Best known for:

– Being synonymous with the mid-‘00s Lakers being shit
– Being the 2nd leading scorer for the Lakers the night Kobe had 81
– Talking shit about Kobe
– Getting continuously trashed in return by Kobe – his own teammate – who said he was the worst and shouldn’t have been in the NBA
Dead-Set Ledge Status:
Assured! Mate – Smush had an All-Time GREAT NBA name, he’s a legit great bloke, he’s a playground legend in NYC, and will be forever remembered for being trashed by Kobe. Also, who else gets singled out for trash talking by Kobe when they played together? … Well. Except Shaq. And Kwame Brown. And Chris Mihm. And Dwight Howard. And Nick Young. And Tierre Brown. And Jordan Clarkson. And Jeremy Lin. And Jodie Meeks. And Pau Gasol… huh. Anyway.
