Grantland has put out their version of the NBA’s redacted scouting reports, and the Lakers report is a doozy.
In the satire piece, a former Lakers staff member deemed Kobe Bryant among other things, a guy who refused to learn his teammates names, and all about himself.
The tidbit from the report that is sure to cause conversation in NBA circles, is the report that Bryant disliked Smush Parker so much, that he made him get dressed in a broom closet, because “Parker would eventually have to get used to being around the things he would use when he became a janitor.”
Bryant’s dislike for Parker was strong, but I wonder if Smush ever had to see a therapist after the treatment he received from the ‘Black Mamba.”
Again, the report is a joke, but Grantland did an excellent job of reporting what a scouting report on Bryant could look like.
