Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Let's Check in With Smush Parker, Shall We?

Photo

August is a pretty rough time for those of us who cover TEH HOOPS. Free agency's over, and training camps are a couple months away. The FIBA tournament doesn't start for another few weeks. To fill column inches and pixel quotas, you've got to lower your standards and scrape the gutter for stories you'd be embarrassed to publish any other time of year.

In unrelated news, anyone want to know what Smush Parker is up to these days? OHAI, Joseph Staszewski of the New York Post!

In yesterday's edition of the paper, Mr. Staszewski wrote an article with the actual headline, "Ex-Fordham Star Parker Looks to Revive NBA Career." No, seriously. Those are words that the Post printed and delivered to newsstands and subscribers. It's one of those articles of which you wouldn't have to alter a single word if you wanted to run it in the Onion.

Smush, in case you're wondering, which obviously you're not because who cares, has been playing in China, for the Guangdong (heh heh, "dong") Southern Tigers. You're not going to believe this, but it turns out the Chinese Basketball League is not the height of aspiration for an American-born basketball player. Nope. La Smush wants back in the NBA.

Star-divide

Share with us your unrealistic ambitions, Smush:

Parker would be OK with playing overseas again, but really wants another crack at the NBA.

"It's about playing at the top level of basketball that there is," Parker said.... "I feel like I can play at that level and I've proven myself. It's just about trying to get back."

Yeah, I don't think that's happening. During his time with the Lakers, Smush had moments of not being entirely awful. But starting in 2006, he pretty conclusively demonstrated that he's not an NBA-caliber guard, and his career cratered in 2007-08 when he blasted out a PER of 7.0 in 28 games with the Heat and Clippers. He's now 29 years old, which isn't an age at which guards are known to improve, let alone achieve the enormous jump in productivity that Smush would need to get back in the league.

I'm curious to know, however, what a one-time Fairfield player I've never heard of has to say about this. Can you please address the issue, Mr. Staszewski?

At Pro City, a streetball league he plays in religiously each summer, Parker looked like a polished pro. He slipped by defenders to the basket, finished 3-point plays and connected from behind the arc. He collected steals and set up teammates. The league is a way for him to stay in shape and compete against top competition."He is phenomenal," former Fairfield star Darren Phillip said. "That’s an NBA basketball player."

Note to self: do not give scouting job to former Fairfield star Darren Phillip.

Look, I don't want to be the guy to crush someone's dreams. If Smush can hustle a tryout and a 10-day contract with an NBA team somewhere, God bless him. As long as it's not the Boston Celtics. That would be a heinous act of betrayal on the part of a Laker legend and would ensure that Smush's jersey is never retired at Staples Center.

To his credit, Parker is something of a YouTube legend for famously saying:

“The problem with that team starts with him and ends with him,” in reminiscing on his time spent playing alongside Kobe Bryant.

Though, leading his team to two titles and three Finals appearances in the last three seasons…not bad for a problem child.

Not really

I’m quite aware that laptops can play games quite well, depending on the game. What I consider silly is the idea that anyone would buy a laptop for games. If you’re buying a computer for games, you buy a desktop. And it’ll be cheaper, too.

So it’s not the idea that laptops can play games; it’s the idea that you’d buy a laptop with gaming in mind, high on the list of things you intend to do with the computer.

Yeah, me neither.

I used to love gaming — and let’s be honest, I still would, if I could find time for it. But as much as I enjoy it, there are simply far too many other things that I could be doing that are far more worthwhile. There are the things I NEED to be doing — responsibilities, work, etc. And there are hobbies like playing music, writing, riding my motorcycle, etc., which are simply more rewarding and worthwhile than the sheer mindless, simple amusement of playing games.

Honestly, I think the idea of gaming being a priority concern when buying a computer is really only suited to single guys between the ages of 17 (or younger, if your parents spoil you) and 22.

I see what you mean by gaming though. Besides during class and when I wouldn’t text, I would never game whilst I had a girlfriend.

well, not really so silly

i also love games and think it extreme to buy a laptop exclusive for gaming. but it’s not that silly when we take into consideration what pro-gamers do. heck, they even bring their personal keyboards and mouses on competitions! that’s just how die-hard gamers are. hobbies/interests do create variations of “extreme” behavior of passion (maybe, also, obsession and addiction) for these hobbies. thus, i can understand the gamer’s reason/motivation/psyche/etc. on buying a laptop for his gaming.

Well

at one point in time, artists didn’t get paid for it, but now that its a bigger part of the medium they do receive a percentage of it just like any other album sales and tour sales. And Windows DRM is extremely bad, especially their whole subscription policy where you don’t really own it. Apple’s is better, but they limit you to iPods. Napster and other DRM downloadable sights though don’t restrict you as far as I remember. the only ones creating a monopoly for it is Apple and Microsoft because of their respective mp3 players.

