Smush Parker on Becoming a Referee, Seeing Refs Give Favorable Treatment to Kobe Bryant (Part 10) 

Part 34: did Kobe sit down or stand up when he peed

You gotta watch out for people that are the victim in every story.

Amazing Smush interview!! As "Kobe's worst teammate" especially after what happened in 2020 this man was set up to be hated... Loved hearing him speak on things and get to say his side of the story, classy conversation all around

He should’ve been a referee when played for the Lakers 😂

That hat is giving a massive anxiety attack 😂😂😂

Vlad talked for the last 15 min of the video damn!!

I think the Kobe stopper was Raja Bell. I heard the story about his defense impacting ratings

Smush looks like Ne-Yo

Ewing, Barkley, Dominique Wilkins, T Mac, AI, and a slew of other super elite basketball players never won a ring 😂 I wonder why?

A backhanded compliment is crazy 😂

Vlad is full of it!!! He did not say they were told to give him special treatment. He said they were told to actually make the calls that they should. Basically they were told to do their job!!

he mighta shot himself in the foot with gettin that NBA spot with this one. damn

I feel like a athlete can play a sport as long as he wants if he takes his body, he doesn’t fall into the pressure of the league giving you amount of time that you have to retire it’s up to the player!

Whoever is making the league the most money is going to get special treatment no matter what. No difference between the wwe and the nba.

You're not over the hill at 26. You're over the hill when you can't produce. Rashard was not producing anymore.

Good interview, he needs to come back and talk about being a ref the good the bad the ugly

11:56 this is what it looks like when you have no faith in yourself

"They would show videos of Raja fouling Kobe that was not called. They made sure these fouls on Kobe would called next time." Now to rework that statement like Kobe get special treatment is crazy. Where is the special treatment when he was getting held and fouled but the whistle didn't blow? Thumbs down

Salute to Vlad for giving Smush his props

Glad it's ridiculous with the triple throwback on this interview😂

Glad just broke a record with the quadruple flashback 😂

This man and John Salley have the same exact voice 😂

I swear i dont remember this guy

All that was missing was a Boosie flashback

Damn this clip had more flashbacks than anything. Vlad was just trying to get the most in this video.

Now he should know he can’t say nothing bad about Kobe, nothing!

Bro a referee he’s down bad

Legend has it smush still has Kobe’s used shorts he stole from his locker

The refs biased went to another level with Lebron.

Can’t be coach high school basketball tho, why is he refereeing high school 😂

He ref my game this season! D3 school PSU Abington.

Man he must of been in his feeling about Kobe half his life.

I dont think nike gives bron a lifetime deal if they’re not trying to sell his products anymore.

What is this??!! Came here to hear what Smush had to say but left with a dissertation from Vlad and flash backs from other interviews 😢! I hope Smush does an interview on another platform where they ask him questions and let him answer

Got Damn How many flashbacks did Vlad include in this interview. This is terrible!!

The rare double Flashback

Dude you leaving out that this happened for every star player not just Bean

Vlad thinking refs can just go look at replays but if they do they’re not gonna make it shows how little he knows about the sport! All the NBA players he interviews and still don’t know more than his research team tells him!… love the interviews though 😂😂😂

Raja Bell needed refs to slow him down wow talk about underrated player

Taye Diggs on da court 😊😊

NBA refs tend to be clean cut and wear T-shirts. This guy has arm and neck tatoos that he probably thought were a good idea to get in his 20's. Another example of young people not thinking ahead. I doubt hard he will become an NBA ref

Its crazy how what kobe says and media can change your perception of a guy. Because Kobe said Smush was his worst teammate we look at him like he was trash. But he averaged 11 points a game and 3.2 assists for 2 seasons with the lakers and was only given 2 chances and no time to develop. On the OTHER HAND, Derek Fisher was who Kobe said was his favorite teammate. Fisher was given 13 seasons with the Lakers and never progressed past an average point guard with no all star appearances. Fisher averaged 8 points a game around 2 assists for his career with the Lakers. Dereks rookie year he avg 3.9 ppg and he didnt avg more than 6 ppg for the next 4 years. Fishers looked at as a beloved Laker, while Smush is considered worthless. And it most likely has to do with Kobe liking Derek and not liking Smush. Kobe was probably instrumental on getting Smush cut despite him putting up better numbers in just 2 seasons than Fisher. We never got to see Smush's progression cuz no one ever gave him a shot. Verdict: Smush was an average point guard, but in no way does he deserve to be called trash or someones worst teammate. Smush could ball and couldve progressed to a 15-17 ppg point guard or a solid 6th man.

You want be reff in the NBA buddy.. Thanks Vlad you did it again SMDH
