William "Smush" Parker
798,112 dollars. That is how much the worst player in the NBA is getting played by one of its most prestigious franchises, the Los Angeles Lakers. Move over Shavlik Randolph, there is a new person to steal the last spot on ever bench in the league.Smush Parker might have been good on the streets of Queens, but he couldn't possibly make it in the NBA. You might have thought that his offense was why the reason the Lakers signed him, but he plays worse defense then Shawn Bradley (see NBA's Biggest Bitches on Youtube.com). He got torched repeatedly by anyone he guarded, and then his offense tanked. He tries to compete with the Big Boys, but he has no shot. He was terribly inconsistent because street ballers only play about once a week.His playoff performance was abysmal, shooting under twenty percent AT HOME. Sure, he made a great lay to steal the ball for Kobe, but if he hadn't blown the game with his awful defense on Steve Nash, Leandro Barbosa, and everyone that was near Staples Center on April 30th, the Lakers would'nt need to bail outs by Bryant. He was good at defense throughout the year, but you can not just crumble when it matters most: the playoffs. If Phil Jackson had him in over Sasha Vujacic for offense, he should have been pulled after 2-12, 1-7, and 0-5 performances from the field. If he was in for defense, why was Steve Nash averaging five more points per game than the regular season? There is only one to say to this abysmal playoff performing wannabe:Welcome Back to the NBDL!
