Smush Parker Kobe Quotations

Kobe is always a factor in the game. I don't think Golden State stopped him from scoring the ball. He just got other guys involved in the offense. It was a game Kobe didn't have to force the game until late.

I was brought here to play defense, to chase the little guards around and to save his energy for the offensive side of the court. I wasn't expecting to shoot the ball. Of course, that's Kobe Bryant, the top player in the league right now. Who's going to tell him not to shoot?

That just initiates the rest of the team to find our own offense within the triangle. Kobe started off slow, but that just allowed us to get offense from everybody else.

I swear I seen Kobe run into a telephone booth, take off his Laker uniform and put on a Superman suit real quick before he went to work. There's no words to express the emotions that I was feeling.
