Kobe Bryant Already in Midseason Trash Talk Form: “I’ve Been Torching that MotherF**ker”
Kobe Bryant, when he’s getting mouthy with the media, is one of the best quotes in the NBA. In his advanced age, he seems more willing to pop off at a moment’s notice. If last year’s occasionally-ornery season with the media was any indication, he plans on going out, gums flapping.
On practicing against former Kentucky guard Jodie Meeks:
More Kobe on Meeks: “I’ve been murdering that dude. I’ve been kicking his a–. I’ve been torching that MFer.”

On his former whipping boy, Smush Parker:
Kobe Bryant: “Smush Parker was the worst. He shouldn’t have been in the NBA but we were too cheap to pay for a point guard.”

Cocky Kobe is the best Kobe:
Kobe Bryant: “I was shooting 45 times a game. What was I supposed to do? Pass it into Chris Mihm and Kwame Brown?”

Old Kobe + stacked team = Potentially legendary year for quotes from Bryant. Can’t wait.

Smush Parker was terrible.

Haha. Chris Mihm. He was supposed to be good or something. IIRC, he had the helicopter parents.

I don’t think I every knew the origin of the term “whipping boy“. Damn, those English were fucked up.

Smush Parker was vital in the Cavs getting the worst record in the league to win the Lebron lottery.
