps, all about himself, never making his teammates better....

LeBron dragged Larry Hughes and Z to the Finals, Iverson made Eric Snow look like a solid second option, CP3 made Randy Foye look like Ray Allen.... meanwhile, the minute Food Stamps didn't have an all-star cast (which was entirely his own doing), he bitched and moaned and still whines about it to this day tbh....

[The Gemini Method]

They've been trading back-and-forth barbs for some time now. Can't say that it is surprising coming from whom it is--but Parker was a terrible PG...those were the dark days

[Venti Quattro]

Smush Parker is the absolute worst.

[Clipper Nation]

Smush DID suck, but one of the biggest responsibilities of the #1 option is to make sucky players look less sucky, tbh.... that's what separates the greats from the fakes, tbh.....

[Venti Quattro]

Kobe made Smush look like an NBA player, and that goes the same for Kwame and Luke.

I don't really hate Mihm because he was saddled with injuries. Feel bad for the guy. He could've been of some use in 2008.

[DisAsTerBot]

They've been trading back-and-forth barbs for some time now.

[The Gemini Method]

Hey, he got them to the playoffs with Smush...may not be the Finals, but with that excuse of a PG it was pretty noble when the dude's first name is Smush. The fact that none of those aforementioned teams won the championship doesn't mean anything. There is no moral victories--they all fell short.

[Venti Quattro]

yeah I didn't realize that until after I read the article

The barbs started with this, imo

if that roster was on any of ur guys teams.. ud be 0-82

[Venti Quattro]

Kobe shot just over 20 attempts/gm during that single year when Phil was on a 1-year hiatus. The only year when he chucked to his heart's content was when he averaged over 27 attempts/gm in 2005-2006, when Phil Jackson gave him the green light. Looking at that roster, only Odom was decent enough, and he really didn't figure out his role until Pau and Fisher came.

Kobe is a straight soldier:

Kobe, To Pau Gasol: “I Don’t Give A Shit, Pass The Fucking Ball” (Video)

Near the end of last night’s 104-101 Lakers win over the Warriors, Kobe Bryant could be seen giving some inspiring advice to one of his soldiers. That advice? Give me the fucking ball.


Pau Gasol found himself on the receiving end of that gem, as he failed to get the ball into Bryant’s hands before the Warriors intentionally fouled him in the waning moments of the win. Kobe, ever the competitor, wanted the ball in his hands as the decisive free throws were taken. Pau’s reaction to said gem is classic, and the whole episode further illustrates how Kobe has become, for better or worse, the most demanding teammate in pro sports.

you numnuts make this so easy for me....to answer your question yes...and now you see why he had to be selfish...you think Timmy ever had a teammate that asked the ball not be passed to him....:lol



“I’m surrounded by these players, Detroit players, and Kwame is under the basket, all by himself. Literally, like all by himself. So I pass him the ball, he bobbled it and it goes out of bounds. “So we go back to the timeout and I’m [upset], right? He goes, ‘I was wide open.’ ‘Yeah, I know.’ This is how I’m talking to him, like, during the game. I said, ‘You’re going to be open again, Kwame, because Rasheed is just totally ignoring you.’ He said, ‘Well, if I’m open don’t throw it to me.’ I was like, ‘Huh?’ He said, ‘Don’t throw it to me.’ I said, ‘Why not?’ He said, well, ‘I’m nervous. If I catch it and they foul me, I won’t make the free throws.’ I said, ‘Hell no!’

So he's not good enough to defend them or there just wasn't a good chance to do that, what's the big deal?

[Medvedenko]

I hear that Medvedenko dude was lights out on baseline jumpers....

Oh, the fact that we're talking about Smush, Mihm, Kwame, Devean George et al is because of Kobe. What about most recently Trevor Ariza. Oh, remember Chucky Atkins...ugh.

