The Regime Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 TRASH is clapping back at Kobe Bryant’s most recent dis of the former NBA player. Parker, whose currently playing overseas ::Dot. Dot. Dot:: told TMZ the only reason why Kobe is coming at him is because he once called Kobe “an overrated teammate.” But TRASH has more to add about his time spent with the Lakers: "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. Parker also said his stats prove he wasn’t “the worst” while in the NBA. “People lie, numbers don’t.” This just makes me laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I could actually see Kobe saying that but, not in a 100% serious way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastNiner Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 This just makes me laugh. It makes you laugh that Kobe is a little punk? "I almost won an MVP with TRASH 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." http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/kobe-bryant-calls-ex-teammate-TRASH-parker-worst-132154424--nba.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he did that multiple times, in fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted October 12, 2012 Owner Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Yes, I know that, but does Kobe have to respond like this about both Parker and Brown? He should be better than that.Probably not, but he gets asked about it far too many times, and he's probably sick of hearing the questions. Parker wasn't asked. Nobody even gives a damn about him anymore, really...and that's a big part of the reason why he said what he did, much like Shaq has done with Dwight Howard recently (and I believe he said something about the Celtics after he retired, also). If you watch Kobe in these interviews, whether it's post-game or during practice...he's just tired of it. And Kwame did mention the Lakers a while back, didn't say Kobe's name, but he did talk about how it was impossible to get a shot attempt (and he's talking about KB when he says that, since Bryant was averaging 35 PPG around that time). Kwame never had any room to talk. He had plenty of opportunities, but he could never catch the ball. Parker never made the right decisions. It would piss me off, also, if these guys were bad-mouthing me, a guy that is known as the second-greatest two-guard in league history (by most).

The Regime Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 The fact that a irrelevant scrub continuously takes jabs at a legend even when he has been out of the league for half a decade makes me laugh. No one gives a shit about what he has to say about Kobe, he has zero credibility. This in itself is a joke. And it's not as if Kobe is fabricating the story about his team in 2007. TRASH could never establish a career in the NBA so nothing more needs to be said of him. As for Kwame he's had plenty of opportunities, and yet he hasn't put it together. Major props to Chris Mihm for keeping his mouth shut. I actually did hate him all that much in his Laker days anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted October 12, 2012 Owner Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Parker replied back, said something about how he belonged in the NBA, and he stopped passing the ball to Kobe in the second half of his second season with LA. On Around The Horn, they were laughing at it, and said that him being reluctant to pass to a guy averaging 35 PPG is a big reason why he's not in the NBA anymore, lol.

NomarFachix Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 TRASH fired back at Kobe Bryant. Here's what TRASH had to say in response to Kobe's criticism. Great stuff: TRASH fired back at Kobe Bryant on the Hard 2 Guard radio show: “I’m lost for words. It makes me blush. For my name to still come out of that man’s mouth? It makes me blush. It makes no sense.” "Playing with Kobe Bryant was an overrated experience.” “What I personally don’t like about him is the man that he is, his personality, how he treats people. I don’t mess with that man. I don’t like that side of Kobe Bryant. Basketball is a team sport. It’s team-oriented. It’s not an individual sport. It’s not tennis or golf, it is a team sport. When you are the star of the team, you have to make your teammates feel comfortable. You have to make them feel welcome. You have to make it a good working environment. He did not do that at all.” “Midway through the first season, I tried to at least have a conversation with Kobe Bryant – he's my teammate, he's a co-worker of mine, I see his face every day when I go into work. I tried to talk with him about football. He tells me I can’t talk to him, with a serious face. He tells me I need more accolades under my belt before I can come talk to him. He was dead serious.” “He never made any attempt to develop any kind of friendships with any of his teammates. Not when I was there. On road trips, he traveled with his security guards. Those were the guys he talked to. He didn’t talk to any of his teammates. On the team plane, he sat in the back of the plane by himself." "I’ll tell you a funny story. My first year there, we made the playoffs. We’re playing the Phoenix Suns. Phil Jackson gives Lamar Odom his black card to take the team out to dinner and build camaraderie for the playoffs. We show up as a team and hang out as a team. We’re all sitting at one table, the whole team, but Kobe Bryant was sitting by himself at his own table in the corner." “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 (expletive). 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." “Kobe Bryant says I’m the worst point guard, that I should have never made it into the NBA. He just frowns at the thought of me playing in the backcourt with him. Like Jay-Z says, people lie, numbers don’t. Just go to the stats.” “If I don’t deserve to play in the NBA, why am I third on all the stat sheets on the Lakers team those years? I’m top three in all the categories.” I honestly believe most of that, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland's Finest Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) What's with all this hate for TRASH and Mihm?

Owner Real Deal Posted October 13, 2012 Owner Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 I find it hard to believe Kobe refused to talk to Smush just because he didn't have any success to his name...had to have been for some other reason, if he really did refuse. I met Kobe back in 2004, and I talked to him for 3-5 minutes after a game. Me. I was a fan with a #8 jersey on, and that's it. Smush talks about how we should look at his numbers, to determine if he was an NBA player or not. Well, let's do that. His best shooting percentages came in LA (both years). His best 3PT% came in LA. His highest PPG averages, by far...in LA. Aside from the Lakers, and his rookie season (where he started just 18 games), he only had three other starts to his name...and two of those three starts were after he left the Lakers. After putting up 11 PPG on 44% shooting, starting 80 games in 2006-07...he went to the Clippers and Heat, played 28 total games in that one season, and never saw the league again. You rarely see that without some sort of injury coming into play. What happened before he became a Laker, though? Well, he played one season in Cleveland, then was out of the league for an entire year. He then signed with the Pistons, then waived three months later after playing 11 games. He signed a 10-day contract with Phoenix, signed another (I believe), then was waived by the Suns after playing five games for them. Kobe and Phil made Smush Parker. He was worthless before those two, and he became even more worthless (if that's possible) after those two...and now that he put on 100 pounds and is basically irrelevant to the game of basketball, this is his last-ditch effort to make the news.

Owner Real Deal Posted October 13, 2012 Owner Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 What's with all this hate for TRASH and Mihm? When they were on the Cavs they seemed like average NBA players...I just posted about Smush a few minutes ago (he did nothing in Cleveland, absolutely horrible player), but Mihm was a backup at best as a Cavalier, who was shooting 44% or less the first three years he played with Cleveland (he only played three years and 22 games with them), couldn't stay in the game longer than 20 minutes or so because he was averaging nearly six fouls a game PER36...basically just a good rebounder that couldn't post up and had no way of defending anyone. He came to LA and averaged his best numbers as a pro, shot over 50% his first two seasons there (like every big man should), and for some crazy reason, started every single game those first two seasons before he was injured (and it ruined his career). Mihm was in his first year as a Laker without Phil Jackson there, and he soaked in the benefits of playing with Kobe more than Kwame Brown did (because unlike Kwame, Mihm could actually catch a pass). He was able to play at the rim much more, was getting open dunks, passes under the rim, etc...so if Mihm were to ever say a bad word about Bryant, he would be in the same boat as Smush Parker...although, again, Mihm was actually a backup, while Smush should have been left out of the league a long time ago.
