Smush Parker claps back at Kobe “he told me I didn’t have enough accolades to talk to him”

Smush Parker 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 Smush 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.”

Is Smush really acting like he was lighting it up while in the NBA? Was he a difference maker ANYWHERE? As far as Kobe being anti-social, tell us something Shaq or Phil Jackson didn’t tell us a million years ago. We all see Kobe has just come out of his shell in recent years. But we also know the thing he detests the most when it comes to basketball is laziness.

I’m just saying Smush, you got suspended from the Heat on your off day like Craig in Friday. Just because it’s mean doesn’t mean Bryant doesn’t have a point. Like you said, numbers don’t lie and right now you’re says Mr. Overseas…