Apple also has a DMR-free option on much of their music, and in higher quality/more efficient format. I think if Jobs has his way, he’ll eventually get rid of DRM. But it’s a power struggle between the RIAA and Apple, at this point.

Oh of course

I know that part. I also know they are trying to stranglehold the profits in the RIAA. DRM-free makes it so much easier to share and I believe they actually made it so that when you buy an album the whole thing comes DRM-free now. I remember why it is people don’t like it now. I was forgetting the other half of the story about the limitations of DRM.

I listen to non-popular bands

and the smaller bands don’t get enough money to even pay their costs. DRM is a broken model not just for the consumer, but the majority of musicians who get a pittance if anything.

It really is a pittance

artists get royally screwed on a lot of the deals they sign because so much of the money is spread out that it always takes a lot of time to actually build up the money and be able to maintain it.

Indeed

It’s ridiculously hard to make a living as a musician. The only ones that meet with any success are the ones the big labels choose to promote — and generally, they make those choices based not on musical talent, but other issues, undoubtedly relating to marketability and how much cash they can squeeze out of the cow.

cracks down on like every single torrent out there. I’ve found some that you can use, but they use students activity and block everything they come across because everyone is on the same wi-fi network. Except for occasionally someone would bring their own internet hook-up, but then they’d lock it after everyone would go to his connection to illegally download music or movies.

They do have recent ones. This whole year. Probably the last couple years, at least.

But I’m the type that I’d love to have access to every Lakers gave ever televised, either nationally or locally. I don’t know, maybe I’m weird… But one day when my kid is 11 and my Lakers aren’t relevant at the moment, I’d like to be able to pull out 2001-02 and watch every game of the season, wins and losses, not knowing what the result will be, with my son. I’d like to go back and watch every game Magic ever played. I want my kids to grow up knowing how incredible Magic and Kobe were.

That’s what I mean about “all games.” You ever find that… let me know.

Well, it's generally either a parenthetical phrase or an introductory phrase.

The former would come in the middle of a sentence, and would have commas both before and after. The latter would come at the beginning of the sentence, and would have a comma after — as was the case, in fact, (<— parenthetical phrase) when SCG used it in acronym form.

Of course, if you’re going to capitalize “Record”, then suddenly I start to think it’s the title of something — a book, an article… a record. In that case, it would be a stand-alone phrase, and not a sentence (or part of one) at all. But, then again, titles generally don’t get periods.

Funny thing is...

I’m a high school math teacher now. First day of class is the 23rd. I’m going to be Mr. Tucker, which is weird enough, because that’s my dad — and I was in his class.

But then, the other day, I was considering whether I was going to let the kids call me “Mr. T,” which some teachers do — my high school AP US History and Literature teacher, for example, Miss O — until it occurred to me that I don’t really have the haircut necessary to pull that off.

I suppose you could put it at the end of the sentence.

I still watch and enjoy the lakers when they suck. They’re not always going to be contenders. Management has proven they try their best to put a winning product on the court. Sometimes you can’t beat destiny. Ala after shaq left. We sucked. Look what happened. We got the right pieces again. Who knows? Maybe the next time we end up in the lottery we draft the next kobe or magic? Losing makes winning all the more sweeter

So here’s the guy who owes every ounce of what (very) little respect he ever did receive as a basketball player to Kobe Bryant, and he’s trashing Kobe and saying that playing with him was overrated.

Hey Smushy, buddy— in Miami, D-Wade and Shaq couldn’t make you look good enough to even sit on the bench, let alone play… and let’s not even talk about starting! Only Kobe could pull off such a miracle.

ESPN putting OKC at #3 is giving them waaay too much credit

They’ll be good, but not the 3rd best team in the league good.

I know Durant is a “beast” but that team is still a long ways off from being better than Orlando. Plus, they’ll have targets on their backs and for a young team like OKC, I don’t know if they’ll be able to handle it.

Lol

NSFW = Cookies?

Apparently there are some inside jokes here that I still don’t get…

"You know, I mean we have all this amazing technology and yet computers have turned into basically four figure wank machines. The internet was supposed to set us free, democratize us, but all it's really given us is Howard Dean's aborted candidacy and 24 hour a day access to kiddie porn. People... they don't write anymore, they blog. Instead of talking, they text, no punctuation, no grammar: LOL this and LMFAO that. You know, it just seems to me it's just a bunch of stupid people pseudo-communicating with a bunch of other stupid people at a proto-language that resembles more what cavemen used to speak than the King's English." — Hank Moody, Californication

Hey now

Okay, probably true.

But then I’ll be back before you know it.

I gotta get to my studies, but I basically have no choice but to get them done in the next few weeks. After that, I’ll have a little time. I’ll be around.
