Smush Parker on Kobe Bryant Calling Him His Worst Teammate Ever, Kobe Blocking Vlad (Part 4)

[@uvolhdninasiw]

Kinda respect Smush for doing this - not switching up because he is dead.

[@BobbyJOnline]

EXACTLY!!!!!!

[@CensorTube84]

Ain’t nothing to respect about a man being a soft bish..making money off someone who’s dead. Especially when you’re complaining about Kobe being a bad teammate. Y’all some true weirdos…social media has given disrespectful cowards a voice they don’t deserve.

[@WORLDWIDESOCAL9]

he'd be a bigger scrub if he switched up

[@frost-lx9by]

How is that suppose to be respected tho lol

[@Boogiesince]

And he does it without being disrespectful.

[@Leo-gh7nz]

Kobe played with some bad teammates, but he seems to have a disproportionate amount of hate for Smush. My only explanation for this as a fan that watched him and the Lakers during those years is that those were the years Kobe was most frustrated in his career. He was at his absolute prime and was desperate to win rings without Shaq, but he felt like the Lakers were not giving him the teammates he needed to win. He even asked to be traded during those times. I think he saw and continued to see Smush as like the main example of how the Lakers as an org weren't serious about winning during that time. He felt like they should be trying to give him a PG like Steve Nash or something, but instead they give him Smush Parker. So his hate is not really personal as much as he sees Smush as like a symbol and reminder of a frustrating time in his playing career. It's quite unfair.

[@callmelegendaryTV]

Nah, I watched those games. Smush was trash. He had no heart and would choke when the pressure was on.

[@StokleyCharmichael]

Naw Kobe strived to be like Jordan in every way. He even began to emulate a lot of Jordan's mannerisms, a Kobe as a person like Jordan was a world class grade "A" asshole, and in the end he got exactly what he deserved. In his death the disrespect him and his family received from the LA County Sheriff's Department, was Karma and much well deserved!!! What exactly was Steve Nash going to add to the Lakers equation??? I'll tell you, exactly what he did when he finally arrived in LA. Smush Parker is definitely not the worst teammate that Kobe Bryant has ever played with. The Lakers got more out of Smush Parker than they did out of Steve Nash!! Kobe Bryant the basketball player is phenomenal. Kobe Bryant the person is a horrible monster!! The world is definitely a better place without Kobe Bryant the person!!!☹️👎🏿

Smush seems like an honest dude

[@samuelfortier5069]

I completely understand what smush is saying bro real talk Kobe acted like he was better than everyone he needed to get humbled cause you can’t disrespect teammates like that and not expect someone to say something or do something lol Kobe is top 5 ever but his attitude just wasn’t it difference between Kobe and bron is that bron actually loves his teammates and gets them all together as a team where Kobe would be all by himself and didn’t care straight facts!!! Shoutout smush real one

[@time4sumaksion203]

This man a scrub at basketball but I guess that’s Kobe fault

[@goodfella8143]

no one should speak on the dead and Smush just kept it real

I’m glad Kobe blocked Vlad

“Hurt is feelings” 🤣🤣🤣 ok bro

[@jaye5926]

every1 in the comments saying smush dont have 2 switch up how he feels just because kobe passed away...thats cool...he shouldnt switch up...but he needs 2 be ready 4 what comes with him talkin' because he could have easily just said its all documented how me & kobe relationship is but out of respect 4 him not being here anymore I wont speak on kobe because he is not here 2 defend himself

[@slb6977]

Was anyone out here dying for the new Smush Parker interview? Nobody? Hmm..Then why else would he pick this individual to interview on such a big platform? 🤔

[@Tj-ne6hz]

What was his career before and after the lakers ?

[@da11king]

Great interview... I wonder if Smush had to take blood pressure pills 💊 during that time damn lol

[@ProofThatAstrologyIsReal]

Smush saved the ball to Kobe in the ironic playoff game against the suns

[@tomswill9189]

Much respect Smush. Much respect

[@Bucketsthecake]

What I dislike is how people find merit in telling the same story on 5 different platforms especially considering Kobe was a different person after he retired . Kobe is being celebrated this month with the statues in front of Crypto and this is when he would like to tell this story or when it’s being published I should say 🗣TRASH

[@judahmourneth3211]

Get out your kobetard feelings.

