Back on Friday, we featured a story about Kobe Bryant ripping into members of the 2005-2006 Los Angeles Lakers including point guard Smush Parker who he called, "the worst ever".As you may figure, Parker became a hot topic and joined the folks over at the Hard 2 Guard radio to discuss Kobe's comments:“I’m lost for words. It makes me blush. For my name to still come out of that man’s mouth? It makes me blush,” he told Hard 2 Guard. “The two years in LA were a blessing to me,” he said. “People who ask me how it was playing for the Los Angeles Lakers.
