nikkas had expectations for Smush Parker?
hell yeah.
on paper all the Lakers pg in that draft era.
from, parker to sun yue looked like bonafide steals and stars via height and metrics.
I think kobe recognized the nikka was close to his height in metrics and went at him. To get him outta there like eddie JONES.
to eliminate any possible threats off pure metrics and the rest is comedic buster hoops history.
if smush parker had of played his cards right, socially and administratively as a pro.
parker, imo could have been the john starks remember me Michael jordan story. for some rival west coast playoff team that is trumped up in lore. Just because it was Kobe. Instead dude is outta there. Yet if duke knew history and how fanatical kobe was about mj. He should have used that as motivation.
to study how john starks ramped and at least got back some dignity like starks did. Whom Jordan reportedly made cry as a bull.
nikkaz say they are hiphop.
yet do not know how to dig in the crate to get a rival up outta there. The shyt hilarious cause it exposes how so many faked jax in everything. While trying to front like they were this other thing and never really ever were. Plus ruined what they were good at and good in. Trying to appease some prison industrial economy created trap.