Who you were for 20 Season and the 3 years after retirement doesn’t just wash it away. TF?? 😂😂😂

[@Bucketsthecake]

@@BobbyJOnline matter of fact you probably never met Smush a day in your life I actually have and hooped with him he was a pure jerk himself so its karma so unless you know the whole story dont be so quick to TRY to be funny online!

[@ryedawize]

I think smush need to let it go like pippen but i don’t believe he lying and he going continue to stand on it. He has every right to

[@Goodguy1ful]

I agree with Kobe on this matter .. Smush seems like a decent guy and all but I've been a serious Lakers fan since the showtime era.. and Smush is definitely the worst Lakers starter that I can recall

[@ethanquenum4778]

You said it yourself. You're a fan, which means you're not in your right mind since you're clearly bias lmao.

[@Goodguy1ful]

@@ethanquenum4778 a Person can be a fan while also being unbiased ...as I am both of thjose thigs -- hence the facts I laid on ion this thread .

[@ethanquenum4778]

@@Goodguy1ful No sir, the vocable "fan" is short for "fanatic" which comes from the latin "fanum" etymologically. The latter refers to someone's behavior "that might result from possession by a god or demon". You can't be a complete unbiased fan. That's an oxymoron.

[@alexdelgado3986]

Kobe said he didn’t like people who didn’t put in the work . Soooooo that’s on you

[@brantonsims4636]

This is getting sad at this point. Smush has the right to feel how he wants. But taking shots at Kobe NOW is crazy. Where were the interviews when he was still alive? And maybe I’m wrong, but other than Smush, I haven’t seen anything but teammates talking about how much they loved playing with Kobe and how playing with Kobe made them better. So to now try to attack his character is foul. And Vlad being Vlad felt like somebody slighted him so he’s going to play right into it. Vlad always says he did his research so when is he planning to bring up what all his other teammates say about him?

[@RicoSoprano_]

Yeah you are wrong and you think just like a casual sheep of the NBA. Even if everyone likes Kobe that doesn’t change his relationship with Smush. This isn’t anything new if you followed the Lakers back then you would know Smush and Kobe never got along. Kobe didn’t get this much love when he was alive. When people die all of a sudden everyone loves them and nobody can talk bad about them which is bs. I’m pretty sure it’s other players who didn’t like Kobe but they would never admit to it now he’s gone. Nobody in this world is a perfect human being neither was Kobe

[@doctorx1924]

Kobe was always a shit teammate most people are just too scared to say anything bad about him now that he's dead. They don't want to deal with the backlash from his fans and media. Kwame Brown said in a recent interview with Ticket that Kobe was a shit teammate. They are also plenty of examples of Kobe being a rotten teammate in the book 3 ring circus which came out right around his passing.

[@brantonsims4636]

@@RicoSoprano_ I guess you missed the part where I said Smush has the right to feel how he feels….Ive been watching the Lakers play since ‘99 so im far from casual. And if what you say is true, Kobe played 20 seasons. Find me all the these imaginary teammates that hated Kobe. I never said he was perfect. My point is Smush took it personal and internalized it. He’s held on to it all these years, so why wait until now to start saying something about it. And if Kobe could sit down with Shaq and make things right, you telling me he couldn’t have done that with Smush??

[@brantonsims4636]

@@doctorx1924 Kwame Brown also talked about how playing with Kobe pushed him so that’s a bad example. And you’re assuming that “all these players are scared to say anything,” so that means you prefer to just ignore all the teammates who talk good about him?? So they’re lying about that too right? Nobody is saying Kobe was perfect. But the man wasn’t evil either bruh.

[@doctorx1924]

@@brantonsims4636 Kwame still said he was a rotten teammate. You are just deflecting. Yes, I'm assuming they are scared to say the truth because most people are not built to handle a large backlash by the media and millions of crazy fans. Kobe was a sociopath. They are plenty examples in books such as 3 ring circus and Showboat.
