Smush Parker, the point guard partner of the late Kobe Bryant in his heyday, left the NBA at the age of 26, and later became a basketball prodigy and also played for CBA.
After retiring from his career, Parker chose a different path. At the age of 41, he is moving towards becoming an NBA referee.
Parker has only played five seasons in the NBA, playing for the Cavaliers, Pistons, Suns, Lakers, Heat and Clippers.
Although he has often been rejected by fans for not being qualified to match with Brian in the two seasons of the Lakers, even Brian has criticized him for “not worthy of being an NBA player”, but this period is the peak of his personal career.
He played all the time in the purple gold team, and almost played as the starter. In the 2005-06 season, he scored 11.5 points, 3.7 assists 3.3 Backboard.
However, after Parker left the Lakers, he disappeared in the NBA only for one season, and then began his overseas career.
According to American media reports, after his retirement in recent years, Parker is actively accumulating law enforcement experience and hopes to return to the NBA as a referee one day.
