Smush Parker revisits a turbulent time in his basketball career, echoing his previous thoughts on Kobe Bryant and clarifying his subsequent responses. Parker made headlines in 2007 when he stated playing for the Lakers with Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant was "overrated." The lack of guidance and personal interaction with Bryant led Parker to this conclusion along with his perception that Lakers over-idolized Bryant. This statement incited Bryant to publicly label Parker as his "worst teammate ever." Parker contends his comments were based on factual experiences and not emotions or opinions. Despite the clashes and controversies, Parker admits that they continued to professionally coexist, focusing on victory for the Lakers. Parker continues to express his respect for Bryant's unrivaled commitment to winning but maintains his disapproval of how Bryant treated people.