Last season is further evidence that the real leader was derek fisher... Lakeshow would do good in re-hiring him while he's still available, tbh

[ginobili's bald spot]

Kobe has never said anything more true. Smush was my most hated Laker ever and it's not even close. Terrible attitude, cancer, garbage player and a piece of shit human being. I hate that son of a bitch. His college coach said the same thing before dude even played in the NBA. That guy is a fucking loser.

[Clipper Nation]

Looking at that roster, only Odom was decent enough, and he really didn't figure out his role until Pau and Fisher came.

FGAs does not = shot attempts though. He was shooting more than that. He was getting 10 FTAs a game too. 5 shots, or if we assume he gets himself an And1 every game, 4 1/2 more. So it was really 24 1/2 shots a game before he started chucking, and it was about 32/game during the chucking season, and about 28 a game the year after. Not "barely 20".

I'd have been fine with the amount of shots though if he was a bit more efficient. Dude just needs to stop jacking up those handful fo bad shots each game that he does. Takes 3-5 terrible shots every game and maybe makes 1. 2 if he's really lucky that day.

Kobe with no regard for Kwame life...:lol

Bryant wasn't finished. He couldn't understand how Brown could sign (http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/8163813/philadelaphia-76ers-sign-kwame-brown-2-year-6-million-deal) with the Philadelphia 76ers (http://www.latimes.com/topic/sports/basketball/philadelphia-76ers-ORSPT000210.topic) this off-season to a two-year, $6-million deal.



"I don't know how he convinced Philadelphia to cough up $7 million a year," said Bryant, "They want to lock us out, but they'll pay him $7 million."

[Danny.Zhu]

Parker: "Kobe told me out of 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." He also says Kobe didn't talk to most of his teammates.

This clown is bragging about trying to freeze out one of the best players of all time on the court! By that admission alone Parker proved Kobe was correct. Smush didn't belong in the NBA.

[Koolaid_Man]

ohh I forgot to add context....


“The reason I wasn’t a Laker after my second year is because I didn’t bow down to [Kobe]. I didn’t kiss his a–. I wasn’t kissing his feet. Quite frankly, towards the end of the second season, I stopped passing him the ball. I stopped giving him the ball. I started looking him off.”

It's pathetic to hear these excuses from Kobe as to why he only has 1MVP, since he played with scrubs only because of him to begin with.. Plus the laker took a loser pg only because they had no real choice and Kobe was not passing it to anybody anyway, so why even bother..

“Because I don’t play for your fucking approval. I play for my own love and enjoyment of the game. And to win. That’s what I play for. Most of the time, when guys feel the pressure, they’re worried about what people might say about them. I don’t have that fear, and it enables me to forget bad plays and to take shots and play my game.” (http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nba--kobe-bryant-embraces-moment--saves-lakers--season-with-game-3-win-over-thunder.html;_ylt=ArvFfqQsncZGqHeB97aceta8vLYF) - Kobe Bryant

[da_suns_fan]

Fun Fact: Smush was a teammate of Nash when he was on the Suns in 2005 for a short bit.

Can you even imagine Steve Nash calling out Smush Parker or Pat Burke or any of the other crappy teammates he had five-six years ago no matter how bad they were?

Kobe just continues to prove why hes the biggest douche in the league.

[ElNono]

Smush fires back...

"You can't knock the man's legacy, you can't knock what he's done in basketball. His work ethic is tremendous. There's not an ounce of hate in my blood whatsoever. The guy can play basketball — you've seen that throughout his career.
"What I don't like about him is the man that he is. His personality. How he treats people. I don't like that side of Kobe Bryant."

"Midway through the first season, I tried to at least have a conversation with Kobe Bryant — he is my teammate, he is a co-worker of mine, I see his face every day I go in to work — and I tried to talk with him about football. He tells me I can't talk to him. He tells me I need more accolades under my belt before I come talk to him. He was dead serious. [...]
"We're teammates, we talk basketball on the court. [Our talks were] about getting him the ball pretty much."
