If you guys were watching the game in the 4th quarter, it showed Kobe, Luke, and a couple of other Lakers who were sitting on the bench giggling like a bunch of girls, but Smush wasn't laughing all that much. Here's what happened: <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">As I pointed out, Kobe was having a straight up giggle fit on the bench. When I asked Kobe about the guffaws, he smiled, but wouldn't get into specifics, saying this "confidential" matter between teammates involved a practical joke he played on a Laker just short of a career high. Nice try, Kobe. You gotta get up earlier in the morning to fool a K Brother. Using my brilliant skills as a reporter and detective (plus the stat sheet stating that one William Henry Parker was the only Laker who circled a personal best), I deduced that Smush was the one Kobe punk'd. Upon questioning, he was a less cryptic than Kobe. "It's not a big story. I was on the bench the whole fourth quarter and I had 23 points. My high is 24 and I wanted to go back in. During a time out, I knew I wasn't in the game, but (Kobe) was 'Yo, Smush. Phil wants you.' And I went running to the huddle and they just started laughing." Like the rest of his teammates, Smush was amused by the prank. But before reliving it, Smush was plenty serious praising Kobe's trust in his teammates while shouldering a tremendous load. "His role has changed," nodded Smush. "Without our second best player, Lamar Odom, he feels like he has to fill his (own) shoes and Lamar's shoes at the same time. But every game I tell him, "Have faith in your teammates. We'll step up for you and we'll play for you. Just have faith in us. We'll be a better team for it." As long as Smush and the crew keep stepping up like this, the odds of Kobe's faith (and laughter) continuing to rise are pretty solid. As #24 said after the win, "I had a really good time, just playing together as a unit." </div> Source
lol. Yeah I saw that too in the fourth. I was wondering what they were laughing so hard about. I was just guessing that maybe it was because we were up 20 so everyone was happy. Smush seems like a good guy to poke fun of. I wonder what Phil thought when he saw Smush at the huddle? Probably, wtf are you doing you I don't want you. lol

I dont think smush will average those type of numbers it would be a luxury if he could get those numbers a lot of his shots are open threes
