Wtf were his parents smoking when they decided to call their son smush...

LoL I'd have to agree with you there.. is it possible its just a name he goes by and its not his real name? I sure hope so lol..

This is quite possibly the MOST WORTHLESS thread evah.

Full name is William Henry Parker
Nickname is “Smush” - a pet name given to his father, William Parker Jr. by Smush’s mother, Lisa, and was passed on to Smush

Hobbies include bowling, billiards and ping-pong

Must of been one of those home-schooled kids

Best advice he ever received was when his father told him “you can achieve anything if you put your mind to it”

His dad just stole that from Eminem's Lose Yourself song.

speaking of non real first names used in the nba, isnt ray allen's real first name something different? i read somewhere the ray was just a nickname they gave him because of his great 3pt shooting. correct me if im wrong.

i'd rather have smush as my first name then ndubi

I don't see how "Ray" relates to three point shooting. A ray of light, maybe, but still.

His name is Walter Raymond Allen.

I think he grew up being called Ray instead if Walter, I mean Walter is prety much a white name for a black guy, no offence.

Well then, it would fit him perfectly.

You mean Allen isn't white?

Smush isnt that bad compared to names like Tracy, Stacey, Sam, Nicky which can be used for both sexes. I find Nicky quite a feminine name and the same with Stacey/Stacy.

Strangely, in the year Parker entered the draft nbadraft.net had him projected go to to the Lakers in the 1st round, like in the first mock they did for that year.

Is it Smoosh or Smush...as in mushroom?

It's Smush, but pronounced "smoosh" I think.

there are worse nicknames/real names out there

i.e. imagine growing up with the name Gaylord. kids can be relentless

That reminds me of Meet the Parents.

isnt there like a hall of fame baseball pitcher by the name of gaylord perry ?

HAHA Gaylord Perry....

BTW I wouldnt want a nickname thats SMush unless its like a family thang.

i.e. imagine growing up with the name Gaylord. kids can be relentless

+ tha last name Focker.

Gaylord Fuckahh...!!

i think he used smush exclusively when he played streetball... never was he referred to a "william" even on the credits... i sounds like a fusion of smooth and woosh doesn't it? I dunno, but it's catchy...

That's nothing man.. I went to school with a chink bitch named Penny Ho. I'm not even kidding you lol. She was my tutor for Chemistry in grade 11.
