Smush Parker is putting his ill feelings aside for Kobe Bryant's retirement tribute.

Bryant has, in the past, publicly recalled how terrible Parker was during their time as Los Angeles Lakers teammates, at one point calling him "the worst" and saying that Smush "shouldn't have been in the NBA."

However, with the news that the 2015-16 season will be Kobe's last, Parker took to Instagram with a nice message for the man he called "one of our era's great players."
