The Ghost of Smush

"My momma said I can't let nobody ride my bike so give it back!"

Proverbs 16:18 says, “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.” Big Momma always said, “It ain’t good to talk about people baby, because the Lord don’t like ugly.” The real G’s off of 25th Ave. just kept it real by saying, “He who talk’s trash WILL get ran up on.”

Ole Kobe Bryant and the Lakers are that dude right now getting jumped in the girl's bathroom on lunch hour! They just got another pair of sneakers taken Wednesday night in San Antonio 108-105 and they’re gonna be late for Chemistry class to top that off bruh. On some real talk, they need that class more than anything and now they’ve got to sit through that joint with a bobble head, one eye, no shoes and their stomachs growling because boyz took their lunch money too. A dun just took Kobe's brand new bike before the game, won't give it back and Momma Bryant is hot about it!

I know ya’ll remember when Kobe was talking crazy before the season started because he thought that he had an arsenal to ride with this year. He just knew that he’d be able to roll through the hood and take what he wanted because boyz had signed Steve Nash and Dwight Howard. So he thought that he could pull up in the projects and just punk cats all over again! Then all of a sudden he cursed the Lakers by doing the unthinkable! He went at Smush Parker!

Remember when he told reporters back in October that Smush was the worst player ever and that the only reason that he was in the NBA at the time was because the Lakers were too cheap in 2005-06 to go get a real point? So they let Smush walk-on. He also went on to tell Pro Basketball Talk, “I don’t know how Kwame Brown convinced Philadelphia to cough up $7 million a year. They want to lock us out but they’ll pay him $7 million.”

It’s called Karma playboy! How does a dun with 5 NBA Championships even fix his mouth to talk about a cat that’s somewhere on fries minding his own business? First of all, why would you even remember a dun with a name like Smush! But he's that dude in the hood that never bothered anybody but was cool with all of the gangsta’s. Then some cat takes his shoes on the way to school thinking that he just came up until all the G’s role up on him and give him a beat down for the ages. See even though ole boy was quiet he was connected. Ya’ll know that cat, we all know him.

The Lakers are the clowns that didn't know him however! They're 15-20 and the O.G. from the West side, Oklahoma City, is waiting at the end of the block on Friday to re-up on these boyz and empty their pockets again. That’s why the old playa’s in the barber shop would always say, “Hey young blood, always be cool out here because you never know how things gone turn out! Don’t make enemies in the hood when you gotta live here.”

Now don’t get me wrong the Black Mamba is ballin’ this year but the curse has him stuck in the mud! He’s leading the NBA in scoring averaging 30.1 points per game but his team is 5 games below .500! Talk about a curse, a ghost or just plain old Karma bruh!! How are you leading the league in scoring on a team that keeps getting their shoes tied together and pushed down the stairs, only to get locked in the janitor’s closet after school?

The ghost of Smush ain’t no joke and I bet he'll think twice about insulting duns that aren't even in the league anymore! That's like pushing the kid in the wheelchair in the face in front of the whole school! You know you gotta pay for that, right?

The sad part about it is this, Kobe forgot all about his insult but the streets haven’t. So he keeps walking into a set up every night getting his sneakers taken, getting kicked square in the pants and he can’t figure out why! Like the old school coaches used to say, “Just shut up and play ball bruh!” Unfortunately, he’s gotta let the curse play out this year because like the old timers used to say, “It’s bought and paid for now.” Better luck next year homie!

Holla At Ya Boy!
