He's back!!!!! (well almost) 
Smush Parker Has Sights Set On NBA, Plans To Play in D-League
| Quote: | Nearly a decade later Parker, now 35-years old, has been out to prove that there is more to him than his brief back-and-forth with the ‘Black Mamba’ and he plans on using the D-League as a stage and, hopefully, a vehicle to make it back into the NBA.
Parker even went as far as trying out for the Long Island Nets on a whim after his pastor mentioned the Nets had a D-League team. Parker, however, is not eligible to be claimed as a tryout player as any player with an NBA career cannot be allocated as such. |

This is not real life.
Only thing better than this is the mention of his beef with black mamba being a career highlight. |

| His life is probably so jacked up that he can't hold a job and needs the money that he could get in the d-league. |

Somebody slip a note to Smush telling him this is not 2005.

I thought the highlight of his career was when he assaulted a parking attendant... |
Totally forgot about the Smushcalade though... |

Why Try Out for Nets’ New D-League Team? It Beats Playing in Mongolia
| Quote: | Amid a predictable fare of drills and full-court scrimmages, it quickly became clear that some players had better odds than others of landing one of those precious camp invitations. Langdon, once a first-round N.B.A. draft choice who played in the N.B.A. and in Russia, identified one candidate with a unique background: Smush Parker, a former guard with the Lakers who has spent recent years circling the globe on a basketball odyssey.
“I wanted to see the world,” Parker said.
Parker, 35, most recently played for teams in Tunisia and Morocco. When he renewed his passport, the government sent him one with extra pages. But he now calls Brooklyn home — “I’m a five-minute bike ride from Barclays Center,” he said — and learned of the D-League tryout from his pastor, a big fan of the Brooklyn Nets. “I’m here on his blessings,” Parker said. |

Damn, I'm surprised he's only 35. Billy Mac 'n Stu made me do a WTH yesterday. I swear Billy said Brevin Knight instead of Brandon and Stu didn't pick up the error and agreed with him.

Stu didn't correct him? 
Also, funny how Smush now decides to make a comeback after Kobe retires. Was he just dodging him?
Imagine if Kobe was guarded by Smush. Kobe would relish the opportunity and destroy him. |

With the Nets roster, he could very well get a call up... |
