Kobe Bryant Criticizes Former Lakers Smush Parker, Kwame Brown

I am a big fan of Kobe & one of the haters too when he’s ball hogging. But you are wrong about smush parker & Kwame being the cause of Lakers failure those years.
You guys w/Shaq, malone, payton, younger you had been blowed out a lot against pistons in the finals, upto lastyear & few years since gasol came to the Lakers, being blowed up by Lebron James team every Christmas time. Those are triangle system times. The problem is you guys don’t have a play maker like Nash, Wade & Lebron. If you exchange wade or lebron or nash for kobe with  the team of Butler, Smush, Odom, Kwame they will past second round. Because feeling being involved all the time, creating plays for them will make them a better player. Kobe on the other hand, because of lots of ball hogging moments, the better player becomes good player, the fine players becomes worse. It’s not all kobe’s fault, it’s the triangle system that makes him to ball hog. But thanks to triangle system we had MJ & Kobe, the big part of there flourish is having the ball most of the time.

Mike brown should insert Goudelock to the rotation, he is a big shooter that Nash needs & a consistent floater shots.
Gasol should be in the second unit so there is no excuse for him for not being aggressive. It’s a waste of talent if he becomes at the 4 in the staring line up & just doing jump shots that he misses a lot.

Tortuous?  That was the early Nineties when we had nothing more than draft picks Nick Van Exel, Eddie Jones and Anthony Peeler to rest our hopes on. 

He forgot about soft ass Brian Cook.  lol

smush and kwame sucked no doubt.  unfortunately, kobe isn’t really one to ever take blame for anything.  it was his and shaq’s immaturity that caused the lakers to have to blow up a dynasty.  i have enjoyed kobe over the last nearly 2 decades, but ive never enjoyed to drama or controversy surrounding him.  he’s always carried himself in a very spoiled and selfish way.  ive been on his side through much of it.  the organization was gutted in teh fallout of him opting out of his contract and threatening to leave that yr.  once lakers made committent to him, shaq was pissed that lakers would not re-up his deal to be league’s biggest contract again (kg had passed him up with t-wolves by then).  shaq was also pissed that lakers did not choose him over kobe and went ballistic until they had to trade him.  derek fisher left for golden state or some shit, rick fox retired, horry was already gone from the season before.  phil walked away.  no one wanted to play with kobe at that time (some still dont), no one wanted to coach him, so rudy tomjanovich got the job, but had to quit when his health wouldnt let him stand the stress of coaching a mediocre lakers team.  frank hamblen had no idea of how to be a head coach, best thing he did was re-institute the triangle offense as the lakers were going to work to get phil back as coach.  anyway, yes those guys sucked big time and should never have been lakers. but they were lakers due to kobe’s selfishness and non-stop bullshit with shaq…

Kobe’s the man! He can say whatever the fck he wants! hahaha

I don’t know. Of course those guys weren’t great players, but it’s not their fault they were seen as the first unit on an NBA team. That blame goes to management. Chris Mihm was a decent center until he broke his foot. Kwame and Smush were bad, but I agree with others that it’s kind of beneath a player like Kobe to badmouth others. Not everyone is Kobe Bryant.
