Jordan Farmar's 2008-2009 season was a struggle. Injury, poor play, a near-total loss of playing time down the stretch, capped with a bit of redemption as the playoffs went along. None of that, though, really gets to the heart of what raised red flags about Farmar and his future in L.A. Specifically, attitude. And not a particularly good one. Farmar, who had never faced much competition for the backup...

You have to be suspicious of any interviewer who introduces Smush Parker as “a legend in his own right” - a legend at what, being mediocre? But shockingly that’s not the dodgiest thing said in an interview found by the ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER of the former Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat point guard playing [...]

by Brett Pollakoff Filed under: Heat , Lakers , NBA Videos Remember Smush Parker ? Besides famously being thrown off of the Miami Heat for fighting with a female valet attendant over a lousy twelve bucks , he was also the starting point guard for the Lakers during two of their worst seasons in recent memory -- 2006 and 2007. You'd think that since Smush is now out of the NBA, he'd look back on his...

The Lakers' 2008-2009 campaign has been so successful that a two-game winning streak represents the four horseman of the apocalypse joining us on Earth. Or Smush Parker rejoining the purple and gold, whichever scenario fans find more frightening. But thankfully, the opportunity to get back on track waited in the wings with the Grizzlies on hand. Their "we've got spirit, yes we do" quotient...

Smush Parker, Los Angeles Lakers: With Bynum out for 8-12 weeks, the Lakers now have a giant hole in their roster. Maybe they could pile these two guys on top of each other and cover them in a giant jersey? (Found by Jorge in Huntington Beach, CA and Darren in Los Angeles.)

At least former Lakers/Heat PG Smush Parker hung around the NBDL long enough to visit Austin. Last week, the Monitor’s Todd Mavreles reported Parker had left the Rio Grande Vipers to sign with Guandong of the Chinese Basketball Association.

Well, the world may soon learn, since Smush Parker has bolted the states (and his NBDL Rio Grande Valley Vipers) for a stint in the Chinese Basketball Association. The team now employing William Henry is believed to be the Guangdong. In related news, Yao Ming is not losing sleep over threatened status as the country's most popular player. But at least if Smush isn't communicating with this particular...
